The impact on the survivorship of African wild dogs, Lycaon pictus, following handling for research purposes has also been modelled (=-=Ginsberg et al. 1995-=-). Finally, the critical importance of preferred prey species as habitat features of lions, Panthera leo, was illustrated via models ...
the short answer is yes, but it's more complex than you think. just like in people, nonverbal communication is important in all animals, including elephants. and so that would be different for the three different species of elephants. so it's an african elephants, forest elephants, and ...
because we knew that an enduring effect of 7 days duration on the behaviour of birds can affect survival, from the field experiments conducted to date demonstrating that predator-induced fear can reduce fecundity and survival in free-living wildlife25,29. We further enhanced the external validity ...
requires adult female hosts on breeding beaches to complete its life-cycle [104], and female hosts always return to the beach they were born on to breed [105]. One might therefore expectU. sanguinisto show genetic differentiation among host breeding beaches, but in fact no population genetic ...
Often charismatic large carnivore populations, like those of Asiatic lions (Panthera leo) and tigers are intensively managed through habitat manipulations, health care interventions, baiting, and regulating social mortality in PA’s of India22,40. Such well-meaning management interventions can inflate lo...

Handling methods of reptiles vary depending on the safety of working with the species; for example, different methods will be utilized when handling a non-venomous snake versus a venomous species, and while some species are relatively safe to handle others may pose too large a safety hazard for...

For example, the transmission of canine distemper virus from domestic dogs to wild African carnivores has been linked to population declines of some wild species [17–19]. Small populations that are already at risk are much more vulnerable to extinction in the face of disturbances such as the ...
African Wild Dog vs Hyena: Who Would Win in a Fight? Based on size, strength and more powerful jaws,a spotted hyena would almost certainly come out on top versus a single painted dog. However, there’s no such thing as a ‘fair fight’ in nature, so results aren’t as predictable. ...
