AbstractTo investigate how anthropogenic activity might affect large carnivores, we studied the behaviour of spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) during two time periods. From 1996 to 1998, we documented the ecological correlates of space utilization patterns exhibited by adult female hyenas defending a territory at the edge of a wildlife res...... hiện toàn bộ

Identifying potentially suitable nesting habitat for golden eagles applied to ‘important bird areas’ designAnimal Conservation - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 208-218 - 2007
Pascual López‐López, Clara García‐Ripollés, Álvaro Soutullo, Luis Cadahía, Vicente Uríos
AbstractGeographic information systems (GIS)‐based habitat‐suitability modelling is becoming an essential tool in conservation biology. A multi‐scale approach has been proposed as a particularly useful way to identify different factors affecting habitat preferences. In this paper, we developed predictive models of potentially suitable habitat for golden eagles ... hiện toàn bộ
Fishers’ knowledge indicates temporal changes in composition and abundance of fishing resources in Amazon protected areasAnimal Conservation - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 36-47 - 2020
Gustavo Hallwass, Alexandre Schiavetti, Renato Azevedo Matias Silvano
AbstractThe local ecological knowledge (LEK) of fishermen has been applied to reconstruct temporal patterns of resource abundance and to assess resource exploitation, especially in tropical ecosystems. Protected areas (PAs) are the main conservation measure in the Amazon, but their efficacy to improve fisheries is poorly known. The main goal of this study was to ap...... hiện toàn bộ
Population monitoring of snow leopards using noninvasive collection of scat samples: a pilot studyAnimal Conservation - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 401-411 - 2008

AbstractThe endangered snow leopardPanthera unciaoccurs in rugged, high‐altitude regions of Central Asia. However, information on the status of this felid is limited in many areas. We conducted a pilot study to optimize moecular markers for the analysis of snow leopard scat samples and to examine the feasibility of using noninvasive genet...... hiện toàn bộ
Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defensesAnimal Conservation - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 409-417 - 2007

AbstractInnate immune mechanisms of defense are especially important to ectothermic vertebrates in which adaptive immune responses may be slow to develop. One innate defense in amphibian skin is the release of abundant quantities of antimicrobial peptides. Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians caused by the skin fungus, Batra...... hiện toàn bộ
