Recently developed low-cost Global Positioning System (GPS) data loggers are promising tools for wildlife research because of their affordability low-budget projects and ability to simultaneously track a greater number individuals compared with expensive built-in GPS. However, the reliability these devices must be carefully examined they were not wildlife. This study aimed assess performance accuracy commercially available GPS first time using same methods applied test The effects antenna...
Abstract DNA metabarcoding of faecal samples is being successfully used to study the foraging niche species. We assessed ability two benchtop high-throughput sequencing (HTS) platforms, identify a large taxonomic array food items from domestic cats Felis silvestris catus , including prey and human-related taxa (pet leftovers leaving undetectable solid remains in faeces). Scats captive feeding trial ( n = 41) free-ranging individuals 326) were collected analysed using cyt b mini-barcode...
Accelerometers are becoming ever more important sensors in animal-attached technology, providing data that allow determination of body posture and movement thereby helping elucidate behaviour animals difficult to observe.We sought validate the identification sea turtle behaviours from accelerometer signals by deploying tags on carapace a juvenile loggerhead (Caretta caretta), an adult hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) green (Chelonia mydas) at Aquarium La Rochelle. We recorded tri-axial...
The faeces of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus), and domestic cat, Felis catus can be responsible for spreading eggs Echinococcus multilocularis Leuckart, 1863 oocysts Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) into environment. accidental ingestion these or oocysts, through consumption raw fruits vegetables grown in contact with contaminated soil, lead to alveolar echinococcosis (AE) toxoplasmosis humans. present study provides a quantitative assessment faecal deposition by foxes...
Detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in cat feces is considered indicative the presence T. oocysts. This study aims to demonstrate that high sensitivity qPCR can lead detection absence A immune toxoplasmosis was fed with a mouse experimentally infected gondii. this parasite performed by on passed: (i) day ingested prey; (ii) during three previous days; and (iii) following days. The kinetics results are clearly not linked oocyst shedding result demonstrates detect related bradyzoites from an...
Abstract Bio‐loggers are miniaturized autonomous devices that record quantitative data on the state of free‐ranging animals (e.g. behavior, position and physiology) their natural environment. This is especially relevant for species where direct visual observation difficult or impossible. Today, ongoing technical development allows monitoring numerous parameters in an increasing range over extended periods. However, external attachment might affect various aspects animal performance...
Anthropomorphism is a natural tendency in humans, but it also influenced by many characteristics of the observer (the human) and observed entity (here, animal species). This study asked participants to complete an online questionnaire about three videos showing epimeletic behaviours species. In videos, individual (a sparrow, elephant macaque, respectively) displayed towards inanimate conspecific that suddenly regained consciousness at end footage. A fourth video showed robot dog being kicked...

In this study, we asked participants to answer an online questionnaire about videos showing animal epimeletic behaviours: individual (a sparrow, elephant and a macaque) displayed behaviours towards inanimate conspecific who suddenly got back conscious at the end of footage. A fourth video showed dog-robot kicked by engineer demonstrate its stability. After each video, questions were score degree anthropomorphism participants, from mentophobia (no attribution whatever species) full measure...

Domestic cats (Felis catus), one of the most popular pets, are widespread worldwide. This medium-sized carnivore has well-known negative effects on biodiversity, but there is still a need to better understand approximate causes their predation. Based citizen science project, we assessed role spatiotemporal (i.e., latitude, longitude, and seasons), climatic rainfall), anthropogenic human footprint, HFI), individual sex age) variables number preys returned home by in metropolitan France.
