Unravelling responses of carnivore assemblages to conservation and management models in South Africa
, 2021 Attempts to curtail ongoing biodiversity declines hinge on a deep understanding of wildlife responses to conservation efforts. South Africa’s diverse carnivore assemblages and local conservation setting exemplify the schism between community paradigms in

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Human-carnivore conflict and perspectives on carnivore management worldwide
, 2003 Carnivore conservation depends on the sociopolitical landscape as much as the biological landscape. Changing political attitudes and views of nature have shifted the goals of carnivore management from those based on fear and narrow economic interests to ...

Tracing the evolutionary history of the morpho‐anatomy of baculum in primates
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Animal morphology reflects both evolutionary history and present‐day adaptation. Male mammal copulatory structures such as the baculum (penile bone) are ideal for studying these processes because of their complexity and high interspecific variability. In primates, however, research has focused mostly on baculum length.
