Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...
