The impact of sarcoptic mange Sarcoptes scabiei on the British fox Vulpes vulpes population [PDF]
, 2007 1. Disease epizootics can significantly influence host population dynamics and the structure and functioning of ecological communities. Sarcoptic mange Sarcoptes scabiei has dramatically reduced red fox populations Vulpes vulpes in several countries ...

Host Phylogeny and Feeding Habit Jointly Govern Mammalian Gut Microbiota Composition
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Herbivores showed higher alpha diversity than carnivores/omnivores, while omnivores had the highest beta diversity. Host phylogeny influenced gut microbiota more strongly in herbivores/omnivores, with phylogenetic distance correlating to microbiota dissimilarity.

Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. We used data from the Mexican wolf recovery program from 2014‐2021 to evaluate whether diversionary feeding reduced livestock depredations by wolf ...
