Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

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.

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 ...

Species Determination Within the Felidae Family Using mtDNA Minibarcoding
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Wildlife forensic analysis frequently deals with highly degraded DNA samples, including those from tanned hides, processed products of traditional Chinese medicine, and specimens stored in preservation fluids. These samples present significant challenges for traditional DNA barcoding due to the difficulty of amplifying sufficiently long DNA ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.The implementation of visual deterrents (i.e., Foxlights) proved to be effective in reducing the number of night‐time livestock depredations by both snow leopards and wolves. ABSTRACT The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation.

Twenty‐Year Progress in Landscape Genetics of Tetrapods
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Geographic distribution of tetrapod landscape genetics between 2003 and 2025. ABSTRACT Landscape genetics, an interdisciplinary field integrating population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques, has progressed significantly over two decades, yet systematic reviews of its application to tetrapods remain limited. Here, we review
