Potencial do uso de amostras fecais de felinos como ferramenta de monitoramento ambiental

open access: yesBiodiversidade Brasileira, 2022
O monitoramento das unidades de conservação (UCs) é fundamental para avaliar se atingem seus objetivos. Felinos são bons indicadores ambientais e suas fezes podem fornecer informações relevantes para o monitoramento de UCs.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2368-2394, September 2026.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Species Determination Within the Felidae Family Using mtDNA Minibarcoding

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildlife forensic analysis frequently deals with highly degraded DNA samples, including those from tanned hides, processed products of traditional Chinese medicine, and specimens stored in preservation fluids. These samples present significant challenges for traditional DNA barcoding due to the difficulty of amplifying sufficiently long DNA ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals biodiversity recovery in tropical forest restoration across multiple landscapes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Forest ecosystems have been degraded globally and restoration efforts aim to reverse loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function decline including carbon storage from the atmosphere. Assessments of restoration success predominantly emphasize increasing carbon stocks rather than species recovery.

Leopardus braccatus (Carnivora: Felidae) [PDF]

open access: yesMammalian Species, 2012
Leopardus braccatus (Cope, 1889) is a small felid—not much larger than a domestic house cat—commonly called the Pantanal cat. No comprehensive surveys have been conducted to determine how many L. braccatus exist in the wild. It is found in humid, warm grasslands and wooded areas of extreme northwestern Argentina, southwestern and south- and north ...

Developmental genetics of color pattern establishment in cats

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Intricate color patterns are a defining aspect of morphological diversity in the Felidae. Here the authors apply morphological and single-cell gene expression analysis to fetal skin of domestic cats to identify when, where, and how, during fetal ...

Occurrence and Risk Factors of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Tigers (Panthera tigris) in Thailand: Influence of Age and Sex

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study investigated Toxoplasma gondii specific antibodies in 135 captive tigers across seven Thai tiger parks using latex agglutination. Results revealed a high overall positivity rate of 42.96%. Ordinal logistic regression analysis demonstrated sex and age were significant risk factors, with females (OR = 20.13) and older tigers (OR = 1.91 ...
