Big Cat Coalitions: A Comparative Analysis of Regional Brain Volumes in Felidae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Broad-based species comparisons across mammalian orders suggest a number of factors that might influence the evolution of large brains. However, the relationship between these factors and total and regional brain size remains unclear.

Features of eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx L.) in Croatia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Ris spada u porodicu mačaka čiji su se članovi najviše specijalizirali od svih mesojedih sisavaca. Ris je mačka koja u mitologiji predstavlja lukavu, tajanstvenu životinju, čuvara šumskih tajni, koji sve vidi bez da bude viđen.

Ecological thresholds and large carnivores conservation: Implications for the Amur tiger and leopard in China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The ecological threshold concept describes how changes in one or more factors at thresholds can result in a large shift in the state of an ecosystem. This concept focuses attention on limiting factors that affect the tolerance of systems or organisms and

Stereotypic route tracing in captive Carnivora is predicted by species-typical home range sizes and hunting styles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In captive conditions (e.g. zoos), some Carnivora species typically show negligible stereotypic behaviour (SB) and reproduce successfully, while others tend to reproduce poorly and be very stereotypic.

The Secret Life of Tidal Marshes and Mangroves: Camera Trapping as a Window Into Wildlife Using North American Coastal Wetlands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Effects of emergency winter supplemental feeding on survival of mule deer

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Ungulates in temperate regions can experience high mortality during severe winters, which poses significant ecological and economic challenges for wildlife managers. To mitigate these effects, emergency winter‐feeding programs are often implemented, although their effectiveness remains uncertain.

Survival of reintroduced fishers among differing sympatric predator and prey assemblages

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
We examined how predator and prey occurrence and relative abundance influenced survival rates in reintroduced fisher (Pekania pennanti) populations in the southern and northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA, and found lower fisher survival in the north than in the south.

Signatures of selection in mammalian clock genes with coding trinucleotide repeats: Implications for studying the genomics of high‐pace adaptation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2017
Climate change is predicted to affect the reproductive ecology of wildlife; however, we have yet to understand if and how species can adapt to the rapid pace of change.

Assessing potential impacts of black bear predation on neonatal mortality in boreal caribou

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
We used simulations to show that even if caribou give birth in areas with the least chance of encountering a black bear, there are so many bears on the landscape that predation risk for caribou calves can still be quite high. Bear densities used in our simulation were typical for the boreal forest.

A lynx natural brain endocast from Ingarano (Southern Italy; Late Pleistocene). Taphonomic, Morphometric and Phylogenetic approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A natural brain endocast from the Late Pleistocene site of Ingarano (Apulia, Southern Italy) has been investigated in detail using CT scanning, image processing techniques and Geometric Morphometrics to obtain information about the taxonomy and ...
