Towards a more holistic research approach to plant conservation: the case of rare plants on oceanic islands [PDF]

, 2015
Research dedicated to rare endemic plants is usually focused on one given aspect. However, holistic studies, addressing several key issues, might be more useful, supporting management programs, while unravelling basic knowledge about ecological and ...

Seasonal and daily use of canal culverts by mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 1, March 2025.
Using remote cameras, we evaluated seasonal and daily use of culverts by wildlife along the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal in Arizona, USA. A suite of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates used culverts to cross the CAP canal, and use varied seasonally and daily among different species. Abstract Landscape connectivity is critical to the

Metabarcoding of Fecal Samples to Determine Herbivore Diets: A Case Study of the Endangered Pacific Pocket Mouse.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Understanding the diet of an endangered species illuminates the animal's ecology, habitat requirements, and conservation needs. However, direct observation of diet can be difficult, particularly for small, nocturnal animals such as the Pacific pocket ...

Using retrospective analyses to adaptively manage conservation breeding of an endangered rodent

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The conservation of at‐risk species increasingly relies on ex‐situ breeding programs, whose success hinges on producing offspring. We demonstrate the utility of using retrospective analyses within an adaptive management framework to investigate the relative importance of decisions on the reproductive success of the endangered Pacific pocket mouse.

Las precipitaciones conducen la actividad reproductiva en machos de Microcavia australis en el desierto del Monte. [PDF]

, 2016
Desert areas represent heterogeneous environments where animals must reproduce under extreme conditions, and where a combination of environmental factors may contribute to trigger or inhibit reproduc­tion. Microcavia australis is a caviomorph rodent that

Springhares, flying and flightless scaly‐tailed squirrels (Anomaluromorpha, Rodentia) are the squirrely mouse: comparative anatomy of the masticatory musculature and its implications on the evolution of hystricomorphy in rodents

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 244, Issue 6, Page 900-928, June 2024.
The digital dissection of the masticatory musculature of (a) Anomalurus, (b) Idiurus, (c) Zenkerella, and (d) Pedetes reveals a great degree of diversity in morphology. These taxa present a hystricomorphous condition of the skull that largely differs from those of other rodents with an enlarged foramen and reaffirms the significance of the descriptive ...

Abundance estimates of Gunnison's prairie dogs compared to the number of active burrows

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 1, March 2024.
We investigated the relationship between estimates of abundance and active burrow counts for Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni) in the Aubrey Valley, AZ. We found no relationship between any index or esimate of abundance and active burrow counts. Active burrows poorly indexed abundance or density of prairie dogs. Abstract Reliable estimates of
