Environmental transmission of extremely resistant Toxoplasma gondii oocysts has resulted
in infection of diverse species around the world, leading to severe disease and deaths in …

The correct interpretation of relative abundance indices provided by different sampling
methods is essential to correctly estimate population size. Although multiple indices and …

Noninvasive genetic sampling, or noninvasive DNA sampling (NDS), can be an effective
monitoring approach for elusive, wide‐ranging species at low densities. However, few …

Intraguild predation (IGP) by a dominant predator can drive the spatial dynamics of a
subordinate predator and may explain space‐use patterns that deviate from theoretical …

Background The implementation of intensive and complex approaches to monitor large
carnivores is resource demanding, restricted to endangered species, small populations, or …

Small mammalian predators can have low population densities, as well as cryptic and highly
mobile behaviours, making these species challenging to manage. Monitoring tools such as …

The status of many carnivore species is a growing concern for wildlife agencies,
conservation organizations, and the general public. Historically, kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis) …

Advances in molecular ecology, particularly over the past two decades, have allowed
studies of populations to extend to increasingly broad geographic and temporal scales …

In a working relationship, the acute olfactory abilities of dogs and their unique capacity to
engage with humans have been harnessed to accomplish myriad tasks. Whether as …

Wolves are currently recolonising their historic range in France. The collection of scats is a
