The Gene Catalog and Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiome of Big Cats Provide New Insights on Panthera Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Majority of metagenomic studies in the last decade have focused on revealing the gut microbiomes of humans, rodents, and ruminants; however, the gut microbiome and genic information (gene catalog) of large felids such as Panthera species are largely ...

The impact of climate change on the structure of Pleistocene mammoth steppe food webs

open access: yes, 2013
Species interactions shape predator-prey networks, impacting community structure and, potentially, ecological dynamics. It is likely that global climatic perturbations that occur over long periods of time have a significant impact on species interactions

Coming down from the trees: is terrestrial activity in Bornean orangutans natural or disturbance driven? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The orangutan is the world's largest arboreal mammal, and images of the red ape moving through the tropical forest canopy symbolise its typical arboreal behaviour. Records of terrestrial behaviour are scarce and often associated with habitat disturbance.

Investigating Drivers of Tiger Bone Glue Consumption in Vietnam 调查越南虎骨胶消费的驱动因素 Điều Tra Nguyên Nhân Dẫn Đến Tình Trạng Tiêu Thụ Cao Hổ Cốt Tại Việt Nam

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
We found the estimated use of tiger bone glue within the last 12 months to be 6.9%. We found a stated motivation of taking TBG to improve health, and by the suggestion of one's social group. We suggest reducing the acceptability of TBG as medicine and encouraging non‐animal‐based medicinal alternatives.

Individual variation in perceived density of conspecifics and its impacts on the realization of ecological niches

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Animals gather information about their surroundings, including their social environment, using a wide range of sensory modalities. Variation in reception, processing and interpretation of information (cues or signals) can lead to differences in how individuals perceive their local environment. Yet, how individual differences in environmental perception

Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.
