High Mammal Diversity and Flagship Species Persist Under Community Conservation in a Forest‐Savannah Transition Zone in Central Cameroon

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Community conservation areas often classified as council forests play an important role in the persistence or maintenance of diverse mammal communities. However, these areas often receive limited conservation attention and resources. The Yoko Council Forest (YCF) is among the key biodiversity hotspot areas found in Cameroon.

Morphological diversity of saber‐tooth upper canines and its functional implications

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesMammal 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

Origin of sociality in mongooses (\kur{Carnivora, Herpestidae})

open access: yes, 2008
The origin, evolutionary polarity and possible causes of sociality in Herpestidae (Carnivora) are not clear. In this study, I compiled data matrix of 48 ontogenetic, reproductive, ecological and behavioural characters of mongooses.
