Anticoagulant Rodenticides Contribute to a Decline in an Urban Carnivore

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) have been shown to negatively affect carnivores globally and are closely tied to human activity and development. We examined drivers of annual survival in bobcats persisting on a residentially developed barrier island over 16 years.

Weekend Overload: Day‐to‐Day Fluctuations of Outdoor Recreation Affect Wild Mammals' Space‐Use in a Popular Forest Reserve Near Florence, Italy

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

Comparative Efficiency of eDNA, Camera Traps and Scat Surveys to Detect a Semi‐Aquatic Mammal Across Multiple Catchments

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring semi‐aquatic mammals is essential for their conservation, but it is made difficult by their elusive lifestyle and generally low abundance. Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) monitoring has traditionally relied on scat surveys, but eDNA and camera‐trapping are emerging as promising alternatives.

Potential vs. Realized Large Carnivore Density: The Influence of Livestock on Carnivore Carrying Capacity Estimation

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...

Understanding Mammalian Habitat Use With a Multi‐Species, Multi‐Scale Approach: The Jaguar Protection Corridor in Guaviare, Colombia

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...
