T-lymphocyte-rich thymoma and myasthenia gravis in a Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) [PDF]

, 2014
A 10-year-old captive male Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) presented with acute onset collapse, vomiting and dyspnoea, preceded by a 6-month period of progressive muscle wasting.

Open‐land‐derived agroforestry and effects of abandonment of management of the main crop on ecosystem services and woody plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Tourist sightings improve the precision of camera trap‐derived density estimates using spatial capture‐recapture models

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine tourist‐contributed images with camera trap‐based monitoring data to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population densities using multi‐session spatial capture–recapture models. We show that incorporating tourist observations improves precision and yields an overall density estimate of 7.02 leopards per 100 km2, while ...

An autonomous network of acoustic detectors to map tiger risk by eavesdropping on prey alarm calls

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human‐tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alarm calls as a proxy for tiger risk and provide a risk map to local communities in real‐time.

Factors affecting Asiatic caracal occupancy and activity in an arid landscape; vegetation, prey and predator presence are key

Global Ecology and Conservation
Predator populations persisting in desert landscapes may be especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and changing climates, but many are chronically understudied and at risk of extirpation.

Unsustainable anthropogenic mortality disrupts natal dispersal and promotes inbreeding in leopards

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Anthropogenic mortality of wildlife is typically inferred from measures of the absolute decline in population numbers. However, increasing evidence suggests that indirect demographic effects including changes to the age, sex, and social structure of ...

Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

First insights into the spatio-temporal ecology of sympatric large carnivores in Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal

Oryx
Large carnivores play a crucial role in their native ecosystems, but their populations are rapidly declining across the African continent. West Africa is no exception, with large protected areas often forming the last strongholds for these species ...
