The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Supplementary feeding of reintroduced carnivores is a tool that may increase translocation success and ease predation pressure on prey populations at critical times. In this study, we monitored the activity of native prey, and the activity and diet of a reintroduced predator, the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), around carcass feeding stations in an

Semi-Supervised Recognition of the Diploglossus Millepunctatus Lizard Species using Artificial Vision Algorithms [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Animal biometrics is an important requirement for monitoring and conservation tasks. The classical animal biometrics risk the animals' integrity, are expensive for numerous animals, and depend on expert criterion. The non-invasive biometrics techniques offer alternatives to manage the aforementioned problems.

Relatedness, trait evolution, and climatic niche divergence in mammalian island endemics
Oikos, EarlyView.Island mammals have influenced ecological and evolutionary theory since Darwin, and many of them provide textbook examples of the dramatic morphological evolution that often occurs in island communities. However, patterns of evolution in the climatic niches of island mammals have yet to be fully explored.

Genomic and phenotypic signatures of climate adaptation in an Anolis lizard [PDF]
, 2017 Integrated knowledge on phenotype, physiology and genomic adaptations is required to understand the effects of climate on evolution. The functional genomic basis of organismal adaptation to changes in the abiotic environment, its phenotypic consequences,

Color-assortative mating in a color-polymorphic lacertid lizard
, 2013 Color polymorphisms are common in lizards, which provide an excellent model system to study their evolution and adaptive function. The lacertid genus Podarcis is particularly interesting because it comprises several polymorphic species.

Oikos, EarlyView.Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.
