Facts from faecesABSTRACT For any frustrated field‐mammalogists seeking observational data on their elusive study animals, dung may represent the most readily‐available and easily‐collected source of information upon which they may fall back in despair. Yet it is surprising how much ecological information may be deduced from an analysis of faecal depositions. This present article re... ...

Home‐range analysis using radio‐tracking data–a review of problems and techniques particularly as applied to the study of mammalsAbstract Ninety‐three papers on home‐range analysis using radio‐tracking data were reviewed; these papers were found in a literature search of 18 of the major journals likely to include such papers, published in the 5‐year period to the end of 1988. The review showed that even 25 years after the first radio‐tracking studies, in the majority of papers there was still... ...

Ecology and behaviour of domestic sheep (Ovis aries): a reviewAbstract Behaviour of sheep is complex and poorly understood. It is only within the past 20 years that a concerted effort has been made to elucidate those aspects of behaviour which have most relevance to sheep raising under open‐range conditions. The present report attempts to summarize and review published work on the behaviour and ecology of sheep... ...

The food of suburban foxes (Vulpes vulpes), with special reference to LondonAbstract The food of foxes in suburban London was examined using stomach contents and den litter analysis. A great diversity of food was taken. Adult foxes killed nearer to the city centre were found to eat significantly fewer earthworms, domestic pets and wild mammals, but more scavenged food items, than foxes killed closer to the suburban fringe. Cubs killed close... ...

The social and reproductive biology of Humpback Whales: an ecological perspectiveAbstract Existing knowledge of the social organization, mating system and reproduction of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae ) is reviewed to assess how our current understanding of this wide‐ranging marine mammal fits into the predictive framework developed from ecological studies of more accessible terrestrial taxa. The small unstabl... ...

Advances in insectivore and rodent systematics due to geometric morphometricsABSTRACT
Morphometrics, the study of the variation and change in form amongst organisms, serves as a basic methodological tool in various fields of biological research, including systematics. Because it includes information about spatial relationships amongst anatomical landmarks, geometric morphometric... ...

Classifying rodent diets for comparative researchAbstract The foods consumed by animals reflect their adaptations and ecological roles, which makes diet an important trait for ecological, evolutionary, and paleobiological research. Rodents are the most species‐rich order of mammals and are also ecologically diverse, consuming a wide range of foods. ...

Dolphin swimming–a reviewAbstract Research into dolphin swimming has historically been guided by false assumptions of ‘effortless’, ‘high‐speed’ swimming. These assumptions have instigated the development of drag‐reduction hypotheses but tests of these hypotheses have generally had little success. The autecological approach has dominated recent efforts and has been more successful. In this ... ...
