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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

Towards a neural hierarchy of time scales for motor control [PDF]
, 2012 Animals show remarkable rich motion skills which are still far from realizable with robots. Inspired by the neural circuits which generate rhythmic motion patterns in the spinal cord of all vertebrates, one main research direction points towards the use ...
