A random encounter model for wildlife density estimation with vertically oriented camera traps

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The random encounter model for estimating mammal densities from camera‐trap data was modified to accommodate setups with vertically oriented camera traps, which are less sensitive to vandalism and theft. A trial in Bardiya National Park, Nepal, indicated that the modified model produces credible results.

MicroRNAs of Toxocara canis and their predicted functional roles

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2016
Toxocara canis is the causative agent of toxocariasis of humans and other animals. This parasitic nematode (roundworm) has a complex life cycle, in which substantial developmental changes and switches occur.

Outcomes from an intervention study implementing fee‐free culture and susceptibility urine testing in dogs and cats

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Urine culture and susceptibility (C&S) testing is important to confirm the presence of infection and aid in antimicrobial selection to ensure that the most appropriate drug is used. Veterinarians often cite the cost of C&S as a prohibitive factor limiting its uptake.

Proliferative and neoplastic aural pinna masses in a collection of African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei)

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract This case series describes aural lesions occurring in five African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) residing at a single zoological institution in southern California. Age of onset ranged from 3 to 7 years. Lesions occurred as single or multiple masses on one or both ears. A single case also developed a nasal mass.

Looking for dark matter annihilations in dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2004
We calculate the flux of high energy gamma-rays from annihilation of neutralino dark matter in the centre of the Milky Way and the three nearest dwarf spheroidals (Sagittarius, Draco and Canis Major), using realistic models of the dark matter distribution.

Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

Variation in prevalence and intensity of macroparasites in moose and their interactions with winter tick load in eastern Canada

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals are infected with a large diversity and abundance of parasites that can affect their behavior, growth, body condition, and ultimately their survival. Although the adverse effects of parasites and the mechanisms involved in the interactions between a host and its parasites are generally well studied, much less is known about the additive or
