Assessing Habitat Suitability and Exposure of the Endemic <i>Vasconcellea candicans</i> Under Climate Change and Urban Growth in Lima, Peru. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study integrated ensemble species distribution modelling and urban growth projections to evaluate current and future habitat suitability of V. candicans in the lomas ecosystems surrounding Lima under climate change and urban expansion scenarios. Results identified 2891 km2 of current high‐suitability habitat, with strong scenario‐dependent future ...

Dietary ecology of the extinct cave bear: Evidence of omnivory as inferred from dental microwear textures [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The diet of the extinct European cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, has widely been debated. Diverging from the extant brown bear (Ursus arctos) approximately 1.2 million years ago, the cave bear is one of the most ubiquitous fossil bears occurring in Europe ...

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

Spectacled Bears in Peru [PDF]
Oryx, 1981 Land nationalisation, starting in 1963, brought settlers and cultivation into mountain areas of Peru where hitherto spectacled bears had been disturbed only by occasional hunting. This greatly reduced the numbers of bears, and also habituated those that survived to eating the farm crops and farm animals that replaced their natural foods, thus incurring

Dexmedetomidine-Tiletamine-Zolazepam Followed by Inhalant Anesthesia in Spectacled Bears (Tremarctos ornatus) [PDF]
Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2021 Background: The spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus) is the only bear species inhabiting South America and is classified as vulnerable according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Among the few publications on the use of general anesthesia and advanced monitoring of ursids in veterinary hospital settings, little is ...
