Long‐Term Demography of Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta) in a Lion‐Depleted but Prey‐Rich Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution
Interspecific competition has strongly shaped the evolution of large carnivore guilds. In Africa, the lion (Panthera leo) and spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta, hereafter hyena) exert direct and indirect competitive impacts on each other and on subordinate ...

Hierarchical multi-species modeling of carnivore responses to hunting, habitat and prey in a West African protected area. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global efforts to shield wildlife from anthropogenic impacts, yet their effectiveness at protecting wide-ranging species prone to human conflict--notably mammalian carnivores--is increasingly in question.

Palaeoproteomic Deconvolution of Physical and Genetic Collagen Mixtures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ClassiCOL_v2 uses a novel “peptide patching” framework that treats any collagen sample as a patchwork of peptide sequences derived from phylogenetically related species. This allows the algorithm to simultaneously resolve two previously intractable problems: multi‐species samples and/or database deficiencies.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Long‐term data reveal fitness costs of anthropogenic prey depletion for a subordinate competitor, the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus)

Ecology and Evolution
Within carnivore guilds, dominant competitors (e.g., lions, Panthera leo) are limited primarily by the density of prey, while subordinate competitors (e.g., African wild dogs, Lycaon pictus) have been limited by the density of dominant competitors ...

Molecular Mechanisms Between Canine Parvovirus 2 and Host Interactions: From Viruses to Innate Immune Signaling Pathways

Viruses
Canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2) is a major pathogen causing acute haemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis in dogs. Since the discovery in the late 1970s, the original CPV-2 strain has evolved through VP2 mutations into new subtypes CPV-2a, 2b, and 2c.

Consumption of Carnivores by Wolves: A Worldwide Analysis of Patterns and Drivers

Diversity, 2020
The occurrence of carnivore species in wolf diet has been overlooked and poorly studied despite the potential implications for wolf ecology and wildlife management.
