Where will the dhole survive in 2030? Predicted strongholds in mainland Southeast Asia
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Dhole (Cuon alpinus) is threatened with extinction across its range due to habitat loss and prey depletion. Despite this, no previous study has investigated the distribution and threat of the species at a regional scale.

Influence of prey depletion and human disturbance on tiger occupancy in Nepal
Journal of Zoology, 2013 AbstractTigers are globally endangered and continue to decline due to poaching, prey depletion and habitat loss. In Nepal, tiger populations are fragmented and found mainly in four protected areas (PAs). To establish the use of standard methods, to assess the importance of prey availability and human disturbance on tiger presence and to assess tiger ...

Night shift: expansion of temporal niche use following reductions in predator density. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Predation shapes many fundamental aspects of ecology. Uncertainty remains, however, about whether predators can influence patterns of temporal niche construction at ecologically relevant timescales. Partitioning of time is an important mechanism by which

Assortative Mating By Diet In A Phenotypically Unimodal But Ecologically Variable Population Of Stickleback [PDF]
, 2008 Speciation with gene flow may be driven by a combination of positive assortative mating and disruptive selection, particularly if selection and assortative mating act on the same trait, eliminating recombination between ecotype and mating type ...

Native Prey and Invasive Predator Patterns of Foraging Activity: The Case of the Yellow-Legged Hornet Predation at European Honeybee Hives. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Contrary to native predators, which have co-evolved with their prey, alien predators often benefit from native prey naïveté. Vespa velutina, a honeybee predator originating from Eastern China, was introduced into France just before 2004.

The centrosomal deubiquitylase USP21 regulates Gli1 transcriptional activity and stability [PDF]
, 2016 USP21 is a centrosome-associated deubiquitylase (DUB) that has been implicated in the formation of primary cilia - crucial organelles for the regulation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in vertebrates. Here, we identify KCTD6 - a cullin-3 E3-ligase
