Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system
Oikos, EarlyView.Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Intraguild competition is a key force structuring predator communities, with dominant species impacting subordinate species' space use and access to resources. Climate change may intensify or reshape these processes, yet how climate conditions interact with dominance to influence predator space use and resource selection remains poorly understood.

Cutaneous myiasis, hemoplasmosis, and bartonellosis in an apparently healthy domestic cat in Cartagena, Colombia: A case report . [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary SciencesCats may have conditions that could favour trauma prone to infection by dipteran larvae and acquire zoonotic infections such as ectoparasitic infestations and hemotropic microorganisms.

Oikos, EarlyView.Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores becomes extremely difficult in areas where there are large number of attacks on humans. An understanding of the factors that explain the spatio‐temporal context of such attacks would guide policy and management to mitigate conflict, conserve carnivores and assist coexistence.

Belief and the beast: Religion and attitudes towards tigers in Central India
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Human perceptions of wildlife are critical to shaping conservation outcomes, particularly in landscapes where people coexist with large carnivores. Religion, a deeply rooted sociocultural force, remains underexplored in the context of human–wildlife conflict.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Plant hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important evolutionary process, and a deeper understanding of hybridization is necessary for its application to agriculture, conservation, and ecological solutions. Here, we assess correlates of hybridization in the megadiverse and societally important family Asteraceae and how and where hybrids have

Toxocara cati (Nematoda, Ascarididae) in different wild feline species in Brazil: new host records
Biotemas, 2013 This is the first detailed description of Toxocara cati parasitizing felines in South America. Seventeen run over wild felines (Leopardus colocolo, Leopardus geoffroyi, Leopardus tigrinus, and Puma yagouaroundi) were collected from different towns in ...
