Insights into the spatial ecology of severely injured free‐living felids: Iberian lynx, bobcat, and snow leopard

Ecology and Evolution
Severe musculoskeletal diseases, such as those associated with congenital or traumatic events, that result in missing limbs may compromise the fitness and survival of free‐living felids. Here we report the space use of four amputee individuals from three

Clinical reasoning in feline non‐ambulatory tetraparesis or tetraplegia: Which combination of clinical information is useful?

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory tetraparesis or tetraplegia in cats may constitute a diagnostic challenge for general practitioners. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate if clinical variables from signalment, history, clinical examination and basic ancillary tests are associated with underlying diagnoses in cats with non‐ambulatory tetraparesis ...

Assessing the performance of large language models when used to determine ASA status of cats and dogs and generate anaesthetic protocols

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Large language models (LLMs) are emerging as decision‐support tools in human medicine; however, their evaluation in veterinary anaesthesiology remains limited. Methods We retrospectively analysed 225 anonymised feline and canine cases (American Society of Anaesthesiologists [ASA] classifications 1‒5) from Atatürk University ...

What can be done virtually? A modified Delphi study offering guidance on virtual companion animal physical examinations

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The inability to adopt a hands‐on approach can be viewed as a limitation to provide veterinary care virtually. The objective of this study was to establish guidance to support the remote delivery of a companion animal physical examination by video. Methods A modified approach to the Delphi method was followed.

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.
