TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed data collected in the Spanish province of Cordoba throughout five years between 1992 and 1998 on the biology and breeding success of the white stork and the influence of rubbish dumps.

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that food availability independently affects both laying date and clutch size and suggest that a progressive deterioration of natural food sources is the most probable reason for a decline in clutch size as the season advances.

TL;DR: A standard methodology based on cleared-plot pellet counts in permanent plots corrected for pellet persistence could be used to monitor rabbit abundance on a large scale.

TL;DR: Although diversionary feeding practices did not have a significant effect on grapevine yield, they significantly reduced rabbit damage, suggesting that food availability had a major influence on the likelihood and extent of rabbit-induced damage to vineyards.

TL;DR: Examining the short- and long-term effects of rainfall and absolute density on hinds in two of the southernmost populations of red deer in Europe concluded that supplemental feeding may partially compensate for negative density-dependent factors during early growth and that supplemented deer hinds may experience reduced selection pressures.
