- Abstract:
- ... We investigated Toxoplasmosis gondii antibody seroprevalence in free-ranging caracals (Caracal caracal) in Cape Town, South Africa, from 2014 to 2017. Seropositivity was 83% (24/ 29), which is substantially higher than that detected in sympatric feral domestic cat (Felis catus) populations. The impact of this pathogen on local human and wildlife communities may be of concern. ...

- Abstract:
- ... Diet analysis is an essential part in understanding the biology of a species and functioning of ecosystems. Traditional morphological identification of undigested remains in the scats and molecular analyses of prey species’ DNA have previously been used to assess diet. In the present study, caracal diet in the Abbasabad Wildlife Refuge, Central Iran, was investigated using both molecular and morph ...

- Abstract:
- ... The African Penguin Spheniscus demersus is an endangered seabird endemic to southern Africa, and killing sprees by terrestrial predators have been one of the main threats for its mainland colonies. The methods employed to manage predators may differ depending on the species involved, therefore the implementation of strategies to limit the impacts of predation relies on the correct identification o ...

- Abstract:
- ... The caracal Caracal caracal is the largest of Africa's small felids (<20 kg). Across much of Africa, particularly where larger predators have been extirpated, caracal are one of the main carnivores contributing to livestock predation. Caracal dietary studies are outdated, typically have small sample sizes and have mainly relied on scat analysis. We used a combination of scat analysis (n = 250 scat ...

- Abstract:
- ... In this study, we assessed habitat preferences and temporal activity patterns of caracal (Caracal caracal) and several possible prey species in Köyceğiz Wildlife Development Reserve, south-western Turkey. We investigated whether wild goat (Capra aegagrus) is indeed the main prey of caracal and if there is evidence for excessive caracal predation on this ungulate as previously stated by researchers ...

- Abstract:
- ... Understanding the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on species’ behaviour is crucial for conservation planning, considering the extent of habitat loss. We investigated the influence of anthropogenic disturbances including agriculture, urbanisation, protected areas, and the presence of novel predators, on the temporal and spatial behaviour of sympatric forest antelope (Tragelaphus scriptus, Phil ...

- Abstract:
- ... Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are used worldwide to control rodent populations. ARs bioaccumulate across trophic levels and threaten non-target wildlife. We investigated the prevalence of AR exposure in seven predator species in the rapidly developing Greater Cape Town region of South Africa – a mosaic of natural, urban, and agricultural areas within a global biodiversity hotspot. We focused sa ...

- ... Iran is one of the driest countries in the world and shortage of water is one of the main concerns for wildlife conservation in this country. We have studied eight mammal species at Bafgh protected area at the center of Iran. We have investigated the physic-chemical parameters (salinity, chlorine, bicarbonate, carbonate, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxyg ...
