Acompanhamento do crescimento dental em Puma concolor mantido em cativeiro Accompaniment of the dental growth in Puma concolor kept in captivity

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2007
Objetivou-se neste trabalho fazer levantamento sobre a troca de dentição decídua por permanente, notadamente dos dentes caninos e a prevalência de maloclusão em pumas (Puma concolor) manejados nas instituições visitadas no Estado de São Paulo.

Puma (Puma concolor) in the Neighborhood? Records Near Human Settlements and Insights into Human-Carnivore Coexistence in Central Chile

Animals, 2021
The wildland–urban interface lies at the confluence of human-dominated and wild landscapes—creating a number of management and conservation challenges. Wildlife sightings near human settlements have appeared to increase in the last years.

Ixodídeos em animais silvestres na Região do Planalto Serrano, Estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2015
O conhecimento da fauna de ixodídeos, bem como a potencialidade como transmissores de patógenos aos seus hospedeiros e em alguns casos aos humanos, é de grande importância para o estabelecimento de programas de saúde pública e vigilância epidemiológica ...

Toxocara cati (zeder, 1800) em felinos selvagens na região serrana de Santa Catarina, Brasil

Pubvet, 2022
Os animais silvestres hospedam uma ampla gama de parasitas que são agentes de doenças primárias ou oportunistas. O estudo da parasitologia de animais silvestres é essencial, pois esses animais são hospedeiros e reservatórios, influenciando o ecossistema ...

Modeling climate adaptive habitat connectivity for conservation planning in Colombia

Ecography, EarlyView.
To remain effective under global change, conservation decisions must anticipate shifting climates, species responses to climate change and the dispersal pathways needed to track suitable climate. Yet most assessments of ecological connectivity do not consider how the landscape will change, or, if they do, they only consider a single future time point ...

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) survival in southwestern Oregon

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We captured and monitored radio‐collared ringtails over 2 years to estimate monthly and annual survival rates. We found that annual survival rates were much higher within forested landscapes in Oregon than for populations in the southwestern United States.

Dietary patterns of a versatile large carnivore, the puma (Puma concolor)

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Large carnivores play critical roles in terrestrial ecosystems but have suffered dramatic range contractions over the past two centuries. Developing an accurate understanding of large carnivore diets is an important first step towards an improved ...

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Drought intensifies dominant competitor avoidance and risk‐dependent habitat selection in a large carnivore guild

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intraguild competition is a key force structuring predator communities, with dominant species impacting subordinate species' space use and access to resources. Climate change may intensify or reshape these processes, yet how climate conditions interact with dominance to influence predator space use and resource selection remains poorly understood.
