Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

An assessment of African lion Panthera leo sociality via social network analysis: prerelease monitoring for an ex situ reintroduction program [PDF]

, 2017
The wild population of the African lion Panthera leo continues to decline, requiring alternate conservation programs to be considered. One such program is ex situ reintroduction.

Navigating challenges in prosthodontic rehabilitation after long‐term delay following fibula free flap reconstruction with a unique overlay removable prosthesis and large vertical dimension increase

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report highlights the experience of one maxillofacial surgical patient who delayed prosthodontic treatment for 7 years as they saved to self‐fund access to a subsidized prosthodontic service. Without the benefit of a restored opposing dentition for a prolonged period of time, maxillary occlusal plane disruption occurred as a ...

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.

Assessing uncertainty in sighting records: an example of the Barbary lion [PDF]

, 2015
As species become rare and approach extinction, purported sightings can be controversial, especially when scarce management resources are at stake. We consider the probability that each individual sighting of a series is valid.

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Conservation and management prospects of the Persian and Malayan leopards. [PDF]

, 2011
Persian leopard. Being the largest predator of wide distribution in the mountains of Iran, the Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor Pocock 1927) is acknowledged as the "King of the Mountains" by local settlers.

An Adaptive Threshold in Mammalian Neocortical Evolution

, 2013
Expansion of the neocortex is a hallmark of human evolution. However, it remains an open question what adaptive mechanisms facilitated its expansion.

Big Cat Coalitions: A Comparative Analysis of Regional Brain Volumes in Felidae [PDF]

, 2016
Broad-based species comparisons across mammalian orders suggest a number of factors that might influence the evolution of large brains. However, the relationship between these factors and total and regional brain size remains unclear.
