Dear colleagues,

Biology Thursday seminar continues in zoom (link below) on 12th Feb, 12:15 with Astrid Olejarz (Department of Game Management and Wildlife Biology, Czech University of Life Sciences) on

“Supplementary feeding – How much does it affect the space use of terrestrial mammals?”

It is believed that supplementary feeding modifies the spatial behaviour of wildlife. We analysed changes in home range size due to supplementary feeding in 23 species of terrestrial mammals using a meta-analysis of 28 studies. We found no consistent effect of supplementary feeding on changes in home range size. Our results suggest that multiple drivers and complex mechanisms of home range behaviour can make it insensitive to manipulation with supplementary feeding. The small number of available studies stands in contrast with the ubiquity and magnitude of supplementary feeding worldwide, highlighting a knowledge gap.
