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 ...

Geography of roadkills within the Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot: Poorly known vertebrates are part of the toll

Biotropica, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 820-830, May 2021., 2021
We analyzed wildlife roadkill patterns along a road network between tree protected areas in the Andes of Ecuador. Roadkills included poorly known small and endemic vertebrates, such as caecilians (Gymnophiona) and fossorial snakes (Atractus spp.). Most roadkills occurred in areas where roads crossed pasturelands adjacent to natural habitat.

New record of melanism in Southern Tigrina Leopardus guttulus (Carnivora, Felidae): a recently recognized and threatened species

Revista de Biologia Neotropical, 2021
Melanism can represent examples of adaptive evolution such as camouflage and thermoregulation, which can determine the explored habitat and the periods of greatest activity of felines with this phenotype. Despite being considered relatively common, cases

Conservation detection dogs: A critical review of efficacy and methodology. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Conservation 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

Occurrence of Typical Domestic Animal Viruses in Wild Carnivorans: An Emerging Threat to the Conservation of Endangered Species. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Wild species are susceptible to several typical domestic animal pathogens, and the increasingly close contact between these groups is a predictive factor for disease exposure. Some viruses are important and old‐known, and others are emerging or reemerging for domestic carnivorans and have been identified as threats to the conservation of wild mammals ...

Serologic Evidence of Nonfatal Rabies Exposure in a Free-ranging Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) in Cotapata National Park, Bolivia [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2004
A clinically healthy free-ranging oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) was live-trapped in Boliva in 2000. Based on serology, we concluded that this animal was exposed to feline panleukopenia virus, Toxoplasma gondii, and rabies virus. The rabies virus-neutralizing antibody titer (>70 IU/ml) in this oncilla was unusual for an asymptomatic animal exposed to ...
