Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

A Consistent Estimator of the Evolutionary Rate [PDF]
, 2014 We consider a branching particle system where particles reproduce according to the pure birth Yule process with the birth rate L, conditioned on the observed number of particles to be equal n.

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans
Journal 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.

The Dynamic Proliferation of CanSINEs Mirrors the Complex Evolution of Feliforms [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Repetitive short interspersed elements (SINEs) are retrotransposons ubiquitous in mammalian genomes and are highly informative markers to identify species and phylogenetic associations. Of these, SINEs unique to the order Carnivora (CanSINEs)

Meerkats (Suricata suricatta), a new definitive host of the canid nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 Angiostronglyus vasorum is a cardiopulmonary nematode infecting mainly canids such as dogs (Canis familiaris) and foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Natural infections have also been reported in mustelids and red pandas (Ailurus fulgens fulgens).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...
