An Investigation of patterns of mammalian scavenging in relation to vertebrate skeletal remains in a Northwestern European context: forensic applications. [PDF]
, 2013 Mammalian scavenging, disarticulating, scattering and removal of human remains can alter and obscure both soft tissue and skeletal remains which are essential to making interpretations and identifications during forensic investigations.

Recursive use of home ranges and seasonal shifts in foraging behavior by a generalist carnivore
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Coyotes (Canis latrans) colonized the southeastern United States over the last century as large predators, including the red wolf (Canis rufus) and eastern cougar (Puma concolor), were extirpated from the region.

Pathogen avoidance and prey discrimination in ants [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Insect societies have developed sanitary strategies, one of which is the avoidance of infectious food resources as a primary line of defence. Using binary choices, we investigated whether Myrmica rubra ants can identify prey that has been artificially ...

An overview of stranded cetacean scavenging in Atlantic southern Africa since the Earlier Stone Age
Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2022 Along the southern African coastal plain, human occupation is documented since the end of the Early Pleistocene. The archaeological, palaeoenvironemental and ethnographic records suggest that in these arid to semi-arid landscapes where inland resources ...

Behaviour of free ranging wild boar towards their dead fellows: potential implications for the transmission of African swine fever [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The behaviour of free ranging wild boar (Sus scrofa) towards carcasses of their conspecifics potentially infected with African swine fever (ASF) may significantly influence the course of an ASF epidemic. This study aims to better understand the behaviour
