| infectious disease survey of gemsbok in new mexico. | exotic wildlife can introduce new diseases or act as reservoirs of endemic diseases. on white sands missile range, new mexico (usa), significant declines in populations of native ungulates generally correspond to increases in range and population density of the exotic gemsbok (oryx gazella gazella), introduced beginning in 1969. we surveyed gemsbok in 2001 for exposure to a variety of diseases potentially important for native ungulates. high seroprevalence was found for malignant catarrhal fever ... | 2003 | 14733271 |
| modern hunting behavior in the early middle paleolithic: faunal remains from misliya cave, mount carmel, israel. | understanding the behavioral adaptations and subsistence strategies of middle paleolithic humans is critical in the debate over the evolution and manifestations of modern human behavior. the study of faunal remains plays a central role in this context. until now, the majority of levantine archaeofaunal evidence was derived from late middle paleolithic sites. the discovery of faunal remains from misliya cave, mount carmel, israel (>200 ka), allowed for detailed taphonomic and zooarchaeological an ... | 2007 | 17669471 |

| individual variation of isotopic niches in grazing and browsing desert ungulates. | ungulates often adjust their diet when food availability varies over time. however, it is poorly understood when and to what extent individuals change their diet and, if they do so, if all individuals of a population occupy distinct or similar dietary niches. in the arid namibian kunene region, we studied temporal variations of individual niches in grazing gemsbok (oryx gazella gazella) and predominantly browsing springbok (antidorcas marsupialis). we used variation in stable c and n isotope rat ... | 2015 | 25953117 |
| the cattle-wolf dilemma: interactions among three protected species. | this paper utilizes economic valuation to offer a new perspective on livestock rancher-predator conflicts. while most studies have considered losses to the species directly involved, i.e., cattle and wolves (canis lupus), we take into account other species that are threatened by efforts to protect livestock. in this case, vultures (gyps fulvus) and gazelles (gazella gazella), both endangered species, are either poisoned (vultures) or suffer from habitat fragmentation (gazelles) in the upper gali ... | 2017 | 27796488 |
| before they are gone - improving gazelle protection using wildlife forensic genetics. | throughout their habitats gazelles (genus gazella) face immediate threats due to anthropogenic effects and natural environmental changes. excessive poaching plays a major role in their populations decline. three unique populations of gazelles currently live in israel: mountain gazelle (gazella gazella), dorcas gazelle (gazella dorcas) and acacia gazelle (gazella arabica acacia). ongoing habitat degradation and constant pressure from illegal hunting has caused a continuous decrease in the last 10 ... | 2016 | 27294679 |
| wild gazelles of the southern levant: genetic profiling defines new conservation priorities. | the mountain gazelle (gazella gazelle), dorcas gazelle (gazella dorcas) and acacia gazelle (gazella arabica acacia) were historically abundant in the southern levant, and more specifically in israel. anthropogenic and natural changes have caused a rapid decline in gazelle populations, raising concerns about their conservation status and future survival. the genetic profile of 111 wild gazelles from israel was determined based on three regions of mitochondrial dna (control region, cytochrome b an ... | 2015 | 25760948 |

| digesta kinetics in gazelles in comparison to other ruminants: evidence for taxon-specific rumen fluid throughput to adjust digesta washing to the natural diet. | digesta flow plays an important role in ruminant digestive physiology. we measured the mean retention time (mrt) of a solute and a particle marker in the gastrointestinal tract (git) and the reticulorumen (rr) of five gazelles and one dikdik species. species-specific differences were independent from body mass (bm) or food intake. comparative evaluations (including up to 31 other ruminant species) indicate that mrt git relate positively to bm, and are less related to feeding type (the percentage ... | 2015 | 25637787 |
| selective brain cooling in arabian oryx (oryx leucoryx): a physiological mechanism for coping with aridity? | selective brain cooling is a thermoregulatory effector proposed to conserve body water and, as such, may help artiodactyls cope with aridity. we measured brain and carotid blood temperature, using implanted data loggers, in five arabian oryx (oryx leucoryx) in the desert of saudi arabia. on average, brain temperature was 0.24±0.05°c lower than carotid blood temperature for four oryx in april. selective brain cooling was enhanced in our arabian oryx compared with another species from the same gen ... | 2012 | 22899527 |
| fecal progesterone metabolites and ovarian activity in cycling and pregnant mountain gazelles (gazella gazella). | fecal reproductive progestagen monitoring in the mountain gazelle (gazella gazella) provided a non-invasive method for tracking reproductive cycling, estimating age of sexual maturity and diagnosing pregnancy in this species of gazelle. fresh fecal samples were collected from eight female mountain gazelle (gazella gazella) for a period of two months. two of the animals were pregnant while the other six were not. using the progestagen profile the luteal phase, interluteal (follicular) phase and e ... | 2011 | 21074833 |
