• Isotope analysis combined with DNA barcoding provide new insights into the dietary niche of khulan in the Mongolian Gobi 

      Šturm, Martina Burnik; Smith, Steve; Ganbaatar, Oyunsaikhan; Buuveibaatar, Bayarbaatar; Balint, Boglarka; Payne, John C.; Voigt, Christian C.; Kaczensky, Petra (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      With increasing livestock numbers, competition and avoidance are increasingly shaping resource availability for wild ungulates. Shifts in the dietary niche of wild ungulates are likely and can be expected to negatively ...
    • Seasonal host and ecological drivers may promote restricted water as a viral vector 

      Dayaram, Anisha; Seeber, Peter A; Courtiol, Alexandre; Soilemetzidou, Sanatana-Eirini; Tsangaras, Kyriakos; Franz, Mathias; McEwen, Gayle; Azab, Walid; Kaczensky, Petra; Melzheimer, Jörg; East, Marion; Ganbaatar, Oyunsaikhan; Walzer, Chris; Osterrieder, Nikolaus; Greenwood, Alex D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In climates with seasonally limited precipitation, terrestrial animals congregate at high densities at scarce water sources. We hypothesize that viruses can exploit the recurrence of these diverse animal congrega- tions ...
