Bovine and buffalo are important livestock species that have contributed to human lives for
more than 1000 years. Improving fertility is very important to reduce the cost of production. In …

Aim Biodiversity loss is a major driver of ecosystem change, yet the ecological data required
to detect and mitigate losses are often lacking. Recently, camera trap surveys have been …

The order Carnivora, which currently includes 296 species classified into 16 families, is
distributed across all continents. The phylogeny and the timing of diversification of members …

The composition of local mammalian carnivore communities has far‐reaching effects on
terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. To better understand how carnivore communities are …

Aim Maintaining connectivity is critical for long‐term persistence of wild carnivores in
landscapes fragmented due to anthropogenic activity. We examined spatial genetic structure …

Mesoamerican jaguars (Panthera onca) have been extirpated from over 77% of their historic
range, inhabiting fragmented landscapes at potentially reduced population sizes …

Four species of spotted skunks (Carnivora, Mephitidae, Spilogale) are currently recognized:
Spilogale angustifrons, S. gracilis, S. putorius, and S. pygmaea. Understanding species …

The snow leopard, Panthera uncia, is an elusive high-altitude specialist that inhabits vast,
inaccessible habitat across Asia. We conducted the first range-wide genetic assessment of …

Background Habitat fragmentation reduces genetic connectivity for multiple species, yet
conservation efforts tend to rely heavily on single-species connectivity estimates to inform …

Recent advances in DNA sequencing and genoty** technologies are rapidly building our
capacity to address ecological, evolutionary, and conservation questions for wildlife species …
