USE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS BY SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES
Western North American Naturalist, 2007 Although the current range of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) borders large areas of farmland, the ecology of this species rarely has been studied within an agricultural setting. In central California, we examined habitat use, prey availability, and diet of radio-collared kit foxes inhabiting an aqueduct right-of-way (ROW ...

Rapid generation of prion disease models using AAV‐delivered PrP variants in knockout mice
Brain Pathology, EarlyView.We developed a rapid AAV‐based system to generate prion disease models in weeks rather than months. Following systemic AAV9P31 delivery of modified PrP to knockout mice, we achieved brain‐wide expression and successful propagation of both classical (RML) and atypical (GSS‐A117V) prion strains.

Scat DNA Applications for Low‐Density Carnivore Survey: Techniques, Efficiency and Future Directions
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We reviewed 338 studies encompassing mostly Felidae, Canidae and Mustelidae species throughout the world, confirming scat DNA as a reliable genetic source for many applications. The findings here offer guidance for future studies on low‐density carnivores, helping to design cost‐effective research and improving data quality for conservation efforts ...
