Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and highly active

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
There is much contention over the causes and correlates of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene. A major role for human impact such as hunting has been discussed widely. If correct, the overkill hypothesis explains not only why large mammals in general were highly prone to extinction but suggests that extinction may have been selective ...

An evaluation of techniques used for the capture, immobilization and radio collaring of Saharan striped polecat

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 4, December 2025.
Summary of methods for capturing, immobilizing, and radio collaring Saharan striped polecats in central Tunisia (2019–2022). Spotlighting with a hand net was the only effective capture technique, and ketamine–medetomidine provided adequate handling time. ATS and WMI collars, with flexible antennas and cable‐tie attachments, performed best.
