Abstract The objectives of this research were to determine how daily and hourly distance traveled, grazing time, and resting time of beef cows are influenced relative to the timing of supplementation. Over two winters, a herd of commercial Angus cows grazed in a 645-ha Montana foothill rangeland pasture for 56 days between December and February each year. At 1300 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all cows were gathered and taken to a central location in the pasture where 3.18 kg∙hd-1 of alfalfa pellets (17% CP) were immediately delivered. Each year, 18 cows were randomly assigned a global positioning system (GPS) collar. Using the GPS collar data, distance traveled, grazing time, and resting time were estimated for each hour and day for each cow. Activity was grouped into the 24-h period pre-supplementation and 24-h period post-supplementation. Cows traveled 1.7 km further and grazed for 0.7 h less per day post-supplementation (P < 0.01). Daily resting time was similar pre- and post-supplementation (P = 0.07). Post-supplementation, cows traveled further in the afternoon and morning and reduced grazing in the afternoon and at night (P < 0.05). Cows rested less in the morning pre-supplementation and in the afternoon post-supplementation (P < 0.03). Results indicate that three times weekly supplementation alters cow activity, though differences are mostly associated with the time surrounding when supplement is delivered.

First Time

A breeding male Gray Wolf, Canis lupus, equipped with a GPS collar was documented going to the den site of another Gray Wolf pack. This trip was coincident with an attack on the den of the other pack and the occurrence of a dead and partially consumed Gray Wolf pup at the same location. We present two possible explanations - interspecific predation and non-parental infanticide - to account for this observation. Because the Gray Wolf with the GPS collar and his mate were first-time breeders and were attempting to establish a territory space of their own, we speculate that, based on the available evidence, this observation most likely represents a case of non-parental infanticide that fits the predictions of the resource competition hypothesis.

Abstract The spider monkey, a fruit specialist and important seed dispersal agent in the Neotropics, is an endangered primate due to habitat loss, hunting and the pet trade. Spider monkeys have been the subject of a few studies in Central and South America, but little is known about the diet and ranging for this primate in southern Mexico. Here we report the results of a six-month long study (October 2010 to March 2011) of the feeding preferences and ranging patterns of the Yucatan spider monkey Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis living in the “Ya´ax´che” reserve by the Caribbean coast in northeast Yucatan peninsula. Focal animal and scan sampling as well as GPS tracking were used to document spider monkey feeding behavior, location of food trees and ranging in the reserve. The spider monkeys used 36 species of plants (94% trees; n = 432) and six non tree morphospecies as a source of food. Six tree species accounted for ≥80% of total feeding time and for 74% of all trees used. Fruits accounted for 59% of total feeding time, followed by leaves (35%), palm piths (5%) and other plant parts (1%). Total range used by the monkeys was estimated at 43% of semievergreen rainforest habitat available (ca 40ha). Range use was not random with segments showing light, moderate and heavy use; the use of different areas of their range varied monthly and was closely linked to the spatial dispersion of the trees used for food.
