From Caching to Monopolization: Seasonal Foraging Strategies and Behavioural Responses in Captive Felidae, Accipitridae, and Canidae in UK Wildlife Sanctuaries

2026-05-12

Abstract excerpt

Context. Scavenging is a fundamental aspect of vertebrate ecology, influencing taphonomy, nutrient cycling, carrion decomposition, and predator-prey dynamics. However, comparative data on taxon-specific carcass use, dispersal, and bone surface modifications (BSMs) in semi-controlled settings remain limited. Such data are essential for understanding foraging strategies, refining decomposition models, and informing...
