Assessing the detectability of the Irish stoat Mustela erminea hibernica using two camera trap-based survey methods
Mammal Research - Tập 67 Số 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2022
Monitoring small mustelids like weasels Mustela nivalis and stoats M. erminea is challenging as they are rarely seen, leave scant field signs and display avoidance behaviour towards traps and monitoring devices. The Irish stoat M. erminea hibernica is a subspecies endemic to Ireland and the Isle of Man, and despite being widespread in Ireland, no information exists on its population status due to ......
Nutritional niche separation between native roe deer and the nonnative fallow deer—a test of interspecific competitionAbstract On an evolutionary time scale, competition for food drives species formation by genetic adaptations to the environment and subsequent niche separation. On a short-term scale, animals use different strategies to meet their nutritional requirements, which ultimately influence their fitness. Understanding these adaptations in herbivores is especially important... ...

Deforestation leads to prey shrinkage for an apex predator in a biodiversity hotspot
Mammal Research - - 2021
Deforestation is a key driver of biodiversity reduction worldwide and impacts ecosystem functioning, ecological processes, and species behavior. Here, we investigated the effects of deforestation on the diet of puma (Puma concolor) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We characterized puma diets in the largest continuous Atlantic Forest remnant and compiled literature data on their diet across the bi......
New data on the distribution and intraspecific variation of the Millard’s giant rat Dacnomys millardi (Mammalia, Rodentia) from Vietnam
Mammal Research - Tập 62 - Trang 307-311 - 2017
The paper presents an analysis of a genetic and morphological variation of Dacnomys millardi from seven Vietnamese localities, including a new finding from southern Vietnam which lies some 1000 km to the south of the currently known limit of the species range. Samples from northern and southern Vietnam do not differ significantly in their cranial and oversize characteristics. Surprisingly, they ar......
Pine marten vs. stone marten in agricultural lowlands: a landscape-scale, genetic survey
Mammal Research - Tập 61 Số 4 - Trang 327-335 - 2016
Patterns of species co-occurrence in a diverse Eastern Himalayan montane carnivore community
Mammal Research - Tập 67 - Trang 139-149 - 2021
We investigated patterns of species richness and co-occurrence in a montane carnivore community within a forested landscape in Bhutan that ranged in altitude from 2000 to 3760 m above sea level, and covered an area of approximately 140 km2. Species were detected by unbaited camera traps set along animal trails and baited camera traps set away from trails. During the 6-month study, we gathered 1,32......
Behaviour and reproductive fitness of postdispersal in plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) on the Tibetan Plateau
Mammal Research - Tập 63 - Trang 151-159 - 2017
Dispersal, which is a crucial process in animal population and evolutionary ecology, is considered personality dependent. The fitness consequences of dispersal are important. However, they are difficult and rarely measured in wild populations. In this study, we investigated the behaviour and reproductive fitness in a plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) population for two continuous years through mar......
Habitat structure and the presence of large carnivores shape the site use of an understudied small carnivore: caracal ecology in a miombo woodland
Mammal Research - Tập 68 - Trang 113-120 - 2022
Basic ecological knowledge on African small carnivores and how they interact with the wider carnivore guild are lacking for many species. The caracal (Caracal caracal) has a widespread distribution across Africa, yet there is a paucity of information on this species outside of savannah and agricultural landscapes. Using camera trap data from Kasungu National Park, Malawi, we provide novel informat......
Agricultural land-use intensity and its effects on small mammals in the central region of Argentina
Mammal Research - Tập 60 - Trang 415-423 - 2015
Agriculture intensification is one of the main threats to biodiversity in agricultural systems. The effectiveness of conservation strategies in these systems depends mainly on the compromise between biodiversity conservation and agricultural land use. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of land-use intensity, characteristics of linear habitats (field borders) and their surrounding field......
