Knowledge graph centered on focal animal sampling (Cervidae) with 39 nodes and 129 connections. Top connected: elevational gradients, antipredator behavior, space use, foraging ecology, herbivory.

Description

Controlled experiment using feeding stations paired with predator scent cues to test antipredator behavioral responses. Individual feeding times are recorded to quantify vigilance behavior in response to predator odors.

Typical Equipment

  • Purina Mills feed blocks
  • Petri dishes
  • Terra-sorb hydrogel
  • coyote urine
  • stopwatch

Output Measurements

  • feeding duration
  • vigilance behavior
