Population monitoring of snow leopards using noninvasive collection of scat samples: a pilot study
Animal Conservation - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 401-411 - 2008
Jan E. Janečka, Rodney Jackson, Z. Yuquang, Diqiang Li, Bariushaa Munkhtsog, Valerie A. Buckley-Beason, William J. Murphy
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 genetic methods for monitoring this felid. We designed snow leopa... hiện toàn bộ

Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defenses
Animal Conservation - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 409-417 - 2007
Douglas C. Woodhams, Katie Ardipradja, Ross A. Alford, Gerry Marantelli, Laura K. Reinert, Louise A. Rollins‐Smith
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, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Susceptibility to c... hiện toàn bộ
Feral pigs facilitate hyperpredation by golden eagles and indirectly cause the decline of the island fox
Animal Conservation - Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 307-318 - 2001

Marine hotspots of activity inform protection of a threatened community of pelagic species in a large oceanic jurisdiction
Animal Conservation - Tập 23 Số 5 - Trang 585-596 - 2020

AbstractRemote 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 threatened seabirds, and pinniped... hiện toàn bộ
Assessing the mechanisms behind successful surrogates for biodiversity in conservation planning
Animal Conservation - Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 270-280 - 2008
Joshua J. Lawler, D White
AbstractLimited 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 prioriselection of surrogate groups. We used a database of 1449 species in two regions of the United State... hiện toàn bộ
The influence of unburnt patches and distance from refuges on post‐fire bird communities
Animal Conservation - Tập 15 Số 5 - Trang 499-507 - 2012
Simon J. Watson, Rick S. Taylor, Dale G. Nimmo, Luke T. Kelly, Michael F. Clarke, Andrew F. Bennett
AbstractPredicting 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 situsurviving populations or by colonization fromex situpopulations. Fine‐scale spatial patterns in the patchiness of fires and the proximity o... hiện toàn bộ
The response of arboreal marsupials to long‐term changes in forest disturbance
Animal Conservation - Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 246-258 - 2021
David B. Lindenmayer, Wade Blanchard, David Blair, Lachlan McBurney, Chris Taylor, Benjamin C. Scheele, Martin J. Westgate, Natasha Robinson, Claire N. Foster
AbstractQuantifying the long‐term population trajectory of species and the factors affecting these trends is a fundamental part of animal conservation. We describe the results of a long‐term investigation of temporal changes in the occurrence of arboreal marsupials in the wet eucalypt forests of south‐eastern Australia. The assemblage includes habitat specialists such as the vulnerable greater gli... hiện toàn bộ
Predators and people: using human densities to interpret declines of large carnivores
Animal Conservation - Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 165-173 - 2000
Roșie Woodroffe
AbstractThe 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 relating local carnivore extinction... hiện toàn bộ
Altered behaviour in spotted hyenas associated with increased human activity
Animal Conservation - Tập 6 Số 3 - Trang 207-219 - 2003
Erin E. Boydston, Karen M. Kapheim, Heather E. Watts, Micaela Szykman Gunther, Kay E. Holekamp
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 reserve in Kenya. Hyenas preferred areas near dense vegetation ... hiện toàn bộ
