Dystocia and Cesarean Section in a Lioness (Panthera leo) [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery
A four-year-old pregnant African lioness with dystocia was referred to the university teaching hospital. History-taking revealed the parturition had started four hours ago, but the cubs couldn't come out due to incomplete dilation of the cervix.

How did spotted hyenas respond to decreased prey availability in their clan territories over the last decades?

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Climate change can alter predator–prey dynamics by influencing the distribution and movements of migratory prey. Despite increasing research on predator–prey mismatches, how predators respond to changes in prey availability caused by climate change remains largely unknown in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly for behaviorally flexible ...

Piometra em uma leoa (Panthera leo): relato de caso

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2015
A piometra é uma infecção aguda ou crônica do útero que ocorre frequentemente em cadelas não castradas, podendo também ocorrer em gatas domésticas e selvagens, sendo poucos os estudos relacionados à piometra em grandes felídeos.

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Drought intensifies dominant competitor avoidance and risk‐dependent habitat selection in a large carnivore guild

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Intraguild competition is a key force structuring predator communities, with dominant species impacting subordinate species' space use and access to resources. Climate change may intensify or reshape these processes, yet how climate conditions interact with dominance to influence predator space use and resource selection remains poorly understood.

Misperceptions of charismatic species' conservation status: Zoo visits and virtual exposure shape perceptions of extinction risk

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3648-3662, October 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating globally, yet species are not equally affected, and public perceptions of extinction risk often diverge from scientific assessments. Understanding what shapes public perceptions is critical for effective conservation communication, particularly in zoos, where many people encounter exotic and endangered ...

MitoNumt: A Workflow for Recovering Mitochondrial Genomes From Long‐Read Data and Detecting NUMT Contamination in Mitochondrial Genome Assemblies

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (NUMTs) are genomic DNA fragments that originate from historical insertions of mitochondrial DNA sequences into the nuclear genome. During mitochondrial genome (mtgenome) assembly from short‐read genome sequencing data, NUMT fragments may be misidentified and incorporated into mtgenome assemblies, leading to ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 409-431, October 2026.
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.
