Wildlife Roadkill in Chitwan, Nepal: Identifying Affected Species, Potential Drivers and Hotspots

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
A total of 618 cases involving 36 species of wild vertebrates were reported on sections of National Highways H01 and H05. Comparatively, species richness in road kills was higher on highway H01 (n = 343) than on H05 (n = 275). The road sections that cross between forests, forest edges, and residential areas consistently increase the number of ...

Seasonal and Habitat-Related Diets of Sloth Bears in Nepal [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 1997
Most bears are opportunistic omnivores; their diets consist of fruits, other vegetative material, and in lesser amounts, mammals, fishes, and insects. Sloth bears ( Melursus ursinas ) are the only species of ursid specifically adapted to feed on insects, especially termites and ants, although they also feed on fruits when available. We studied diets of

Morphological and Imaging Characterization of the Eye and Adnexa of the Lesser Anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla)

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) is a species vulnerable to environmental disturbances, largely due to increasing overlap between its natural habitat and anthropogenically modified landscapes. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the eye and orbital structures, supported by imaging and histological analyses, is essential to improve ...
