Contributions of wild and provisioned foods to the diets of domestic cats that depredate wild animals
<p>Predation of wildlife by domestic cats <i>Felis catus</i> presents a threat to biodiversity conservation in some ecological contexts. The proportions of wild prey captured and eaten by domestic cats and thus the contributions of wild prey to cat diets are hard to quantify. This limits understanding of any impacts of cats may have on wild animal populations and confounds analyses of the effects of interventions aimed at reducing wildlife killing.</p> <p>We used stable isotope analyses to quantify the relative contributions of wild and provisioned foods to the diets of domestic cats kept as companion animals and which frequently captured wild prey. We tested the effects of treatments aimed at reducing killing upon stable isotope ratios of cat whiskers and, where treatments had significant effects, we estimated variation in the contributions of wild prey to cats' diets before and during treatment. We evaluated bells, Birdsbesafe collar covers, provision of food in a 'puzzle feeder', provision of food in which meat was the principal source of protein, object play and a control group.</p> <p><span>As expected, cat diets consisted primarily of provisioned foods, though the contribution of wild animals to the diets of these cats, all of which regularly caught wild animals, was low (cat food ~96%, wild animals ~3</span>–<span>4%). Compared to the pre-treatment period and control group, cats with a Birdsbesafe collar cover, exhibited significant reduction in nitrogen stable isotope ratios in their whiskers and consumed less wild prey, most likely attributable to effective inhibition of hunting, particularly for birds. Fitting cats with a Birdsbesafe collar cover, therefore, reduced both returns of wild birds and consumption of wild prey.</span></p> <p><span>While multiple interventions can significantly affect the numbers of wild animals that cats capture and return home, the remarkably small dietary contributions made by wild animal prey mean dietary change is harder to discern. Domestic cats rely almost exclusively on food provided by people even when they frequently kill wild animals. This suggests that the hunting behavior of domestic cats may be driven by behavioral motivations, or by a need to address micronutrient requirements, but is unlikely to alter macronutrient intake.</span></p>
Wild Plants Used as Vegetables by Transhumant People Around the Georgia–Turkey Border in the Western Lesser Caucasus
<p> Recent ethnobotanical studies in the Caucasus, mainly in Georgia, reveal the</p> <p>significant ethnobotanical knowledge of local people related to wild edible plants.</p> <p>However, few studies have been conducted in the Lesser Caucasus, West Georgia,</p> <p>and the Turkish Caucasus. is study aims to represent and evaluate the cultural</p> <p>importance of wild vegetable plants and their patterns of use along the</p> <p>Georgia–Turkey border. During the transhumance period in the summers of 2017</p> <p>and 2018, 104 participants (65 in Turkey and 39 in Georgia) were interviewed</p> <p>using a semistructured questionnaire. e Cultural Importance Index and</p> <p>Relative Frequency of Citation were used to compare the relative importance of</p> <p>species in each region. e use of 83 wild plant species from 23 plant families as</p> <p>vegetables was documented, with 45 species recorded in Georgia and 72 species in</p> <p>Turkey. One-third of the recorded wild plant species and 52 use instances out of</p> <p>122 species-use combinations were shared on both sides of the border. Women</p> <p>and men had mentioned almost the same number of species, and there was a</p> <p>nonsignificant correlation between plant knowledge and age. Although there</p> <p>were no significant differences in the plant parts used, the way people used plants</p> <p>as vegetables varied significantly across the border. Considering the floral</p> <p>similarity across the border, the number of species used in common and shared</p> <p>vegetable plant knowledge was quite low. ere is not a significant difference</p> <p>between the two countries in terms of the most frequently cited and culturally</p> <p>important species (Rumex, Urtica, and Polygonum spp.). However, the</p> <p>recognition of some of the most important shared species (Heracleum,</p> <p>Chaerophyllum, Arctium, and Campanula spp.) diverged significantly in different</p> <p>administrative regions.</p>
Influence of the haemosporidian Leucocytozoon spp. over reproductive output in a wild Neotropical passerine, the Thorn-tailed Rayadito Aphrastura spinicauda
<p>Life-history theory predicts that hosts may adjust the costs of parasites by altering their reproductive effort. Haemosporidian parasites can affect the reproductive output of wild birds in multiple ways.<b> </b>Thorn-tailed Rayaditos <i>Aphrastura spinicauda</i> breeding in Navarino Island, Southern Chile (55°-40° S) experience high prevalence of the haemosporidian <i>Leucocytozoon </i>spp., which opens the possibility of exploring how these parasites may affect reproductive output in a Neotropical bird species. We compared several variables describing reproductive output (laying date, clutch size, incubation period, brood size, nestling body condition and early-life telomere length) of infected and non-infected parents (individually and as breeding pairs). We found that infected-females and breeding pairs with both parents infected showed significantly shorter incubation periods than un-infected Thorn-tailed Rayaditos. Furthermore, breeding pairs with both parents infected raised nestlings with higher body condition than nestlings for which infection was present in only one or in none of the parents. Our results suggest that the higher the parental investment, the higher the risk of relapse of chronic infection by <i>Leucocytozoon </i>spp<i>. </i>Thorn-tailed Rayaditos that decrease their incubation period pay the cost of infection to take advantage of early breeding through a greater more availability of resources, producing nestlings with higher body condition.</p>
A trait-based framework for predicting foodborne pathogen risk from wild birds
<p>Recent foodborne illness outbreaks have heightened pressures on growers to deter wildlife from farms, jeopardizing conservation efforts. However, it remains unclear which species, particularly birds, pose the greatest risk to food safety. Using >11,000 pathogen tests and 1,565 bird surveys covering 139 bird species from across the western U.S.A., we examined the importance of 11 traits in mediating wild bird risk to food safety. We tested whether traits associated with pathogen exposure (<i>e.g</i>., habitat associations, movement, and foraging strategy) and pace-of-life (clutch size and generation length) mediated foodborne pathogen prevalence and proclivities to enter farm fields and defecate on crops. <i>Campylobacter </i>spp. were the most prevalent enteric pathogen (8.0%), while <i>Salmonella</i> and Shiga-toxin producing <i>E. coli </i>(STEC) were rare (0.46% and 0.22% prevalence, respectively). We found that several traits related to pathogen exposure predicted pathogen prevalence. Specifically, <i>Campylobacter </i>and STEC-associated virulence genes were more often detected in species associated with cattle feedlots and bird feeders, respectively. <i>Campylobacter </i>was also more prevalent in species that consumed plants and had longer generation lengths. We found that species associated with feedlots were more likely to enter fields and defecate on crops. Our results indicated that canopy-foraging insectivores were less likely to deposit foodborne pathogens on crops, suggesting growers may be able to promote pest-eating birds and birds of conservation concern (<i>e.g.</i>, via nest boxes) without necessarily compromising food safety. As such, promoting insectivorous birds may represent a win-win-win for bird conservation, crop production, and food safety. Collectively, our results suggest that separating crop production from livestock farming may be the best way to lower food safety risks from birds. More broadly, our trait-based framework suggests a path forward for co-managing wildlife conservation and food safety risks in farmland by providing a strategy for holistically evaluating the food safety risks of wild animals, including under-studied species.</p>

Data from: Wild Goffin's cockatoos flexibly manufacture and use tool sets
<p>The use of different tools to achieve a single goal is considered unique to human and primate technology. To unravel the origins of such complex behaviors, it is crucial to investigate tool use that does not occur species wide. These cases can be assumed to have emerged innovatively and be applied flexibly, thus emphasizing creativity and intelligence. However, it is intrinsically challenging to record tool innovations in natural settings that do not occur species-wide. Here we report the discovery of two distinct tool manufacture methods and the use of tool sets in wild Goffin's cockatoos (<i>Cacatua goffiniana</i>). Up to three types of wooden tools, differing in their physical properties and each serving a different function, were manufactured and employed to extract embedded seed matter of <i>Cerbera manghas</i>. While Goffin's cockatoos do not depend on tool-obtained resources, repeated observations of two temporarily kept wild birds and indications from free-ranging individuals suggest this behavior occurs in the wild, albeit not species-wide. The use of a tool set in a non-primate implies convergent evolution of advanced tool use. Furthermore, these observations demonstrate how a species without hands can achieve dexterity in a high-precision task. This finding of flexible use and manufacture of tool sets in animals distantly related to humans significantly diversifies the phylogenetic landscape of technology.</p>
