Genetic characterization of kit foxes at their northern range extent and monitoring recommendations

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
The kit fox (Vulpes macrotis) appears to be in decline in the northernmost and other peripheral portions of its range, yet its abundance, genetic diversity, and connectivity to core populations are unknown.

Ectoparasite burden influences the denning behavior of a small desert carnivore

Ecosphere, 2019
Quantifying the impacts of parasitism on a host can be arduous and is generally understudied for ectoparasites, with known works being either laboratory‐focused, correlational‐based, or only focusing on a few species and spatial extents.

Assessing the role of dens in the spread, establishment and persistence of sarcoptic mange in an endangered canid

Epidemics, 2019
Sarcoptic mange is a skin disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei that can devastate populations of wild species. S. scabiei can survive off-host and remain infective for specific periods.

Spatiotemporal partitioning between the endangered San Joaquin kit fox and a novel mesocarnivore community in the urban environment as revealed by camera traps

Global Ecology and Conservation
Urbanization has led to the rapid formation of novel biotic communities, which via interspecific interactions, may affect niche partitioning dynamics of native, sensitive species. The endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica; hereafter ‘kit

Consequences of Lack of Parameterization Invariance of Non-informative Bayesian Analysis for Wildlife Management: Survival of San Joaquin Kit Fox and Declines in Amphibian Populations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Computational convenience has led to widespread use of Bayesian inference with vague or flat priors to analyze statistical models in ecology. Vague priors are claimed to be objective and to “let the data speak.” However, statisticians have long disputed ...

Bone Mineral Density After Contemporary Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: A Matched Cross‐Sectional Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) has been reported in survivors of childhood and young adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL); however, data from cohorts treated with contemporary protocols and including matched controls remain limited.

Genetic analyses are more sensitive than morphological inspection at detecting the presence of threatened Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) remains in canid scat and raven pellets

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Subsidization of predator populations increases predation pressure on prey species, which is exacerbated when natural resources are scarce. Estimating the frequency of predation by subsidized predators on vulnerable species, especially low‐density, long ...

Genetic characteristics of Poltavske sriblo rabbits by myostatin and progesterone receptor gene and selection indices

Біологічні студії, 2023
Background. Rabbit breeding is a branch of animal husbandry that produces cheap and high-quality meat products in a short period of time. Productive, maternal, reproductive and technological characteristics determine the economic efficiency of rabbit ...
