CHEWING LICE (Phthiraptera) FROM CRESTED CARACARA (Caracara plancus, Falconidae) IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL
Science And Animal Health, 2020 This study was carried out to detect chewing lice species occurring on Crested Caracara (Caracara plancus) in Southern Brazil between January 2014 and December 2018. For this aim, the road-kill birds were collected for parasitological studies at the Biology Institute, Department of Microbiology and Parasitology of the Federal University of Pelotas ...

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties of Enrofloxacin in Southern Crested Caracaras (Caracara plancus) [PDF]
Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2013 To determine the dosage of enrofloxacin in southern crested caracaras (Caracara plancus), plasma concentrations of enrofloxacin were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography after intravenous (IV) (5 mg/kg) and intramuscular (IM) (10 mg/kg) administration.

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co-roosting host communities. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

Mapping suitable habitats for globally endangered raptors in Kenya: Integrating climate factors and conservation planning. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Spatial patterns and future projections of raptors in Kenya in the face of climate change. Abstract Raptors face global threats like electrocution, collisions, and habitat fragmentation. Many species remain understudied, and their distribution patterns are unknown.

Mitogenomic and Metabarcoding Resources for the Study and Conservation of Keystone Neotropical Raptors [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe characterized complete mitochondrial genomes for nine keystone Neotropical raptors, including four threatened and five near‐threatened species, providing essential resources for phylogenetic and conservation studies. We also developed metabarcoding primers, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of Neotropical raptors via environmental DNA.

Tiny Patch, Big Value: A Small Dry Forest Patch Supports Wildlife Conservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

Learning and innovation in urban yellow mongooses (Cynictis penicillata)
Ethology, Volume 129, Issue 11, Page 600-611, November 2023., 2023 We presented yellow mongooses, Cynictis penicillata, with problem‐solving puzzle boxes of increasing complexity in three urban locations with differing levels of human contact. The mongooses were able to solve the problem at each stage of complexity, but took the longest during the second and fourth stages of complexity.

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May 2023., 2023 In 1951, 24 animals of both sexes of Chilla or Grey fox from continental Magallanes region, Chile were released on Tierra del Fuego Island, to control a European rabbit irruption detrimental to sheep ranching. No attention has been paid to the temporal course of that introduction, so here we provide a historical account of the presence of those foxes ...

Yellow rail auditory detection during the non‐breeding season
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 3, April 2023., 2023 Yellow rails were recently recorded producing a previously undocumented vocalization in a coastal Texas salt marsh in January 2022. We found that this vocalization can be used to elicit the same vocalization in response during call‐playback surveys, and autonomous recording unit recordings demonstrate that yellow rails will also give this call ...
