Estimating snow leopard density using fecal DNA in a large landscape in north-central Nepal
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Although abundance estimates have a strong bearing on the conservation status of a species, less than 2% of the global snow leopard distribution range has been sampled systematically, mostly in small survey areas.

Top‐Down and Bottom‐Up Processes Jointly Explain Mesopredator Movement and Foraging Ecology
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.This study integrates top‐down (polar bear habitat selection) and bottom‐up (fish distribution) processes to test how mesopredators (ringed seals) balance risk–reward tradeoffs in habitat selection. Ringed seals reduced their space use and foraging time in response to predation risk, yet accepted higher risk when prey diversity was elevated ...

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 ...

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT A 15‐week‐old Australian Labradoodle puppy was presented to The University of Queensland Small Animal Hospital for bilateral eyelid agenesis/coloboma and associated ocular complications. Enucleation of the left globe and repair of the right eyelid via a lip‐to‐lid transmucosal flap was performed. Given the subsequent development of prolapse of

What factors best explain attitudes to snow leopards in the Nepal Himalayas?
PLoS ONE, 2019 The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a vulnerable wild felid native to mountainous regions of 12 Asian countries. It faces numerous overlapping threats, including killings by herders retaliating against livestock losses, the illegal wildlife trade, loss of

Ghostbusting—Reducing bias due to identification errors in spatial capture‐recapture histories
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionIdentifying individuals is key to estimating population sizes by spatial capture–recapture, but identification errors are sometimes made. The most common identification error is the failure to recognise a previously detected individual, thus creating a ...
