ABSTRACT Motivation Human activities have been reshaping the natural world for tens of thousands of years, leading to the extinction of hundreds of bird species. Past research has provided evidence of extinction selectivity towards certain groups of species, but trait information is lacking for the majority of clades, especially for prehistoric ext...

Mammal species globally exhibit distribution patterns conditioned by environmental conditions and human impact. The Mediterranean basin provides an ideal system to study these effects due to its diverse climate, and habitat conditions. In this work, we aim to assess the impact of landscape heterogeneity and anthropization degree on terrestrial mamm...

This dataset includes information on the prey consumed by free-ranging domestic cats with different care/nourishment conditions, obtained from the analysis of scats. Most of the samples have been collected in two different regions (north of Palencia province and northeastern of the Sierra Nevada, Almería province), although opportunistic samples fr...

This dataset describes the home range size of 64 domestic cats living in different sites in Spain during the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. Cats were tracked with three different types of devices during periods ranging from 8 and 82 days, and they were owned cats living associated with a house (50 individuals), colony unattended cats (13 individuals),...

The current data set provides all mammals recorded during a camera-trap survey performed in eastern Sierra Nevada (Southeastern Iberian peninsula) in order to detect wildcats (Felis silvestris) within the subproject "Feral Cats" of the SUMHAL macroproject. Forty-seven camera-traps were deployed between April 2022 and December 2022.

This paper presents an AI-based smart camera-trap hardware system designed for wildlife monitoring. Our camera incorporates classification convolutional neural networks optimized for running on embedded platforms at the edge. We primarily focus on the task of blank-image filtering to alleviate subsequent manual or automatic analysis. System specifi...

Presentación de los resultados conseguidos hasta el momento sobre la distribución del gato montés y su estado genético en Catalunya gracias al proyecto de ciencia ciudadana "Gat Fer".

Hedgehogs occur within an urban mammal guild in the United Kingdom. This guild commonly utilizes anthropogenic food provision, which is potentially beneficial to wild animal populations, but may also bring competitors and predators into proximity, raising the question of how these species interact in urban gardens. In this study, we determined inte...

Mammalian carnivores with generalist feeding behaviour should trace and exploit new and predictable food resources quicker and more easily than more specialised species. On the other hand, if the new food resource is spatially and temporally predictable, interference or exploitation competition should arise among members of the carnivore guild, wit...

Las interacciones producidas por competencia por interferencia suelen ser asimétricas, con las especies de mayor tamaño siendo dominantes sobre las más pequeñas o subordinadas. Estas últimas suelen reducir el riesgo de un encuentro agonístico a través de la segregación en los ejes espacial o temporal del nicho ecológico. En ocasiones, cuando los re...

El gato montés (Felis silvestris) es una especie estrictamente protegida y de interés especial, pero aún sigue siendo uno de los carnívoros más desconocidos de nuestros bosques. En Cataluña, no hay datos precisos sobre su grado de introgresión genética o la dinámica de sus poblaciones. Con el objetivo de llenar este vacío, se ha iniciado el “Plan d...
