open access: yes, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Observations of tear‐drinking by lepidopterans on moose (Alces americanus americanus) in northeastern North America

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

The lectotype for the Asian elephant, Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758 (Mammalia, Proboscidea) and comments on ‘primary, secondary and tertiary syntypes’ and ‘virtual lectotype designation’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Last November a group of colleagues and ourselves designated a lectotype for the Asian elephant, Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758, having used morphology and genetic and proteomic sequencing to confirm that Linnaeus’s syntypes included both Asian and ...

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Dietary Reconstruction of Pliocene–Pleistocene Mammoths and Elephants (Proboscidea) from Northern Greece Based on Dental Mesowear Analysis

open access: yesQuaternary
Dental wear analyses of extinct animals offer key insights into their dietary preferences and in turn contribute substantially to palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, leading to more accurate interpretations about past ecosystems.

Wild Encounters: Analyzing Human–Animal Interactions in British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums Facilities

open access: yesZoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 461-473, September/October 2025.
We investigated the quantity and diversity of animal–visitor interactions in BIAZA‐accredited facilities, finding 740 opportunities for interactions across a range of contexts including walkthroughs and handling. Meet and greets were the most offered and were influenced by the number of individual animals, cost of interaction, and animal popularity ...

Application of commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies for foot-and-mouth disease virus in wild boar and red deer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
For detecting antibodies towards foot and mouth (FMD) virus in sera collected from red deer hinds (Cervus elaphus) and wild boars (Sus scrofa), three commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used.
