Selectivity and efficiency of predator control methods: a case study from a Mediterranean hunting ground

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predator control is a widely used management tool worldwide to reduce the impact of opportunistic predatory species, but in some contexts where predators are controlled to reduce negative impacts on game species, there are concerns about the selectivity and efficiency.

Immunoglobulin gene loci structure and diversity of raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides)

BMC Genomics
In this study, we analyzed the loci structure of raccoon dog genes using a comparative genomics approach. We investigated the mechanism of expression diversity and its preference using the Next-generation sequencing.

Winter Track Survey of the Amur Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia 俄罗斯滨海边疆区西南部东北虎 (Panthera tigris altaica) 冬季足迹调查

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In the winter of 2021/2022, a winter track survey revealed 43–46 tigers (without cubs) in 5.4 thousand km2 of suitable habitats in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia. In the same period, a network of camera traps registered 54 adult/subadult tigers here.

Analysis of the Raccoon (Procyon lotor) and Common Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) Spatiotemporal Changes Based on Hunting Bag Data in Hungary

Diversity
Sustainable wildlife management requires reliable data on population, habitat, and the interaction between them. Since 1993, Hungary has maintained the National Game Management Database, which collects data on game populations and hunting bags annually ...

Anecdotes or Ecological Patterns: Symbiotic Foraging Behaviors in Coyotes and Badgers 奇特模式还是生态格局: 郊狼与獾的共生觅食行为

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using a 3‐year, broad‐scale camera‐trap network in western Kansas, we tested whether coyotes and American badgers exhibit spatiotemporal patterns consistent with coordinated hunting. Despite high diel activity overlap, detection‐conditioned co‐detections occurred far less frequently than expected under independence, and short‐term temporal sequencing ...

Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Contrasting Patterns of Raccoon (Procyon lotor) Spatial Population Genomics Throughout a Rabies Management Area in Eastern North America

Evolutionary Applications
Wide‐ranging, generalist species provide both interesting and challenging opportunities for research questions focused on population structure. Their continuous distributions and ability to occupy diverse habitat types can obscure genetic signals of ...

Diet of the raccoon dog, an invasive mesopredator, during the breeding season of declining waterbird populations

Global Ecology and Conservation
Invasive predators are one of the leading causes of global biodiversity loss, threatening local ecosystems through predation and spreading diseases.

Dietary probiotics have different effects on the composition of fecal microbiota in farmed raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and silver fox (Vulpes vulpes fulva)

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background The abuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry imposes a serious threat to both animal health and the environment. As a replacement for antibiotics, probiotic products have been widely used in livestock farming to promote growth of animals ...
