A review of caracal and jungle cat diets across their geographical ranges during 1842–2021

open access: yesEcology 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.

Limited temporal response of Cerrado mammals to anthropogenic pressure in areas under distinct levels of protection

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesConservation 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

open access: yesBiotropica, 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

open access: yesRevista 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]

open access: yesEcol 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]

open access: yesTransbound 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 ...

Análisis de conectividad del paisaje para tres especies de mesodepredadores altoandinos como herramienta para su conservación.

open access: yes, 2021
The potential distribution of the cusumbo, fox and oncilla in the northern sector of the Sabana de Bogotá, region of Colombia that presents a high transformation due to anthropogenic activities, was evaluated, finding an area of 108749.88 ha ...
