Gastrointestinal and ectoparasites from urban stray dogs in Fortaleza (Brazil): high infection risk for humans? (2010)
Journal Article
Klimpel, S., Heukelbach, J., Pothmann, D., & Rueckert, S. (2010). Gastrointestinal and ectoparasites from urban stray dogs in Fortaleza (Brazil): high infection risk for humans?. Parasitology Research, 107, 713-719. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-010-1926-7

Dogs are important definite or reservoir hosts for zoonotic parasites. However, only few studies on the prevalence of intestinal parasites in urban areas in Brazil are available. We performed a comprehensive study on parasites of stray dogs in a Braz...

Deep Sea Research Part II Topical Studies in Oceanography, 54, 424-436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2.2006.11.019

Previous research has highlighted the importance of minimising hydrodynamic drag from biologging instruments fitted to marine mammals. However, there is a need to investigate other possible impacts of instruments on animals. The aim of this study was...

Pup escorting in the communal breeding banded mongoose: behavior, benefits and maintenance. (2004)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, J. (2004). Pup escorting in the communal breeding banded mongoose: behavior, benefits and maintenance. Behavioral ecology official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology, 15, 952-960. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arh071

In cooperatively breeding species, helpers typically provide food to offspring, and distribute food throughout the brood or litter. However, in the communal breeding banded mongoose (Mungos mungo), some group members escort individual pups during the...

The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose. (2002)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, J., & Otali, E. (2002). The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose. Canadian Journal of Zoology, 80(10), 1795-1802. https://doi.org/10.1139/z02-113

The effects of food availability and distribution on population dynamics have been the subject of numerous experimental studies, but no study has quantified the effects of a concentrated supplementary food supply on groups of a social carnivore. We i... Read More about The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose..

Seasonal differences in the uitilisation of agricultural habitats by small rodents. (2000)
Journal Article
Webb, L., & Velander, K. (2000). Seasonal differences in the uitilisation of agricultural habitats by small rodents. Naturalist, 125, 99-109

The population and community structure of small rodents on arable and set-aside habitats was stided in winter and summer in order to determine seasonal patterns of habitat use.An area of 0.3 ha on each study site was live trapped during each sample s...
