Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

Carriage of antimicrobial‐resistant E. coli in urban stray cats (Felis catus)
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli is a growing concern in both human and veterinary medicine, driven by the inappropriate use of antimicrobials. Companion animals may act as community reservoirs and sentinels for antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria due to their close contact with humans and other animals.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...
