(Public Library of Science, 2007-02-14)Parametric kernel methods currently dominate the literature regarding the construction of animal home ranges (HRs) and utilization distributions (UDs). These methods frequently fail to capture the kinds of hard boundaries ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2023-10-03)There is increasing evidence of compromised welfare for elephants managed in captivity. Should such facilities eventually close, more elephants will need to be rehabilitated and reintegrated into the wild. The goal of ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019-11)Anthropogenic impacts are extensive and affect species at individual and population levels as well as communities. To understand these anthropogenic impacts we have to understand various factors, such as agriculture, and ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2023-11-10)BACKGROUND Halving snakebite morbidity and mortality by 2030 requires countries to develop both prevention and treatment strategies. The paucity of data on the global incidence and severity of snakebite envenoming causes ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-03)South Africa has six species of primates, three of which are bushbabies (family Galagidae). Very little information is available on their parasites due to the lack of longitudinal studies, although Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Dominance is a primary determinant of social dynamics and resource access in social animals. Recent studies show that dominance is also reflected in the gene regulatory profiles of peripheral immune cells. However, the ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-04)The first year of life is critical for large mammals to acquire foraging and predator avoidance skills. Southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) pups wean at approximately three weeks of age and depart on their first ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-04)The sub-Antarctic waters of South Georgia Island (Islas Georgias del Sur, SG/IG) are a regularly visited feeding ground for southern right whales (Eubalaena australis, SRW) in the southwest Atlantic. Satellite telemetry ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-04)No abstract available.
-
(MDPI, 2023-07)Madagascar is home to an extraordinary diversity of endemic mammals hosting several zoonotic pathogens. Although the African origin of Malagasy mammals has been addressed for a number of volant and terrestrial taxa, the ...
-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2022)Agricultural intensification can result in extremely fragmented landscapes with typically only small natural areas remaining. The South African macadamia industry is expanding dramatically, with over 5000 ha planted per ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-10)Recent advances in sequencing technology and phylogenetic methods allow us to solve puzzling taxonomic questions using detailed analyses of genetic diversity of populations and gene flow between them. The genus of ...
-
(Springer, 2023-06-01)Both abiotic and biotic conditions may be important for biodiversity. However, their relative importance may vary among different diversity dimensions as well as across spatial scales. Spiders (Araneae) offer an ecologically ...
-
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2024-07)We describe the seldom observed event of a group of type A killer whale (Orcinus orca) predating on an Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) in austral summer 2019. A pod of 11-13 individuals was observed – and ...
-
(Nature Research, 2023-12-20)The naked mole rat (NMR), Heterocephalus glaber, the longest-living rodent, provides a unique opportunity to explore how evolution has shaped adult stem cell (ASC) activity and tissue function with increasing lifespan. ...
-
(CSIRO Publishing, 2023-01)CONTEXT. Shipping impacts are a major environmental concern that can affect the behaviour and health of marine mammals and fishes. The potential impacts of shipping within marine parks is rarely considered during the ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2024-07)Genetic adaptation is the change of a population toward a phenotype that best fits the present ecological conditions of the environment it inhabits. As environmental conditions change, allele frequencies shift, resulting ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2023)Sperm competition results from postcopulatory continuation of male–male competition for paternity. The level of sperm competition is predicted to be highest in species with greater polyandry and weakest in monogamous ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2023-11-04)The Coyote (Canis latrans) is one of the most studied species in North America with at least 445 papers on its diet alone. While this research has yielded excellent reviews of what coyotes eat, it has been inadequate to ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-07)Gut bacterial communities provide flexibility to hosts during dietary changes. Despite the increasing number of studies exploring the associations between broader dietary guilds of mammalian hosts and their gut bacteria, ...
