  1. Panthers relied heavily on domestic livestock in winter and summer
    Scatological analysis of Indian leopard diet in Aravalli Hills reveals seasonal hunting patterns and increased domestic livestock predation, indicating prey-base depletion in fragmented landscapes.
  2. Trace mineral levels varied by species and time in free-living herbivores
    Long-term study establishing species-specific reference intervals for trace minerals and heavy metals in liver tissue of free-living herbivores at Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve in the.
  3. Forest degradation reduces scavenger diversity but not carrion removal
    Forest degradation alters vertebrate scavenger assemblages in neotropical dry forests, replacing specialized species with generalists like the Sechuran fox, reducing biodiversity while maintaining.
  4. Paiwan views of the clouded leopard challenge extinction as final
    Ethnographic examination of Paiwan ontologies of the Formosan clouded leopard reveals extinction as relational transformation rather than terminal loss, challenging Western conservation frameworks.
  5. Rüppell’s vultures show different movement patterns in southern Spain
    Study tracking critically endangered Rüppell's Vultures establishing in Spain, examining movement patterns, hybridization with Griffon Vultures, and transboundary ecology during breeding season.
  6. Amazonian caimans differ in body-temperature regulation
    Study of three Amazonian caiman species reveals distinct thermoregulation strategies correlated with habitat and size, including vascular heat storage mechanisms.
  7. Cats for rodent control on dairy farms are not yet supported
    Position paper examining insufficient empirical evidence for deploying desexed cats to control rodents on Australian dairy farms, outlining required monitoring and modeling studies.
  8. COM-B model helped frame beaver coexistence communication
