Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Polar bear attacks on humans: Implications of a changing climate

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
Understanding causes of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) attacks on humans is critical to ensuring both human safety and polar bear conservation. Although considerable attention has been focused on understanding black (U. americanus) and grizzly (U.

To release or not to release? A call for caution when considering wildlife reintroductions

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation efforts often focus on flagship species and short‐term measures such as captive breeding and reintroductions, yet these approaches may benefit from being complemented with a broader view of the factors that influence long‐term recovery. Using examples from management programs in the Iberian Peninsula, we highlight the value of considering ...

Histological analysis of incremental markings and crown growth characteristics in mandibular first molars of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes (Canidae, Mammalia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This paper histologically analyzed incremental markings in dental enamel of red fox and grey wolf. Our results demonstrate that previous studies have misidentified these markings, which led to miscalculation of dental growth parameters. Abstract The present study analyzed incremental markings in the enamel of eight mandibular first molars (M1) of red ...
