The Rhinoceros Relocation Mystery: Unraveling the Determinants of Habitat Use and Conservation Threats of Translocated Population in Nepal

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Due to the rapid decline of the Rhinoceros unicornis population during the 1960s, the Government of Nepal implemented several conservation measures, including translocation programs to various protected areas within the country. The program’s primary goal was to establish a founder population and lessen the risk of local extinction due to natural ...

Review of hyperdispersal in wildlife translocations

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Species translocation is a common tool to reverse biodiversity loss, but it has a high failure rate. One factor that contributes to failure is postrelease hyperdispersal, which we define as the long‐distance movement of individuals resulting in their failure to contribute to population establishment.

Running, jumping, hunting, and scavenging: Functional analysis of vertebral mobility and backbone properties in carnivorans

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 244, Issue 2, Page 205-231, February 2024.
Intervertebral mobility and backbone properties were studied in 34 species of terrestrial carnivorans. Carnivorans that seize prey with their jaws (canids and hyaenids) are characterized by a significantly elongated neck and increased vertebral mobility in the sagittal and horizontal planes.

Consideration of genetic variation and evolutionary history in future conservation of Indian one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis)

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background The extant members of the Asian rhinos have experienced severe population and range declines since Pleistocene through a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors.

Reassessing the phylogeny of Quaternary Eurasian Rhinocerotidae

Journal of Quaternary Science, 2023
ABSTRACTThe phylogenetic relationships within Eurasian Quaternary rhinoceroses is reassessed for the first time by means of Bayesian analysis. The results show Stephanorhinus as a monophyletic clade, with Pliorhinus as a sister taxon and Coelodonta as their closest relative.

TUFANBEYLİ: NEW LOWER PLIOCENE MAMMAL-YIELDING LOCALITY AND FIRST RECORD OF “MAMMUT” BORSONI FROM TURKEY

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
At the crossroads between Africa, Asia, and Europe, Turkey occupies a prominent position regarding terrestrial mammal interchanges. In stark contrast with a wealth of Late Miocene fossil record, the Early Pliocene interval was virtually undocumented for

Rhinocerotidae from the Upper Miocene deposits of the Western Pannonian Basin (Hungary): implications for migration routes and biogeography

Geologica Carpathica, 2016
Although the rhinoceros remains have high biochronological significance, they are poorly known or scarcely documented in the uppermost Miocene deposits of Europe.

The latest Miocene Rhinocerotidae from Sahabi (Libya)

Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2019
Abstract The Rhinocerotidae material from the latest Miocene of Sahabi (Libya) is here revised in detail in order to clarify its systematic position and the paleobiogeographic implications. The family is represented by four specimens only at Sahabi, a phalanx, a mandible, a second upper molar (M2), and a second upper premolar (P2).

The impact of the late miocene climate change on land mammals: The case study of Capo Vaticano - Monte Poro (Vibo Valentia, Italy)

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali
Late Miocene is characterised by global climatic changes towards cooling and aridification, with a consequent expansion of grasslands and adaptation of mammals to open environments.
