Planning and optimizing neutering programs for free‐roaming cat populations: An interactive tool for cost‐effective management in closed systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1421-1436, June 2025.
Our interactive tool enables data‐driven planning of neutering programs, helping stakeholders optimize resource allocation and improve long‐term outcomes. This approach enhances management effectiveness and can be adapted to similar closed systems, offering a scalable solution for balancing ecological and societal concerns.

Furry neighbours: Acceptability of feeding and managing free‐ranging dogs and cats in an urban area

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 373-386, February 2025.
Abstract There is an increasing interest in researching urban invasion. When invasive species establish and spread in urban areas, their management becomes particularly challenging given the influence of public presence and perceptions. Cultural, religious, and moral values play a crucial role in shaping public perceptions toward management strategies ...

Effectiveness of the trap-neuter-return method for free-roaming dog management in an urban protected area: Wildlife cannot wait

Global Ecology and Conservation
Free-roaming dogs (Canis familiaris) are invasive species that pose serious threats to wildlife, and this necessitates active management. In Taiwan, resistance to euthanizing shelter dogs has led to overcrowded shelters, which prompted a shift to trap ...

Environmental Health and Societal Wealth Predict Movement Patterns of an Urban Carnivore

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2025.
Using GPS collar data from coyotes (Canis latrans) in Los Angeles, California, we show that movement models with societal covariates outperform those considering only linear infrastructure and ecological features. Movement metrics and habitat selection differ for coyotes experiencing higher versus lower anthropogenic burden (i.e., pollution ...

TNR and conservation on a university campus: a political ecological perspective [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
How to manage the impact of free-ranging cats on native wildlife is a polarizing issue. Conservation biologists largely support domestic cat euthanasia to mitigate impacts of free-ranging cat predation on small animal populations.

Identifying Zoonotic Parasites in Domiciled and Non‐Domiciled Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) Within an Urban Zone of the Eastern State of Mexico

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 6, November 2024.
Stray dogs, particularly females, act as carriers of various zoonotic parasites, posing a significant risk of infection due to their contact with owned dogs. The high prevalence of parasitic agents and the lack of owner awareness underscore the need for improved education and preventive measures to reduce the public health threat.

Grinding the Souls: Politics of Interspecies Pity and the Labor of Care in a South Korean Animal Shelter

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 298-321, May 2024.
ABSTRACT This essay shows how the labor of interspecies care at Animal Rescue in Action (ARA), an animal shelter in South Korea, invites two divergent interpretations. On the one hand, this labor embodies gendered exploitation by being vulnerable to the co‐optation of the moralizing politics of “interspecies pity.” On the other hand, it becomes a site ...
