Heading west: ecology of swift foxes in a novel landscape beyond their range

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The swift fox Vulpes velox is generally associated with the short‐grass prairie ecosystem of the North American Great Plains; a system that has declined by approximately 50% over the last century. Yet, swift fox populations seem to demonstrate regional variation in trends, with some populations declining while others appear stable to increasing.

Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.

Seasonal activity changes in raccoon dogs and influences of environmental factors from autumn to winter

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Raccoon dogs Nyctereutes procyonoides are on the List of National Key Protected Wild Animals as Grade II in China; research on their wild populations is limited despite their conservation significance. In this context, we focused on seasonal activity changes from autumn to winter and their relationship to environmental and mammalian factors.

Fecal corticosterone metabolite levels in two closely related rodent species in a sub‐Mediterranean environment

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Glucocorticoids regulate many physiological functions and play an important role in coping with challenging stimuli. The non‐invasive assessment of glucocorticoids is increasingly used as a tool to evaluate individual and population health status in wild animals.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Eimeria saudiensis From Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx) Held in Captivity in the Sultanate of Oman 阿曼苏丹国圈养阿拉伯羚羊 (Oryx leucoryx) 体内沙特艾美球虫 (Eimeria saudiensis) 的形态学与分子特征

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Eimeria saudiensis represents a genus of apicomplexan parasites capable of inducing coccidiosis in Arabian oryx. Our research concentrated on the morphological and molecular investigation of Eimeria spp. in the captive oryx herd in Oman. The therapeutic and management practices employed at the Mammals Breeding Center were reassessed to diminish ...
