Diagnostic imaging methods have been used in human medicine to identify and examine cadavers to determine the cause of death. In veterinary medicine, the use of these resources is still scarce and little known, and it is necessary to establish the contribution that methods such as ultrasound could provide to the investigation of the cause of death in ...

Contrasting evidence of phylogenetic trophic niche conservatism in mammals worldwide [PDF]
Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC), a pattern of closely related species retaining ancestral niche-related traits over evolutionary time, is well documented for abiotic (Grinellian) dimensions of the ecological niche.

Diel variation of pumas at kill sites is most affected by life history and human activity
Abstract The feeding ecology of apex carnivores is affected by multiple intrinsic (e.g., sex and age) and extrinsic (e.g., prey density, habitat availability, presence of dominant competitors) factors, yet little research has explored how these factors affect the temporal use of resources. We placed video camera traps at puma (Puma concolor) kill sites

Large carnivore attacks on hominins during the Pleistocene: a forensic approach with a Neanderthal example [PDF]
Interaction between hominins and carnivores has been common and constant through human evolution and generated mutual pressures similar to those present in worldwide modern human-carnivore conflicts.

Prey availability and temporal partitioning modulate felid coexistence in Neotropical forests [PDF]
Carnivores have long been used as model organisms to examine mechanisms that allow coexistence among ecologically similar species. Interactions between carnivores, including competition and predation, comprise important processes regulating local ...
