Temporal partitioning in large carnivores have previously been found to be one of the main factors enabling co-existence. While activity patterns investigated separately at artificial waterholes and e.g ., game trails, simultaneous comparative analyses trails not attempted. In this study, camera trap data from Maremani Nature Reserve was used investigate whether temporal existed a carnivore guild four species (spotted hyena, leopard, brown hyena African wild dog). Specifically, we on roads...
Abstract Understanding carnivores’ diet is key to understanding their adaptability in a rapidly changing world. However, studying of large carnivores difficult due elusive nature. In this study, we performed DNA metabarcoding analyses 82 putative leopard scats collected from two distinct, but connected, habitat types (rainforest and grassland) the Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania. Two mitochondrial markers were used identify predator prey. Metabarcoding confirmed that 60 (73%) originated...
Abstract Terrestrial animals feed on fruit dropped by arboreal frugivores in tropical forests around the world, but it remains unknown whether resulting spatial associations of these are coincidental or intentionally maintained. On Barro Colorado Island, Panama, we used a combination acoustic playback experiments, remote camera monitoring, and GPS tracking to quantify frequency such interactions, determine who initiates maintains associations, test terrestrial adopt strategy eavesdropping...
The 1988 and 2002 phocine distemper virus (PDV) outbreaks in European harbour seals Phoca vitulina are among the largest mass mortality events recorded marine mammals. Despite its large impact on seal population numbers, 3 decades of studies, many questions regarding spread temporal origin PDV remain unanswered. Here, we sequenced analysed 7123 bp genome, including coding non-coding regions entire P, M, F H genes tissues from 44 to shed new light 2002. phylogenetic analyses trace strain...
Abstract Stoat ( Mustela erminea ) and weasel M. nivalis) are hard to monitor as they elusive of nature leave few identifying marks in their surroundings. both fully protected Denmark thought be widely distributed throughout the country. Despite this stoat were listed on Danish Red List Near Threatened 2019, densities population trends unknown. Using a modified novel camera trapping device, Double‐Mostela, wooden box comprising tracking tunnel two traps, we attempted obtain density estimates...
Abstract Human disturbance has the potential to alter competitive interactions, favoring species better able adapt areas used by humans. One such is spotted hyena ( Crocuta crocuta ), which been successful in human‐dominated throughout Africa. In addition, hyenas are frequently kleptoparasiting prey brought down other carnivore (e.g., leopards [ Panthera pardus ]). Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania, leopard density declines sharply close human settlements, and their only competitors. Using...
Animal movement along repeatedly used, “habitual” routes could emerge from a variety of cognitive mechanisms, as well in response to diverse set environmental features. Because the high conservation value identifying wildlife corridors, there has been extensive work focusing on factors that contribute emergence habitual between protected habitats. In parallel, significant focused disentangling mechanisms underlying animal route use, such patterns are fundamental interest study decision...
The extensive Mongolian grasslands hosts a high variety of micro-habitats which wildlife uses as corridors that enable species to expand their range. Between May 2017 and March 2018, we conducted an intensive survey in the Mongolian-Manchurian Grassland Ecoregion using camera trapping, field transects, live trapping opportunistic observations, mountain outcrops, grass steppe sand dune habitats across seasons. Our aim was compile first satisfactory inventory mammals based on scientific...

Wildlife tracking devices are key in obtaining detailed insights on movement, animal migration, natal dispersal, home-ranges, resource use and group dynamics of free-roaming animals. Despite a wide such devices, for entire lifetimes is still considerable challenge most animals, mainly due to technological limitations. Deploying battery powered wildlife tags smaller animals limited by the mass devices. Micro-sized with solar panels sometimes solve this challenge, however, nocturnal species or...
Robust population estimation is indispensable for well-informed management and conservation of species. Capture-recapture models provide a robust framework density animals with unique identifying features. The challenge amplified group-living species lacking identifiable marks where both the number groups individuals needs to be estimated simultaneously. We developed model estimate using hierarchical clustering approach. used weighted geographical distance probability missing an individual...
