The comparison of gut microbiota between wild and captive Asian badgers (Meles leucurus) under different seasons

Scientific Reports
The gut microbiota plays an important role in the immunology, physiology and growth and development of animals. However, currently, there is a lack of available sequencing data on the gut microbiota of Asian badgers.

Rebreeding of Female Mountain Lions After Litter Mortality

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We documented rapid rebreeding by female mountain lions (Puma concolor) following litter loss, including the shortest known rebreeding interval to date. These observations highlight the importance of infanticide and intraguild competition in shaping female fitness and population dynamics.

Assessment of High Throughput Sequencing Quality of Host DNA Enriched From Faeces: A Case From Captive Tiger

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

No egalitarianism in the Wa hills: relative commensuration in kinship, sacrifice, and war Nul égalitarisme dans les hautes terres Wa : commensuration relative dans la parenté, le sacrifice et la guerre

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue S1, Page 85-103, March 2026.
The autonomy of the United Wa State Army of Myanmar today is said to be based on the egalitarianism of Wa communities in the past. The analysis of commensuration in kinship, sacrifice, and war challenges these portrayals of autonomy and egalitarianism.

Screening and analyzing genes associated with Amur tiger placental development

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2014
The Amur tiger is a unique endangered species in the world, and thus, protection of its genetic resources is extremely important. In this study, an Amur tiger placenta cDNA library was constructed using the SMART cDNA Library Construction kit. A total of 508 colonies were sequenced, in which 205 (76%) genes were annotated and mapped to 74 KEGG pathways,

Scat DNA Applications for Low‐Density Carnivore Survey: Techniques, Efficiency and Future Directions

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed 338 studies encompassing mostly Felidae, Canidae and Mustelidae species throughout the world, confirming scat DNA as a reliable genetic source for many applications. The findings here offer guidance for future studies on low‐density carnivores, helping to design cost‐effective research and improving data quality for conservation efforts ...
