Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.

Isolation of 39 polymorphic microsatellite loci and the development of a fluorescently labelled marker set for the Eurasian badger [PDF]

, 2003
We have isolated 78 microsatellite loci from the Eurasian badger (Meles meles). Of the 52 loci characterized, 39 were found to be polymorphic. A fluorescently labelled primer set was developed to enable individual-specific 17-locus genotypes to be ...

Awareness of Zoonotic Infections and a Seroprevalence Meta‐Analysis of Brucellosis, Q‐Fever and Toxoplasmosis Among Abattoir Workers

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Workers handling infected animals and carcasses are at risk of zoonotic diseases. This study emphasizes the importance of educating abattoir workers about zoonotic diseases in order to improve their practices, attitudes and understanding, which can reduce exposure risks.

Leopardus braccatus (Carnivora: Felidae) [PDF]

Mammalian 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 ...

Una revisión preliminar del estatus de conocimiento de los félidos argentinos [PDF]

, 2004
En Argentina ocurren 10 especies de félidos silvestres (el 28% del total mundial). A pesar de que el Grupo de Especialistas en Félidos de la UICN ha clasificado como bueno el estado de conservación de los felinos argentinos, esta categorización utilizó ...

Diet of Bengal Tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) in Chitwan National Park, Nepal [PDF]

, 2017
We studied the diet of the Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) in Chitwan National Park, Nepal, by identifying 109 prey items from 85 tiger scats. Tigers in this region fed upon eight different mammal species.

Identification of camera trap images by artificial intelligence and human experts produces similar multi‐species occupancy models

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
The use of a global AI classifier to identify species and reproducible pre‐ and post‐processing decisions makes our approach broadly applicable and particularly beneficial for national and international monitoring programs that collect large amounts of photo data on threatened, at risk, or management sensitive species and wildlife communities.

Atlantic mammal traits: a dataset of morphological traits of mammals in the atlantic forest of south America [PDF]

, 2018
Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works consider mean species-level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species.

Locus‐Specific Convergent Evolution and Interchromosomal Rearrangements Contribute to the Diversification of Amniote Type I Interferons

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Type I interferons (IFNs) play essential roles in antiviral immune responses. The extensive diversification of type I IFNs into various subtypes and duplicated gene copies has posed significant challenges for evolutionary reconstruction. To address this, we developed the type I IFN sequence composition and structure (IFN‐SCOPE) model and gene ...
