- 法医科学 法医科学 法医科学
- 野生动物生物学 野生动物生物学
背景情况:
- 清理对生态系统健康和营养循环至关重要.
- 的早期食特征还没有很好地定义.
- 对生态和农业应用来说,区分食从掠食至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 识别和描述黑 (Coragyps atratus) 和火 (Cathartes aura) 早期食的语音特征.
- 为了区分正常的掠食行为和这些物种潜在的掠食行为.
- 以更准确的标准为牲畜掠夺补偿计划提供信息.
主要方法:
- 生死的新生小牛被用作在一个空旷的牧场上的尸体.
- 运动触发式摄像头陷量化了清理力度和持续时间.
- 尸体解剖评估了食尸体的模式和的组织选择.
主要成果:
- 更高的数和更长的清理时间减少了剩余的舌头和腹部内脏,并扩大了带伤口.
- 更大的群大小与减少的舌头/内脏,更大的带伤口和增加的生物质消耗有关.

The Fossil Record
25.1K
The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. Moreover, the fossil record only exhibits fossils that have been discovered. Nevertheless, sedimentary rock fossils of long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms dominate the fossil record. These fossils offer valuable information, such as an organism's physical form, behavior, and age. Studying the fossil record helps...
