The Road to TNR: Examining Trap-Neuter-Return Through the Lens of Our Evolving Ethics
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019 In the 2008 article “A Review of Feral Cat Control,” Robertson explored the trend developing in the management of so-called “feral” cats away from lethal methods toward the non-lethal method of trap-neuter-return (TNR). The review explored various issues

Abstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Understanding the transmission dynamics of rabies among dogs is crucial for designing effective control strategies in endemic regions. In this study, we developed and analyzed two deterministic compartmental models. The SEI model captures the natural progression of rabies in the absence of intervention, while the SEIV model incorporates vaccination ...

Trash Talking: Anthropogenic Resources Facilitate Raccoon Interactions in Urban Environments
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Interactions between conspecifics play a key role in ecological processes, and habitat modification, such as urbanization, can alter the spatial and social behaviors that underpin such interactions. Here, we used high‐resolution GPS data to examine how resource distribution affects raccoon contact in an urban greenspace in Brooklyn, NYC.
