Amphibians and reptiles

The Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPNA) site of Klimonas yielded a total of 53 herpetofaunal remains representing at least five taxa: an amphibian anuran (Bufotes viridis) and four reptiles [a terrestrial turtle, very likely a member of the subgenus Testudo (T. (Testudo) sp.

Population dynamics of a desert riverine turtle, Pseudemys gorzugi, at the northern edge of its range

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Estimating the key demographic parameters of animal populations can enhance our understanding of system dynamics and assist in developing and improving conservation decision–support models. The Rio Grande cooter Pseudemys gorzugi is a conservation reliant freshwater turtle native to lower Rio Grande River Basin (USA and Mexico), with limited knowledge ...

Global patterns and gaps in the study of terrestrial birds and mammals' use of freshwater sources: a mapping review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Water availability strongly influences the ecology of terrestrial birds and mammals. It will likely play an increasing role as a limiting factor as climate change and human demand make water availability scarcer. However, we lack a knowledge synthesis describing our current understanding of the use of water sources, particularly for wildlife hydration.

More than fish: diet composition of fishing cats Prionailurus viverrinus in human‐dominated landscape

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The fishing cat Prionailurus viverrinus is a medium‐sized wetland specialist felid threatened primarily by habitat loss, human–wildlife conflict, and road mortality. Limited information is available on their life history in human‐modified environments.

Dietary adaptations along the northern limit of distribution: what does the smooth snake Coronella austriaca eat in Norway? Metabarcoding of stomach content and visual analysis of faeces

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how species survive at their poleward limits of distribution is of interest in species conservation, particularly in light of global warming and predictions of shifting distributions of both predators and prey species. How species adapt to high latitudes and to future climate changes will be impacted both by direct interactions with the ...
