Morphological diversity of saber‐tooth upper canines and its functional implications
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3007-3021, November 2025.Abstract Elongated upper canine teeth, commonly known as saber‐teeth, have evolved three times within the sub‐order Feliformia. The species that wielded them flourished throughout the Cenozoic and have historically been separated into two morphological groups: the dirk‐tooths with longer, flatter canines, and the scimitar‐tooths with shorter, serrated ...

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Hunters' preferences for wildlife conflict management: The Egyptian mongoose expansion in Spain
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.Hunters exhibited spatial differences regarding preferences for managing Egyptian mongoose in Spain. In a region where mongoose recently expanded, respondents advocated for prevention strategies to contain species distribution. In regions where the mongoose has been more widespread since long ago, hunters favored abundance reduction.

The Potential for Subordinate Predator Release in Terrestrial Mammalian Carnivore Assemblages
Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 4, October 2025.Results from the literature review showed that the potential for release is not strictly size‐based and could occur between pairs not usually considered ‘apex’ or ‘meso’ There was equal representation of felids and canids as dominant predators, but subordinate predators were more commonly canids. ABSTRACT Mesopredator release occurs when the decline of

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease, 2016 Abstract Objective To evaluate the rattus biological control program in Iranian Persian Gulf Island, Abu-Musa. Methods This study was conducted on the Iranian island of Abu-Musa during April 2012 to March 2013. The rattus trapping was done using commercial live and baited rat trap, in different parts of the island. Also the island of Qeshm, with

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1120-1139, August 2025.ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.Camera trapping is frequently used to study small carnivores but can result in limited detection rates for small, fast moving species. We tested the Mostela, a recently developed camera trapping method, for monitoring small carnivores in the Garden Route, South Africa.
