Geographic variation in the size of mammalian prey taken by White-tailed Kites in the Americas
(Associação Field Ornithologists, 2004-06-01)
I examined the size of small mammal prey taken by White-tailed Kites (Elanus leucurus) in the Americas from data obtained in the literature and unpublished material from southern Brazil. Mean weight of adult small mammal ...

SMALL MAMMAL PREY SELECTION BY TWO OWL SPECIES IN SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL
(RAPTOR RESEARCH FOUNDATION INC, 2008)
A variety of factors influence prey selection by predators. Because Barn Owls (Tyto alba) and Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) differ in size and foraging tactics, we expected differential predation on small mammal prey. ...

Flight initiation distance is differentially sensitive to the costs of staying and leaving food patches in a small-mammal prey
(NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL, 2009)
Native forest replacement by exotic plantations triggers changes in prey selection of mesocarnivores
(Elsevier, 2015)
Replacement of native forests by forest plantations may change the composition and abundance of small
mammals, thus influencing the foraging behavior of mesocarnivores in these human-created habitats. We
assessed how ...
Feeding habits of the maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus (Carnivora: Canidae), in southeast Brazil
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2009)
The feeding habits of the maned wolf were studied in southeast Brazil to understand its response towards changes in the environment and in relation to its prey. By occurrence, miscellaneous fruits, small mammals and wolf`s ...
Presas del nuco (Asio flammeus) en un área de pastizal pampeano de ArgentinaPrey of the Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) in a Pampas grasslands area of Argentina
(Unión de Ornitólogos de Chile, 2014-08)
We describe the prey of the Short-eared Owl in a Pampas grassland area of Argentina on the basis of pellets occasionally collected (N = 10). We found a high proportion of small mammals within samples (80% by number and 97% ...
Taphonomic analysis of small mammal bone remains preyed upon by wildcats (Carnivora: Felidae) from the central Monte Desert (Mendoza, Argentina)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-12)
The present study analysed the taphonomic characteristics of small mammal bone accumulations produced bysmall felids in an area from the central Monte Desert (Mendoza, Argentina). In order to provide criteria to identifythe ...
Flight initiation distance is differentially sensitive to the costs of staying and leaving food patches in a small mammal prey.
(2009)
Escape theory predicts that a prey should flee from an approaching predator at a point in which the cost of staying equals the cost of escape. We manipulated the cost of fleeing upon approaching human predators by providing ...
