Scat DNA Applications for Low‐Density Carnivore Survey: Techniques, Efficiency and Future Directions

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed 338 studies encompassing mostly Felidae, Canidae and Mustelidae species throughout the world, confirming scat DNA as a reliable genetic source for many applications. The findings here offer guidance for future studies on low‐density carnivores, helping to design cost‐effective research and improving data quality for conservation efforts ...

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) as an Apex Predator: Investigating the Ecological Role of the World's Most Abundant Large Carnivore

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.

Jaguar Density at the Northeastern Limit of Its Distribution in Mexico

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study presents the first estimate of jaguar density in northeastern Mexico using a spatial capture–recapture model with random thinning, which incorporates both identified and unidentified camera trap detections. Conducted over 91 days with 104 cameras, the model yielded a density of 1.29 individuals per 100 km2 in the El Cielo–Sierra de Tamalave ...

Human–Puma Conflict in the Dry Chaco: Species’ Occupancy and Ranchers’ Perception Before and After the Creation of a Protected Area

open access: yesConservation
Although the creation of protected areas helps to protect biodiversity, it does not necessarily contribute to the reduction in some conflicts, such as livestock predation by large carnivores.

Genomic Microsatellites as Evolutionary Chronometers: A Test in Wild Cats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Nuclear microsatellite loci (2- to 5-bp tandem repeats) would seem to be ideal markers for population genetic monitoring because of their abundant polymorphism, wide dispersal in vertebrate genomes, near selective neutrality, and ease of assessment ...
