Population monitoring of snow leopards using noninvasive collection of scat samples: a pilot studyAbstract The endangered snow leopardPanthera uncia occurs 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... ...

Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defensesAbstract Innate 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... ...

Marine hotspots of activity inform protection of a threatened community of pelagic species in a large oceanic jurisdictionAbstract Remote oceanic islands harbour unique biodiversity, especially of species that rely on the marine trophic resources around their breeding islands. Identifying marine areas used by such species is essential to manage and limit processes that threaten these species. The Tristan da Cunha territory in the South Atlantic Ocean hosts several endemic and globally ... ...

Assessing the mechanisms behind successful surrogates for biodiversity in conservation planningAbstract Limited by the availability of data, conservation planners must use surrogates for biodiversity when selecting conservation areas. Although several methods have been proposed for selecting surrogates, no clear set of species attributes have been described that allow for the efficienta priori selection of surrogate groups. We used a... ...

The influence of unburnt patches and distance from refuges on post‐fire bird communitiesAbstract Predicting the response of faunal communities to fire presents a challenge for land managers worldwide because the post‐fire responses of species may vary between locations and fire events. Post‐fire recovery can occur via nucleated recovery fromin situ surviving populations or by colonization fromex situ ... ...

Predators and people: using human densities to interpret declines of large carnivoresAbstract The current extinction crisis is caused primarily by human impacts upon wild populations. Large carnivores are especially sensitive to human activity; because their requirements often conflict with those of local people, predators have been actively persecuted in most regions of the world. In this paper, the impact of people upon predators is analysed by re... ...

Altered behaviour in spotted hyenas associated with increased human activityAbstract To 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... ...
