Theriogenology, 2022 This study aimed to evaluate the cryopreservation effects on the semen of oncilla (Leopardus guttulus, n = 5, 15 ejaculates) and ocelot (Leopardus pardalis, n = 5, 17 ejaculates) and compare two extenders (commercial and non-commercial extender). An andrological exam was conducted (testicle measurements and penis evaluation), including semen collection

Mesopredators in forest edges 森林边缘地带的中级捕食者
Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 107-118, September 2023., 2023 A key Asian mesopredator (leopards cats) is positively associated with forest edges and oil palm plantations. Abstract Fragments and edges account for most remaining forest habitats globally. Apex predators and megaherbivores often decline in these degraded habitats while smaller generalist omnivores can persist or thrive in forest edges, especially if

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 The study looks at the competitive dynamics of the red fox, a native mesopredator, and free‐ranging dog, an introduced mesopredator, as well as their interactions with the region's top carnivores, the snow leopard and the Himalayan wolf, in northern India's trans‐Himalayan landscape.

New records of Leopardus tigrinus (Carnivora: Felidae) in the Department of Santander, Colombia
Mammalogy Notes, 2020 Leopardus tigrinus is the smallest native cat species of America. In Colombia, the species has been rarely registered in agricultural landscapes and mostly registered in highlands of natural habitats like mountain forests, cloud forests, and paramos ...

A review of caracal and jungle cat diets across their geographical ranges during 1842–2021
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Co‐occurring carnivore species that are phylogenetically related or of similar size, morphology, and ecological needs often reduce competition by partitioning shared resources through temporal, spatial, and dietary niche segregation via behavioral adaptations.

Conservation detection dogs: A critical review of efficacy and methodology. [PDF]
Ecol EvolConservation detection dogs (CDD) can be effective and applied to possibly limitless conservation scenarios but moving forward researchers must provide more consistent and detailed methodologies so that comparisons can be conducted, results are more easily replicated and progress can be made in standardising CDD work. This review aims to summarise what

Journal of Zoology, Volume 317, Issue 1, Page 43-55, May 2022., 2022 We used camera trap data to investigate whether Cerrado mammals would shift part of their activity towards the night in response to anthropogenic pressure. Our results revealed that 12 out of 14 species investigated did not show a temporal response to pressure.

Developing an embodied gait on a compliant quadrupedal robot [PDF]
, 2015 Incorporating the body dynamics of compliant robots into their controller architectures can drastically reduce the complexity of locomotion control. An extreme version of this embodied control principle was demonstrated in highly compliant tensegrity ...

Retrospective and current trend of wild‐cat trade in Peru
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 Jaguars and ocelots were the most exploited species for their skins in the pre‐CITES period. Currently, illegal trade of wild cats is well below the pre‐CITES period. Abstract Several species of wild cats are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss, persecution or retaliatory killing by humans as a result of real or perceived livestock ...

Natural Selection of Melanism in Costa Rican Jaguar and Oncilla: A Test of Gloger’s Rule and the Temporal Segregation Hypothesis [PDF]
Tropical Conservation Science, 2020 The persistence of coat color polymorphisms—such as the coexistence of melanistic and “wild-type” coat color—is an ongoing evolutionary puzzle. We tested the predictions of Gloger’s rule and the Temporal Segregation hypothesis that propose that melanistic individuals will (a) occur more frequently in closed tropical forest versus open habitat due to ...
