Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Dogs Never Gets Prion Diseases. The Entropic Landscape Analysis of Prion Proteins Answers Why. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Entropic Landscape Analysis was applied to the prion protein sequences of various mammals in order to detect potential sites of variants that would be responsible for the susceptibility of prion disease infection.

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Automating the analysis of public saliency and attitudes toward biodiversity from digital media

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring public attitudes toward wildlife provides crucial insights into human relationships with nature and helps monitor progress toward Global Biodiversity Framework targets. Yet, conducting such assessments at a global scale presents challenges.

Risk-driven behaviour in the African leopard:how is leopard behaviour mediated by lion presence? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Agricultural expansion is restricting many carnivore species to smaller tracts of land, potentially forcing increased levels of overlap between competitors by constraining spatial partitioning.

Efficient Discovery of Ontology Functional Dependencies

open access: yes, 2017
Poor data quality has become a pervasive issue due to the increasing complexity and size of modern datasets. Constraint based data cleaning techniques rely on integrity constraints as a benchmark to identify and correct errors.

Importance of context‐specific community perspectives in human–wildlife coexistence: Evidence from Chitwan National Park, Nepal

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study examines community priorities for human–wildlife coexistence strategies across four administrative sectors of Chitwan National Park, Nepal, revealing marked differences among sectors. Results show that local communities in different sectors have distinct needs and expectations, indicating that uniform approaches are insufficient and that ...

About the origin and environment of Panthera spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810)

open access: yesEarth History and Biodiversity
Current phylogenies focus on the phyletic relationships between sister taxa of species, but none point to an ancestral species that gave rise to Panthera spelaea.
