Food availability and population structure: How do clumped and abundant sources of carrion affect the genetic diversity of the black-backed jackal? [PDF]

, 2016
Carnivores frequently come into conflict with humans in agricultural and livestock- producing areas around the world. Understanding their fidelity and dispersal patterns in response to food availability is therefore important given the effort invested in

Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Linking regional and global functional trait data: insights from mammal communities in a fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Integration of specific metrics can promote the understanding of scavenging dynamics

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Vertebrate scavenging contributes to key ecosystem functions through the cycling of nutrients from carrion. However, the dynamics of scavenging are complex with many unknowns, necessitating the use of multiple metrics to measure the dynamics within ...

Lie $3-$algebra and super-affinization of split-octonions

, 2011
The purpose of this study is to extend the concept of a generalized Lie $3-$ algebra, known to the divisional algebra of the octonions $\mathbb{O}$, to split-octonions $\mathbb{SO}$, which is non-divisional.

[18F] PSMA PET‐CT and [18F] Choline PET‐CT in the Diagnosis of High‐Risk Localized Prostate Cancer: Comparation of Both Tests

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To compare choline PET‐CT and PSMA PET‐CT in a cohort of patients with high‐risk localized prostate cancer, assessing the diagnostic capacity of both tests. whose therapeutic approach could be modified based on the results. Methods An observational study was conducted in 116 patients with high‐risk prostate cancer between January ...

Does carcass decomposition affect soil-dwelling enchytraeids?

Soil Organisms, 2023
Carcass decomposition causes substantial changes in the humidity and chemistry of adjacent soil. Its potential effect on Enchytraeidae (Annelida: Clitellata) has, hitherto, not been studied.
