Bear biometrics: developing an individual recognition technique for sloth bears Mamm. Biol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-15
Abstract Identifying individual animals, especially in large mammals, is an important goal for wildlife biologists and managers. Bears, occupying diverse habitats, face and experience significant conflict. Among Asian bears, the sloth bear Melursus ursinus (Shaw, 1791; Vulnerable IUCN Red List) is reported vulnerable due to negative interactions with humans, requiring solutions like identifying bear

Adaptive anti-predatory responses of European rabbits exposed to different predation pressure Mamm. Biol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-15
Abstract Prey species develop anti-predatory strategies as a response to minimising the risk of being predated. However, how the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) adapts to different predator pressure is not fully known. Here, we studied the adaptive anti-predatory responses of European rabbits exposed to different terrestrial predation pressure. To do this, we took advantage of a rabbit translocation

Sika deer Cervus nippon out of the blue: a cryptic invasion in Italy Mamm. Biol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-06
Abstract Hybridization between native and introduced species is one of the most important reasons underlying the impact on biodiversity exerted by biological invasions and also one of the hardest to be detected. The East-Asian sika deer Cervus nippon has been introduced to several European countries, where it is known to generate fertile offspring with the congeneric native red deer C. elaphus, threatening

Small-bodied mammal diversity facets vary discretely across an understudied ecotone in the western Amazon-Cerrado Mamm. Biol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-19
Abstract Tropical forests and savannahs worldwide are yielding to agribusiness, impacting biodiversity. In the southern Amazon deforestation arc, deforestation progress and limited study of extensive areas result in knowledge gaps on the impacts on biodiversity. We examined patterns of small-bodied mammal species diversity along a gradient ranging from closed-canopy to open-area savannahs, in the Guaporé

Abstract Tiger and lion bones are valued highly on the wildlife black market. The skeletons of the two species are very similar, but the level of protection and the laws applicable to them differ. When detecting crime in the field, it can be crucial to recognize the skeletons of these two species by their morphological features. A distinguishing feature neglected in practice is the foramen ovale at

Abstract Hibernating mammals have annual cycles with strict timing of all processes including reproduction, yet female reproductive physiology is only poorly studied in such species. We investigated the estrous cycle in yellow ground squirrels (Spermophilus fulvus), which hibernate up to 9 months. Using vaginal cytology and serum progesterone and estradiol profiles, we identified proestrus, estrus
