Novel Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaherpesviruses in Neotropical Carnivores of Brazil. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisThe knowledge regarding infectious agents affecting wildlife is crucial for species’ conservation. We hypothesized that herpesviruses are present in wild Neotropical carnivores. Herein, we used DNA polymerase and glycoprotein B broad‐spectrum PCRs to molecularly survey the presence of herpesviruses in spleen and/or lung samples of 53 wild Neotropical ...

Photographic documentation of melanism in bobcats (Lynx rufus) in the Greater Everglades. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe report the rare observations of melanistic bobcats in their natural environment within the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. We also discuss the factors that could support melanistic phenotypes within this subtropical environment. Abstract We document the presence of bobcats (Lynx rufus) that demonstrate melanism in the Greater Everglades.

The role of melanism in oncillas on the temporal segregation of nocturnal activity [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2014 The occurrence of coat colour polymorphisms in populations may promote the ecological success of species by permitting a wider spectrum of use of different subsets of available resources. We conducted an analysis of temporal segregation by comparing night brightness with nocturnal activity of spotted and melanistic oncillas (Leopardus tigrinus ...

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

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.

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.
