Ecological and behavioral correlates of variation in seasonal home ranges of wild turkeys
Article Abstract:
Some 11,354 sites of 156 wild turkeys in the Arkansas Ozarks were studied in 1992-1994 to determine the effects of habitat distribution, sex, body mass and age on variation in their seasonal home ranges. For both sexes, it was found that participation in breeding, body mass and age influenced spring and summer range range sizes and range use. Thus, adult wild turkeys, compared with yearlings, had smaller home ranges during the breeding season. During fall and winter, successful females were more liable to use their breeding area than unsuccessful ones.

Quarantine length and survival of translocated European wild rabbits
Article Abstract:
The effects of quarantine lengths of rabbit biochemical parameters immunity induced by vaccination against myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease (RHD), and survival of translocate rabbits that was assessed are discussed. The findings suggested that the release from quarantine of rabbits should be determined by their physical condition and not merely by elapsed time in quarantine

Behavioral and physiological responses of trap-induced stress in European badgers
Article Abstract:
Behavioral and physiological responses of semitame European badgers were examined to restraint in cage traps for short and long capture periods during day and night time. Results supported the hypothesis findings that longer entrapment times, especially during dark hours, were more stressful for the animals than shorter entrapment times during daylight.
