With its roots firmly planted in behaviorist and animal learning traditions, lab-based research
is an enduring and pervasive characteristic of comparative cognition. In this review, we …

The role of carrion in food webs is governed by complex competitive interactions among a
wide range of taxa. Although this competition is known to be influenced by several biotic and …

Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are routinely translocated both legally and illegally to mitigate
conflicts with humans, which has contributed to the spread of rabies virus across eastern …

This book examines current knowledge on the evolution, ecology, and conservation biology
of both New World vultures (Cathartidae) and Old World vultures (Accipitridae). Extinct …

The growing needs for agricultural expansion and intensification will likely continue to
reduce and fragment the terrestrial habitats fundamental to mammalian carnivores. Recent …

Although numerous studies have examined habitat use by raccoons (Procyon lotor),
information regarding seasonal habitat selection related to resource availability in …

Abstract During 1994–2007 a total of 156,416 raccoons was live-captured in Ontario,
Canada, as part of mark–recapture studies to estimate raccoon density during rabies-control …

Understanding how anthropogenic development affects food webs is essential to
implementing sustainable growth measures, yet little is known about how the spatial …

Fragment size, isolation, and matrix properties have received considerable attention as
predictors of species richness, abundance, and composition in habitat patches. However …

We tested the hypotheses that movement rates and home range sizes of raccoons (Procyon
lotor (L., 1758)) inhabiting a highly fragmented landscape would vary in response to local …
