Fatal disseminated toxoplasmosis in a feline immunodeficiency virus-positive cat receiving oclacitinib for feline atopic skin syndrome. [PDF]
Vet Dermatol, 2022 Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous protozoan, for which felids are the definitive host. Immunocompromised individuals are susceptible to recrudescent toxoplasmosis. This case describes a 6‐year‐old, feline immunodeficiency virus‐positive domestic short hair cat with feline atopic skin syndrome, that developed fatal toxoplasmosis after treatment with ...

Assessing the impact of preventative measures to limit the spread of Toxoplasma gondii in wild carnivores of Madagascar. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Novel multihost pathogens can threaten endangered wildlife species, as well as humans and domestic animals. The zoonotic protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted by members of Felidae and can infect a large number of animal species, including humans.

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 969-977, September 2023., 2023 There is little temporal segregation between the nocturnal activities of jaguars, pumas, and ocelots in Mexico's Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, although pumas were more active closer to dawn. Jaguars had low activity overlap with species likely to be common prey, whereas ocelots had high overlap with their potential prey.

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1058-1068, September 2023., 2023 Jaguar and puma seem to increase predation on endangered primates under certain environmental conditions. Abstract Human pressures have increasingly placed keystone species, such as large cats, under threat. Together with forest loss, prey depletion is one of the main threats to the survival of jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma concolor ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May 2023., 2023 In 1951, 24 animals of both sexes of Chilla or Grey fox from continental Magallanes region, Chile were released on Tierra del Fuego Island, to control a European rabbit irruption detrimental to sheep ranching. No attention has been paid to the temporal course of that introduction, so here we provide a historical account of the presence of those foxes ...

Diverse anthropogenic disturbances shift Amazon forests along a structural spectrum
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 24-32, February 2023., 2023 Amazon forests are being degraded by myriad anthropogenic disturbances, altering ecosystem and climate function. We analyzed the effects of a range of land‐use and climate‐change disturbances on fine‐scale canopy structure using a large database of profiling canopy lidar collected from disturbed and mature Amazon forest plots.

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Pumas Puma concolor as ecological brokers: a review of their biotic relationships
Mammal Review, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 360-376, July 2022., 2022 Pumas Puma concolor are the widest ranging mammal of the Western Hemisphere and one of the world’s largest carnivores. In this review, we aimed to synthesise the evidence on ecological interactions associated with pumas to advance our understanding of their biotic roles in ecosystems across the Americas.
