Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Habitat Quality and Water Availability Affect Genetic Connectivity of Platypus Across an Urban Landscape

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We developed a set of innovative landscape resistance models to identify how climatic, topographic and vegetation variables influenced gene flow in the iconic Australian platypus across a 300 km2 urbanised landscape. Our research identified topographic wetness, rainfall and vegetation cover as consistently important for maintaining landscape‐scale gene

Urbanization of seed dispersal networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid urban expansion is affecting the composition of wild communities and creating novel ecosystems worldwide. Seed dispersal is key for ecosystem persistence, particularly in fragmented landscapes. However, generalizations regarding the impacts of urbanization are still difficult due to the lack of studies encompassing the urban matrix.

Seasonal and Gender Differences in Presence of Rickettsia felis and Blood meals Provide Additional Evidence of a Vector Role for Mosquitoes

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2019
Rickettsia felis belongs to spotted fever group Rickettsia and is an emerging human pathogen most commonly transmitted by a range of fleas and ticks. While recent evidence has suggested mosquitoes are infected with R.

Comparison of the activity of selamectin, imidacloprid and fipronil for the treatment of cats infested experimentally with Ctenocephalides felis felis and Ctenocephalides felis strongylus

open access: yesVeterinary Parasitology, 2007
Twenty adult, domestic short hair cats were randomly allocated into four groups of five cats and housed in separated cages. Each cat was infested with 25 fleas Ctenocephalides felis felis and 25 Ctenocephalides felis strongylus and 2 days later (day 0) the cats in group 1, 2 and 3 received a spot on application of selamectin, imidacloprid or fipronil ...

Cost‐effective strategies to increase the capture of target species for trap networks in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We trialed two approaches to improve the catch rate of target non‐native species in a trapping network in Aotearoa New Zealand, which was designed to benefit North Island Brown Kiwi (Apteryx mantelli). We found that raising traps 10 cm off the ground and smaller traps both significantly improved species catch composition compared to unraised and larger

Rickettsia felis, West Indies

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To the Editor: A spay–neuter (sterilization) program for feral cats from Basseterre, the capital of the Caribbean Island St. Kitts, found that most (45/58; 66%) cats had antibodies to spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR). The antibodies were detected with Rickettsia rickettsii antigen in a standard microimmunofluorescence assay (1). Titers for 13 (20%
