Comparing king, gentoo, and royal penguin responses to pedestrian visitation
Article Abstract:
Comparison of different types of penguins and determination of inter-species differences in the behavioral responses of seabirds to visitation is done. It is seen that the gentoo penguin appeared to be more sensitive that king or royal penguins, exhibiting altered behavior for five minutes after the stimulus was removed.

Dietary overlap between Przewalski's gazelle and domestic sheep in the Qinghai lake region and implications for rangeland management
Article Abstract:
The fecal samples of the Przewalski's gazelle and domestic Tibetan sheep were analyzed to estimate the botanical composition of the diets. The study found that 63-76% of the Przewalski's gazelle diet consisted of graminiods, composites, legumes, sedges, and Rosaceae while it made up 71-92% of the Tibetan sheep diet.

Coyote abundance, sheep predation, and wild prey correlates illuminate Mediterranean trophic dynamics
Article Abstract:
The Mediterranean trophic dynamics among coyote abundance, sheep predation and wild prey variables in north-coastal California, U.S.A. was tested for and quantified. It was found that wild prey biomass acts as a buffer on sheep predation by coyotes in the community.
