Non-invasive hormonal characterization of the ovarian cycle, pregnancy, and seasonal anestrus of the female addra gazelle (Nanger dama ruficollis)
2017, TheriogenologyCitation Excerpt :Spatial segregation of remaining wild populations increases possibility of inbreeding and concomitant decline in reproductive success [4–6]. Species survival is also threatened by poaching and habitat degradation [2,7,8]; habitat quality is predicted to deteriorate further as the climate continues to change [9–11]. Maintaining sustainable populations of threatened non-domestic species is challenging.
Pretreatment of Addra gazelle (Nanger dama ruficollis) spermatozoa with cholesterol-loaded cyclodextrins improves cryosurvival
2016, CryobiologyCitation Excerpt :Now assumed to be extinct in northern Africa; small populations are limited to fragmented areas within Chad, Niger, and Mali [33]. Adverse impacts to the wild population include habitat degradation and loss through overgrazing by domestic species, agricultural expansion, unregulated hunting and extended drought [25,40,56]. It is estimated that fewer than 2000 Dama gazelle remain worldwide and >75% are managed in ex situ collections [56,58].
Plants included in the diet of Arabian Sand Gazelle (Reem) from Saudi Arabia
2013, Journal of King Saud University - ScienceCitation Excerpt :Differences in diet between the sexes for impala and springbok are attributed to their social systems (Van Rooyen and Skinner 1989; Skinner and Smithers 1990) and male springbok physiology being better able to utilise poorer quality fodder (Davies and Skinner 1986) which is probably similar for reem. Crude protein contents for A. tortilis from Sudan indicate lower values between 4.0% and 5.6% although the moisture content is high (48.6–63.7%) making the selection thereof during the dry period's imperative for the survival of dorcas gazelle (Carlisle and Ghorbial 1968; Grettenberger 1987) and dama gazelle (Nanger dama Pallas 1766) in Niger (Ghobrial 1974; Grettenberger and Newby 1986). A. tortilis is also an important source of browse for dorcas gazelle in Israel during summer (Baharav 1980, 1982).
Dorcas gazelle and livestock use of trees according to size in a hyper-arid landscape
2012, Journal of Arid EnvironmentsCitation Excerpt :However, larger trees provide another food source for gazelles not found on shorter trees such as seed pods, which were only found on A. t. radiana trees with an approximate height of four meters or more (Fig. 1). The low use B. aegyptiaca trees was surprising because this species was the most common at our study site and gazelles are known to feed on B. aegyptiaca (Grettenberger and Newby, 1986; Grettenberger, 1987; Hall, 1992). We do not have any logical explanation as to why Dorcas gazelles used B. aegyptiaca trees less than Acacia trees.
