Question

The wildlife in forest is competing with the domestic cattle justify by giving example

Answer 1

How does the overlap in the niche of wild and domestic animals vary in time, and are wild animals affected by the presence of domestic animals? Such questions have received increased focus in wildlife management, as the abundance of wild and domestic animals have increased. Both groups are of high economic importance, but negative interactions may occur due to for example resource competition and disease transmission. In our paper: Weather affects temporal niche partitioning between moose and livestock, we investigated niche relationships among a wild ungulate, the moose, and two free-ranging domestic ungulates, sheep and cattle, which are sharing the same range during summer.

In large parts of south-eastern Norway, moose, sheep and cattle use the same forest ranges during summer, and the droppings in this picture indicate they don’t mind being close. However, our data on habitat use tell a more complicated story.

Using data from GPS-collared individuals and a modification of the ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA), we quantified the width of each species' realised habitat niche and the distances between species' location in the realised habitat niche space. Moose and sheep were closer than moose and cattle, and the niche distances were longer during the twilight hours. However, these relationships were affected by the weather conditions, as niches of wild and domestic animals were closer at higher (during day) or lower temperatures (during night). In contrast, high precipitation was associated with the species niches being longer apart during daytime.

Answer 2

The competitive nature of Animals

• Yes. The wildlife in the forest and the domestic cattle is competing in terms of their survival.
• This is evident in urban areas, where the interaction between the livestock animals (Animals reared for meat and milk) and animals in the forest.
• Since the interaction between the two groups of animals is too close, main source of food (Grassland, trees, shrubs) is a source of contention between them causing an abnormality in the food consumption behavior.
• Factors such as globalization, encroachment and rapid land utilization for governmental projects are cited as reasons for the problem.
