Trichinella spp. biomass has increased in raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Estonia

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Raccoon dogs and red foxes are well-adapted hosts for Trichinella spp. The aims of this study were to estimate Trichinella infection prevalence and biomass and to investigate which Trichinella species circulated in these indicator hosts in ...

Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

A chromosome-banding study in the Finnish and the Japanese raccoon dog [PDF]

Hereditas, 2008
The nombre fondamental (NF), which is the total number of euchromatic chromosome arms in the female, is the same in the Finnish as in the Japanese raccoon dog, 66. However, the karyotype of the Finnish raccoon dog consists of 5 metacentric and 21 acrocentric autosome pairs whereas that of the Japanese raccoon dog has 13 metacentric and 5 acrocentric ...

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

The first record of raccoon dog ( Nyctereutes procyonoides ) in Turkey

TURKISH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2020
The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) was recorded for the first time in Turkey on May 10, 2019, and June 5, 2019, in the same location after 4668 nights of camera trapping in the forests of the Sarıkamış region and Allahuekber Mountains in eastern Turkey.

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.
