Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Mammals Across a Nationwide Protected Area Network

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Occurrence and phylogenetic analysis of ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ in wild felines from Paraná, Brazil

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
Hemoplasma infections are emerging and wild fauna can represent an important reservoir of these pathogens. However, there are very few epidemiological studies about the occurrence of hemoplasmas in wild cats around the world. The purpose of this study is

Analytical Methods for Chemical and Sensory Characterization of Scent-Markings in Large Wild Mammals: A Review

open access: yesSensors, 2014
In conjoining the disciplines of “ethology” and “chemistry” the field of “Ethochemistry” has been instituted. Ethochemistry is an effective tool in conservation efforts of endangered species and the understanding of behavioral patterns across all species.

Testing the Assumption That Tiger Population Recovery Increases Conflict Across Their Range

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery is widely assumed to increase conflict with people, yet this assumption has rarely been examined using range‐wide evidence. Analysing data from ten tiger range countries between 2010 and 2025, we found no consistent evidence that tiger population recovery is associated with increased conflict incidents.

Identification of hairs of some mammalian prey of large cats in Gir Protected Area, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2012
A system for rapidly identifying hair specimens by its medullary configuration and scale structure was carried out. Cross sections as well as hair imprints and their drawings prepared from microphotographs, taken especially of those species which are the

Performance of point‐of‐care tests for diagnosing feline immunodeficiency virus infection in captive African lions (Panthera leo)

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Point‐of‐care (PoC) antibody (Ab) testing forms an integral component of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) diagnosis in both domestic and non‐domestic felids, with test kits designed for use in domestic cats frequently extrapolated for use in their wild counterparts. The SNAP® FIV/FeLV Combo lateral flow ELISA is commonly used to assign FIV infection

Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

Integrating Indigenous knowledge and modern statistical approaches to model wildlife density based on animal track counts

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In multiuse areas outside formal protection, sustaining both wildlife and people is critical to wildlife conservation and coexistence efforts. Botswana's Kalahari hosts one of sub‐Saharan Africa’s largest unprotected areas supporting free‐ranging wildlife.
