Examination of Scavenging Associated with Wolves
… carnivores such as bears, mountain lions, and canids are abundant. These types of carnivores can not only inflict incredible trauma to a skeleton, they can also disperse the remains over very large areas, making it difficult for forensic teams to recover all of the skeletal elements for …

Mammal and bird trackways in the Miocene Horse Spring Formation, Clark County, Nevada
… documentation of a rotary gallop gait in Miocene canids. Five types of bird tracks, four of which are previously undescribed, also occur. They are: (1) Alaripeda lofgreni, (2) Avipeda sp. A, (3) Avipeda sp. B, (4) Anatipeda sp. A, and (5) a new, previously undescribed track type in the …

Analysis of Bone Crushing Behavior of the Dire Wolf (<em>Canis dirus</em>) Using Dental Microwear Texture Analysis.
… should be similar to extant duraphageous canids. Microwear texture analysis of <em>C. dirus</em> was compared with that of <em>C. lupus</em>, coyote (<em>C. latrans</em>), and African wild dog (<em>Lycaon pictus</em>) to assess the degrees of bone consumption. An overall lack in …

Genomic characterization of the italian wolf (Canis lupus): the genes involved in black coat colour determination and application of microarray technique for snps detection.
… a mutation related with black coat colour in canids. With several reported black individuals (an exception at European level), the Italian wolf population constituted a challenging research field posing many unanswered questions. As found in North American wolf, we reported that melanism in …

The Taxonomic Status of Coyotes From Western South Dakota
… 1976 through January 1978. Skulls of 289 wild canids were cleaned; of these, 167 skulls from adults of known sex were suitable for analysis. Seven cranial and tooth measurements were taken on each skull. Discriminant function analysis and canonical variable analysis were used to determine the …

Canis Obscura: The Social Construction of New Guinea Singing Dogs at the Intersection of Wild and Domestic
… NGSDs are often described as unique among canids, viewed by some as ‘wild’ animals, and by others as ‘domestic’ companions. The research and analysis conducted for the thesis demonstrates that when viewed through a framework of social construction, NGSDs are shown to sit in a liminal …

Genetic variation and parentage in the Ethiopian wolf Canis simensis
… (Canis simensis) is among the most endangered canids in the world, with only 300-500 individuals left in the wild. The most severe threats for the remaining populations are habitat fragmentation, hybridisation with domestic dogs, and diseases (rabies and canine distemper virus). The present MSc …

A Zooarchaeological Analysis of Hole-in-the-Wall Canyon (45KT12) and French Rapids (45KT13) Sites: Ginkgo State Park, Washington
… Other fauna include carnivores (felids and canids), and a small assortment of fish and small mammals. Results of faunal analysis and site chronology data from 45KT12 and 45KT13 were compared to 16 other analyzed faunal assemblages from the Priest Rapids-Wanapum Reservoirs. It was found that …

Defending Wild Dogs: Population Dynamics and Disease in Endangered African Wild Dogs
… an increasing threat to wild dogs and other wild canids, I also conducted review of the disease prevalence and vaccination strategy and efficacy in African wild dogs and Ethiopian wolves, focused on canine distemper and rabies. I found that vaccination with modified-live or recombinant vaccines, …

Elucidating the Genetic Basis of Canine Progressive Retinal Atrophies in Several Breeds of Dog
… 1 (NECAP1): c.544G>A (p.G182R). Screening 5,130 canids revealed only the three PRA-affected GS were homozygous for the SNV, yet heterozygotes were identified in the GS breed and in other breeds of German ancestry. NECAP1 has not previously been associated with retinal degeneration; however, these …

The highly fragmented and dispersed nature of the faunal remains indicated that most of the occupations were campsites or multiple activity sites. A comparison with other sites of similar geographical location and antiquity revealed similar …

Origin, evolution, and global spread of a transmissible cancer clone
… analysing genomic data from ancient and modern canids alongside CTVT whole genomes, I describe the ancestry of the CTVT founder and the likely spatiotemporal origin of the disease. The CTVT progenitor belonged to a monophyletic lineage of high-latitude dogs that likely originated in North East …

Wildlife health in human-modified landscapes: epidemiology of tick-borne pathogens affecting black-backed jackals and caracals
… a ubiquitous pathogen of domestic and wild canids globally, was observed in 46.5% of jackals. Theileria ovis, a piroplasm of small livestock, was found in 4.7% of jackals. Jackals and caracals appear to be distinct in their TBP epidemiological roles, despite sharing similar tick communities. …
