Genetic diversity of microsatellite loci in Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus wiedii and Leopardus tigrinus. [PDF]
The microsatellite loci FCA045, FCA077, FCA008, and FCA096 are highly variable molecular markers which were used to determine the genetic diversity in 148 captive Leopardus sp. The PCR-amplified products of microsatellite loci were characterized in ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer.

Contrasting evidence of phylogenetic trophic niche conservatism in mammals worldwide [PDF]
Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC), a pattern of closely related species retaining ancestral niche-related traits over evolutionary time, is well documented for abiotic (Grinellian) dimensions of the ecological niche.

The Potential for Subordinate Predator Release in Terrestrial Mammalian Carnivore Assemblages
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
