Disease Surveillance during the Reintroduction of the Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) in Southwestern Spain

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
The restoration of Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) populations in Extremadura (Southwestern Spain) have been carried out since 2014. One of the measures to ensure the success of this program is to examine the effects that diseases may have on reintroduction.

Genetic signature of the northward expansion of the Egyptian mongooseHerpestes ichneumon(Herpestidae) in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016
In the last three decades, the range of the Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) has increased in the Iberian Peninsula. A panel of microsatellites was used to confront the patterns of genetic diversity of the species with the scenario of its recent northward expansion in its Iberian range.

Afrotropical forest-dwelling mongooses (Mammalia: Herpestidae:Crossarchus) investigated by craniometry and mitochondrial DNA

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2014
On the basis of craniometry, the last systematic revision of cusimanses recognized four species distributed from Guinea (Conakry) to the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Here, we (re)investigated cusimanses including new specimens collected in Benin, in eastern Cameroon (near the Dja River) and in Central African Republic (CAR) where ...

Community perceptions and management of the fleshy‐fruited invasive alien plant Pyracantha angustifolia: Insights from South Africa's Montane grasslands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive alien plants can provide economic or cultural benefits to local communities, influencing perceptions and potentially affecting management decisions. Understanding these perceptions is crucial to avoiding inefficiencies, misunderstandings and conflicts in the management of invasive alien species.

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.

DIY: A Practical Field‐to‐Sequencer Workflow for Metabarcoding the Diet of Terrestrial Carnivore Species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding of faecal samples is a powerful, non‐invasive approach for investigating the feeding ecology of carnivores, revealing prey diversity and unexpected dietary components with greater resolution than traditional methods. However, the approach remains technically demanding, as challenges and potential biases arise at every stage, from

Detection of Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex - a zoonotic parasite from the Small Indian Mongoose Herpestes auropunctatus (Mammalia: Carnivora: Herpestidae) in Jammu & Kashmir, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
The treamatode Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex was identified from the small intestine of the Indian Mongoose and the morphological identification of the parasites was described.  The fluke A.
