Local persistence and extinction of plague in a metapopulation of great gerbil burrows, Kazakhstan
Epidemics, 2012 Speculation on how the bacterium Yersinia pestis re-emerges after years of absence in the Prebalkhash region in Kazakhstan has been ongoing for half a century, but the mechanism is still unclear. One of the theories is that plague persists in its reservoir host (the great gerbil) in so-called hotspots, i.e.

Dietary Response of Black-Backed Jackals (<i>Lupulella mesomelas</i>) to Contrasted Land Use. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examines dietary shifts in black‐backed jackals across different land‐use types using DNA metabarcoding. Results reveal that jackal diets vary significantly by landscape and season, with a strong reliance on sheep in livestock areas, selective feeding on greater kudu on game farms, and a broader, more even prey profile in nature reserves ...
