Ecological effects of a declining red wolf population
Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 396-407, June 2024.Abstract Carnivores, especially wolves (Canis sp.), have profound impacts on their ecosystems, affecting the abundance and behavior of prey and competitors, but this has not been examined in detail for red wolves (C. rufus). We studied a population of red wolves that was reintroduced to eastern North Carolina in 1987 and initially thrived, peaking at ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.We found asexual Panagrolaimid nematodes defy expectations of asexuality, they display a higher nucleotide diversity than that of sexual counterparts. This, accompanied by a lower mutation rate could explain the persistence of this asexual lineage.

Parasites and the conservation of small populations: The case of Baylisascaris procyonis
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2013 Human demands on natural resources result in landscape changes that facilitate the emergence of disease. Most emerging diseases are zoonotic, and some of these pathogens play a role in the decline of vulnerable wildlife species. Baylisascaris procyonis, the common roundworm parasite of raccoons (Procyon lotor), is a well recognized zoonotic infection ...
