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 ...

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

Analyses of Sweet Receptor Gene (Tas1r2) and Preference for Sweet Stimuli in Species of Carnivora [PDF]
, 2017 The extent to which taste receptor specificity correlates with, or even predicts, diet choice is not known. We recently reported that the insensitivity to sweeteners shown by species of Felidae can be explained by their lacking of a functional Tas1r2 ...

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 ...
