Understanding the seasonal dietary patterns of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) for conservation implications in the Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary, Western Himalayas
The findings underscore the adaptability of golden jackals to diverse food resources in a seasonal environment. This study provides foundational insights into the dietary ecology of jackal crucial for its conservation and management strategies in the ecologically fragile ecosystem. The finding gives a hint at the role jackals can play in regulating rodent populations and contributing to environmental cleanliness by scavenging.
