Wild canids and felids differ in their reliance on reused travel routeways. [PDF]
Diverse factors, including environmental features and cognitive processes, can drive animals’ movements and space use, with far-reaching implications. For example, repeated use of individual-level travel routeways (directionally constrained but imperfectly aligned routes), which results in spatial concentration of activity, can shape encounter-based ...

Brain gyrification in wild and domestic canids: has domestication changed the gyrification index in domestic dogs? [PDF]
Over the last 15 years, research on canid cognition has revealed that domestic dogs possess a surprising array of complex sociocognitive skills pointing to the possibility that the domestication process might have uniquely altered their brains; however ...

Wild canids, domestic dogs and their pathogens in Southeast Brazil: disease threats for canid conservation [PDF]
Wild canids are under many pressures, including habitat loss, fragmentation and disease. The current lack of information on the status of wildlife health may hamper conservation efforts in Brazil. In this paper, we examined the prevalence of canine pathogens in 21 free-ranging wild canids, comprising 12 Cerdocyon thous (crab-eating fox), 7 Chrysocyon ...

Linkage Disequilibrium and Demographic History of Wild and Domestic Canids [PDF]
Abstract Assessing the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in natural populations of a nonmodel species has been difficult due to the lack of available genomic markers. However, with advances in genotyping and genome sequencing, genomic characterization of natural populations has become feasible.

Epidemiology of toxoplasmosis in felids and canids in Brazil: A brief One Health overview [PDF]
: Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the obligate intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, which infects animals and humans worldwide. Felids are definitive hosts that eliminate oocysts, contaminating the environment, food, and water.

Antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in Captive Neotropical and Exotic Wild Canids and Felids [PDF]
This study was designed to detect antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in wild captive carnivores maintained in Brazilian zoos. Blood samples were collected from 142 Brazilian wild felids and 19 exotic felids in zoos, and 3 European ...
