The sounds of love: acoustic repertoire of Andean bear, Tremarctos ornatus (Carnivora: Ursidae), mating in the wild

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad
Understanding animal behavior is crucial for effective mammal conservation efforts; however, limited knowledge exists regarding the behavioral patterns of many species, particularly in wild conditions.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Ursidae Fischer 1817

, 2018
Family URSIDAE Fischer, 1817 The Family Ursidae contains two species of the Genus Ursus in Korea. While Ursus thibetanus occurs throughout Korea, a northern species, U. arctos, has limited occupancy in areas north of Mt. Geumgang, despite a Pleistocene fossil record (12,500 yrs BP) in southern Korea.

Comparative Analysis of Olfactory Receptor Repertoires Sheds Light on the Diet Adaptation of the Bamboo-Eating Giant Panda Based on the Chromosome-Level Genome

Animals, 2023
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is the epitome of a flagship species for wildlife conservation and also an ideal model of adaptive evolution. As an obligate bamboo feeder, the giant panda relies on the olfaction for food recognition.

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Expanding the Ecological Application of Invertebrate‐Derived DNA (iDNA) for Monitoring Terrestrial Mammals Using a Single‐Species Approach

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
A novel single‐species, invertebrate‐derived eDNA (iDNA) method is presented for identifying European Brown Bear presence. Fly‐borne bear DNA remains readily identifiable for 24 h within flies and can be detected when just one fly in 20 has fed on bear scat. The method is effective both in laboratory and field settings. ABSTRACT Successful conservation

Avian influenza overview March–May 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Between 28 February and 4 June 2026, 949 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (186) and wild (763) birds in 30 countries in Europe. The downward trend in the number of detections observed at the end of the previous reporting period continued and is expected to persist throughout the summer ...
