The Inventory of Large Carnivores and Conflict Avoidance Measures from Natura 2000 Cold Someş
Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Agriculture, 2020 The main measures for the protection and conservation of large mammals are: the avoidance of illegal logging and thisings leading to fragmentation and even the disappearance of habitats, rational management of the trophic base represented by wild ...

Characterization of puma–livestock conflicts in rangelands of central Argentina [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Livestock predation is one of the major causes of conflicts between humans and pumas (Puma concolor). Using data from interviews with ranchers and kill-site inspections, we characterized puma–livestock conflicts in Villarino and Patagones counties of ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Management of wolf and lynx conflicts with human interests [PDF]
, 2007 In many areas viable populations of large carnivores are political goals. One of the most important factors in order to achieve viable large carnivore populations is human tolerance for presence of large carnivores.

Assessing the umbrella value of a range-wide conservation network for Jaguars (Panthera onca) [PDF]
, 2016 Umbrella species are employed as conservation short-cuts for the design of reserves or reserve networks. However, empirical data on the effectiveness of umbrellas is equivocal, which has prevented more widespread application of this conservation strategy.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Solving the woolly mammoth conundrum: amino acid 15N-enrichment suggests a distinct forage or habitat [PDF]
, 2015 Understanding woolly mammoth ecology is key to understanding Pleistocene community dynamics and evaluating the roles of human hunting and climate change in late Quaternary megafaunal extinctions. Previous isotopic studies of mammoths’ diet and physiology

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

Normal glucose metabolism in carnivores overlaps with diabetes pathology in non-carnivores [PDF]
, 2013 Carnivores, such as the dolphin and the domestic cat, have numerous adaptations that befit consumption of diets with high protein and fat content, with little carbohydrate content.

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.
