Evaluation of medetomidine-tiletamine-zolazepam as a partially reversible field anesthesia combination for mesocarnivores. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Anesthesia timing stages and physiologic variables during field anesthesia with medetomidine-tiletamine-zolazepam (MTZ), partially reversed with atipamezole, were evaluated in 142 free-living individuals from 11 mesocarnivore species, including stone ...

Shedding-weighted network approaches for understanding tuberculosis maintenance in multihost systems using camera traps. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of multihost pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC), requires considering not only host interaction patterns but also variation in infectiousness across species. Network analysis is a useful tool to assess contact structure and disease risk, but it often depends on invasive methods.

Identifying Cryptic Mammals With Non-Invasive Methods: An Effective Molecular Species Identification Tool to Survey Southern African Terrestrial Carnivores. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We evaluated the effectiveness of a mitochondrial mini‐barcode based on the ATP6 gene to identify terrestrial carnivores in southern Africa, both theoretically and through PCR amplification. We provide a curated reference dataset composed of previously published and newly generated sequences, including three species for which no reference sequence was ...

Farmland abandonment and season drive scavenging dynamics in livestock-rewilded landscapes. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Farmland abandonment occurs commonly across European mountain regions, which causes triggering of habitat encroachment through shrub regeneration and natural afforestation. However, its impact on vertebrate scavenger communities and ecological processes, such as the removal of small carcasses remains poorly understood.

Impact of animal socioecology on gut microbial communities: Insights from wild meerkats in the Kalahari. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Our study addresses critical gaps at the nexus of animal and microbial ecologies, adding much‐needed empirical support to recent theoretical frameworks that have conceptualised gut microbiomes as being strongly influenced by animal sociality and group‐living, and bringing benefits that may have strongly (and reciprocally) influenced the evolution of ...

Ecological drivers of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis detection in mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) using IS900 as proxy. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the etiological agent of Johne's disease or paratuberculosis, a chronic infection affecting domestic ruminants worldwide. Despite sporadic reports of MAP occurrence in non-ruminants, information on the
