Host-parasite relationship in urban environments: A network analysis of haemoparasite infections in Nasua nasua Linnaeus (South American coati). [PDF]
Urban environments alter host–parasite dynamics, as seen in Nasua nasua, where haemotropic Mycoplasma plays a key role in parasite spread through frequent social interactions. Network analysis revealed low modularity in interactions between N. nasua and tick‐borne haemoparasites, with functional roles unaffected by biotic factors, tick infestation or ...

Ecotone Might Provide Key Refugium for Sky Island Mammals in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. [PDF]
Sky islands are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world but face a disproportionately high threat from climate change. We examined the spruce‐fir–northern hardwood ecotone as a possible refugium for mammals in the Southern Appalachian red spruce (Picea rubens)–Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) sky islands.

High Elevation Occurrences of Jaguars (<i>Panthera onca</i>, Linnaeus 1758) (Mammalia, Felidae) in Northwestern Mexico, With a Record of Collaborative Interactions. [PDF]
Jaguars in the northern end of their distribution have recently become the center of conservation efforts; however, the State of Chihuahua has been underrepresented in monitoring projects. We present five new records of jaguars in high altitudes as well as the first evidence of two jaguars exhibiting cooperative behavior in Mexico.
