This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...

We evaluated whether citizen science–derived camera‐trap records can be used to characterize large‐scale activity patterns of a widely distributed mesocarnivore across heterogeneous landscapes. Using 821 independent iNaturalist records, we quantified activity across six major vegetation types in Mexico with kernel density estimation, circular ...

The current study was carried out to determine prevalence of Felis catus gammaherpesvirus 1 (FcaGHV1) in Turkish domestic cats and dogs and to investigate potential risk factors that are associated with the detection of FcaGHV1. FcaGHV1‐specific DNA was detected in 4 (7.4%, 95% confidence interval 0.4–14.4) of the 54 feline blood samples by TaqMan real‐

Using a unique 35‐year dataset, this study shows that domestic livestock do not facilitate wild large herbivores as predicted by the grazing optimization hypothesis. Instead, competition caused avoidance of cattle by elk which intensified under drought, and highlights how climate change influences interactions among domestic and wild large herbivores ...

Individual Identification of Prey in Carnivore Scats
ABSTRACT Noninvasive genetic sampling is widely used in ecology and conservation to identify predators and their diets but recovering individual‐level information from consumed prey remains largely unexplored. We evaluated whether individual prey can be reliably genotyped from carnivore scats and assessed limitations associated with degraded and mixed ...

Misidentification of sex among harvested bobcats
Sex and age data are fundamental vital statistics used to characterize wildlife populations, often integral to models used to assess population responses to harvest or make other management decisions.
