The Case of the Missing Green Iguana Predators: Reviews of Ecological Literature Should Go Beyond Google Scholar

open access: yesThe Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 107, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.

Description of a new approach for great auricular and auriculotemporal nerve blocks: A cadaveric study in foxes and dogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Otitis externa is a painful condition that may require surgical intervention in dogs. A balanced analgesia protocol should combine systemic analgesic agents and local anaesthesia techniques.

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns of Plateau Foxes and Their Lagomorph Prey in Baqing County, Tibet

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study suggests pronounced spatiotemporal niche differentiation as a mechanism facilitating two mesocarnivores' coexistence, and enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sympatric coexistence on the Tibetan Plateau. ABSTRACT Predation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal ...

Den‐Site Behavior of Bengal Foxes (Vulpes bengalensis) Reveals Persistent Use, Social Interactions, and Coexistence in Shared Spaces

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We documented fine‐scale denning behavior of the Bengal fox (Vulpes bengalensis) using 12.18 h of camera trap video from a peri‐urban landscape in north‐western Bangladesh. Analyses revealed strong site fidelity, crepuscular activity, and structured behavioral patterns including foraging, grooming, vigilance, and social interactions.

Fossil bears break free from inhibitory cascade constraints at least twice (Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri) caused by dietary adaptations

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 503-516, April 2026.
Bears deviate from the inhibitory cascade model (ICM) during molar size evolution, with two significant deviations linked to changes in diet: Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri. Many bears exhibit a ‘partial ICM’, highlighting the relationship between relative molar size, dietary adaptations and dental development across different species.

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 665-694, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

Lycalopex sechurae (Carnivora: Canidae) [PDF]

open access: yesMammalian Species, 2010
Abstract Lycalopex sechurae (Thomas, 1900) is a small canid commonly called the Sechura fox or Sechuran desert fox. It is distributed in coastal zones from southwestern Ecuador to west-central Peru; ranging in elevation from sea level to at least 1,000 m and possibly 2,000 m. L.

Comparative Trends of Sociality Among Terrestrial Carnivores: A Multivariate Analysis 陆生食肉动物社会性的比较趋势:一项多变量分析

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 10-22, March 2026.
In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

Functional anatomy of the middle and inner ears of the red fox, in comparison to domestic dogs and cats

open access: yes, 2020
Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...
