The coastal marshes of the Charente-Maritime (western France) are a major wintering area for wigeon Anas penelope. In these marshes, wigeon feed mainly on grasses, while foraging on Salicornia (a fleshy, succulent halophyte) is uncommon. In order to understand the reason for this under-exploitation, an experimental study was carried out with captive wigeon in autumn 1998 on a Salicornia ramosissima marsh in the Charente-Maritime. Birds were unable to maintain their body weight when feeding on Salicornia. Measurements of food chemical composition and metabolisability, as well as instantaneous intake rate of the birds (g/min) could not explain these weight losses. However, the time budget of wigeon revealed that they spent a maximum of 10–11 h per 24 h... |

A previous study showed that Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis) consumption was negatively correlated with monoterpene content in western redcedar (Thuja plicata). To test whether these monoterpenes were deterrent to Sitka black-tailed deer, we performed feeding choice experiments with four hydrocarbon (sabinene, myrcene, α-pinene, and d + l-limonene) and one oxygenated (α,β-thujone) monoterpene solution at their highest natural concentration in western redcedar foliage. To test whether deer response was species specific, we ran similar experiments on European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and rusa deer (Cervus timorensis russa). In all experiments, monoterpenes were repellent. Solutions with α,β-thujone, the major monoterpene in... |
