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

Coyote (Canis latrans) use of marine resources in coastal California: A new behavior relative to their recent ancestors [PDF]
Coyotes ( Canis latrans) are known to consume marine foods, but the importance and persistence of marine subsidies to coyotes is unknown. Recent access to a marine subsidy, especially if gained following apex predator loss, may facilitate coyote ...

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
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 ...

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