The Potential for Subordinate Predator Release in Terrestrial Mammalian Carnivore Assemblages
Mammal Review, EarlyView.Results from the literature review showed that the potential for release is not strictly size‐based and could occur between pairs not usually considered ‘apex’ or ‘meso’ There was equal representation of felids and canids as dominant predators, but subordinate predators were more commonly canids. ABSTRACT Mesopredator release occurs when the decline of

Scat DNA Applications for Low‐Density Carnivore Survey: Techniques, Efficiency and Future Directions
Mammal Review, EarlyView.We reviewed 338 studies encompassing mostly Felidae, Canidae and Mustelidae species throughout the world, confirming scat DNA as a reliable genetic source for many applications. The findings here offer guidance for future studies on low‐density carnivores, helping to design cost‐effective research and improving data quality for conservation efforts ...

Late Pleistocene carnivores (Carnivora: Mammalia) from a cave sedimentary deposit in northern Brazil
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2014 The Brazilian Quaternary terrestrial Carnivora are represented by the following families: Canidae, Felidae, Ursidae, Procyonidae Mephitidae and Mustelidae. Their recent evolutionary history in South America is associated with the uplift of the Panamanian

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.

MHC class II DQB diversity in the Japanese black bear, Ursus thibetanus japonicus [PDF]
, 2012 BackgroundThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are one of the most important genetic systems in the vertebrate immune response. The diversity of MHC genes may directly influence the survival of individuals against infectious disease. However,

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 565-578, May 2025.Abstract Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long‐term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extremes. Bones from caves have long been recognised as an excellent source of ancient DNA, yet the potential for DNA preservation in cave sediments ...

Evolutionary history of Carnivora (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria) inferred from mitochondrial genomes.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The order Carnivora, which currently includes 296 species classified into 16 families, is distributed across all continents. The phylogeny and the timing of diversification of members of the order are still a matter of debate.

The influence of skull shape modularity on internal skull structures: a 3D-Pilot study using bears [PDF]
, 2015 In order to capture the phenotypic variation of the internal skull structures, such as the sinuses or the brain, it is necessary to perform CT scans in a large number of specimens, which is difficult and expensive.
