Habitat and Anthropogenic Determinants of Otter Presence in the Karnali River, Western Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDespite increasing human pressures, otters persist along the Western Bend of the Karnali River. Occurrence of otters decreases with higher house density and presence of dogs. The study indicates otters tolerate some general human activity but strongly avoid settlements and dogs, highlighting the need for dog management, reduced settlement pressure, and

The Role of Mustelids in the Transmission of Sarcocystis spp. Using Cattle as Intermediate Hosts
Animals, 2021 There is a lack of research on the role of mustelids in the transmission of various Sarcocystis spp. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that widespread mustelids in Lithuania could be involved in the transmission of Sarcocystis spp.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...
