Data from: The first pre-Quaternary fossil record of the clade Mabuyidae with a comment on the enclosure of the Meckelian canal in skinks
We here describe the first Neogene record of the squamate clade Mabuyidae. Although this clade has a cosmopolitan distribution today, no pre-Quarternary fossil record of these reptiles has so far been documented. The material comes from the locality Solnechnodolsk (Russia) and is dated to the late Miocene (MN 13). Although it comprises only jaw elements, it constitutes the first evidence of the occurrence of fossil skinks around the area of the Black Sea. The material is identical to Heremites vittatus, showing the existence of this lineage as early as the late Miocene. Thus, it may be used as a potential calibration point for further studies. The comparative anatomy of the structures of lower jaw in selected scincomorph taxa with a special reference to Mabuya group is presented. The closure of the Meckelian canal is the condition at the basal node of the clade Sphenomorphidae + Eugongylidae + Egerniidae + Mabuyidea, whereas the closed canal in Acontias (Acontidae) evolved independently. However, Sphenomorphidae (Asymblepharus and Scincella) + Eugongylidae (Ablepharus) retain a large anterior opening of the Meckelian canal, whereas only a small opening characterizes the basal node of Egerniidae and Mabuyidae, except for H. vittatus and H. septemtaeniatus. The closure of the Meckelian canal in these two taxa is less well developed in comparison with other mabuyid skinks. Thus, a heterochronic pedomorphic process might have played a role in the evolution of these skinks. The Meckelian canal condition supports the monophyly of Heremites.

Knockadoon Kerbed Enclosure LI032-022028-
National monument No. 247. Situated on east-facing slope of Knockadoon overlooking Lough Gur, Co. Limerick, in an area rich with prehistoric monuments. Bronze-age kerbed enclosure excavated in 1940 by Professor Seán P. Ó Ríordáin. Monument consists of a circular-shaped area enclosed by well preserved double kerbing defined by low orthostats with entrance gap on east side. Excavation around the entrance gap revealed rock cut postholes which supported timbers for a possible wooden gate. In the centre of the circle, the remains of a rectangular building (LI032-022011-) probably a house was uncovered. Two major phases of activity were uncovered. A small quantity of later Bronze Age material came from higher levels on the site. The prehistoric site is on private land and there is no access to the monument without the landowner's permission.

Data from: Patterns of livestock depredation and cost-effectiveness of fortified livestock enclosures in northern Tanzania
Human-carnivore conflicts and retaliatory killings contribute to carnivore populations' declines around the world. Strategies to mitigate conflicts have been developed, but their efficacy is rarely assessed in a randomized case-control design. Further, the economic costs prevent the adoption and wide use of conflict mitigation strategies by pastoralists in rural Africa. We examined carnivore [African lion (Panthera leo), leopard (Panthera pardus), spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), jackal (Canis mesomelas), and cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)] raids on fortified (n=45, total 631 monthly visits) and unfortified (traditional, n=45, total 521 monthly visits) livestock enclosures ("bomas") in northern Tanzania. The study aimed to (i) assess the extent of retaliatory killings of major carnivore species due to livestock depredation, (ii) describe the spatio-temporal characteristics of carnivore raids on livestock enclosures (iii) analyze whether spatial covariates influenced livestock depredation risk in livestock enclosures, and (iv) examine the cost-effectiveness of livestock enclosure fortification. Results suggest that i) majority of boma raids by carnivores were caused by spotted hyenas (nearly 90% of all raids), but retaliatory killings mainly targeted lions, (ii) carnivore raid attempts were rare at individual households (0.081 raid attempts/month in fortified enclosures and 0.102 raid attempts/month in unfortified enclosures), iii) Spotted hyena raid attempts increased in the wet season compared to the dry season, and owners of fortified bomas reported less hyena raid attempts than owners of un-fortified bomas. Landscape and habitat variables tested, did not strongly drive the spatial patterns of spotted hyena raids in livestock bomas. Carnivore raids varied randomly both spatially (village to village) and temporally (year to year). The cost-benefit analysis suggest that investing in boma fortification yielded positive net present values after two to three years. Thus, enclosure fortification is a cost-effective strategy to promote coexistence of carnivores and humans.
Horizontal transmission of a murine retrovirus is driven by males within semi-natural enclosures
<p>1. Transmission is a key component of a pathogen's life history, but it is often difficult to obtain reliable ecological estimates of the dominant mode(s) of transmission and how host traits, such as sex, influence transmission dynamics.<br> 2. Here, we have developed a robust system pairing the use of semi-natural populations of house mice (Mus musculus) with modern molecular viral titering approaches to evaluate the transmission dynamics of Friend Virus Complex (FVC). <br> 3. Semi-natural populations were founded with female and male mice that were either 'index' (initially infected via intraperitoneal injection) or 'contact' (uninfected at the start of experiment). Three experimental population designs were implemented: female index only, male index only, and both female and male index.<br> 4. Utilizing these enclosures, we found male-male transmission to be the predominant mode of transmission, with low rates of horizontal female transmission and no evidence of vertical transmission. Additionally, contact males that became infected harbor higher titers than females, while suffering a similar amount of spleen enlargement; this, paired with a strong correlation between titer and spleen size in males, and no correlation in females, indicates FVC viral dynamics differ between the sexes.<br> 5. Lastly, natural transmission may be an impediment to FVC replication as infected contact animals have a lower viral titer than index animals. These results illuminate the complex life history of murine leukemia viruses and demonstrate the important role of host sex on pathogen transmission dynamics.</p>
Data from: Impact of winter enclosures on the gut bacterial microbiota of red deer in the Bavarian Forest National Park
High numbers of red deer (Cervus elaphus) pose a challenge for natural forests because of their high browsing intensities, especially during winter months. To mitigate this human–wildlife conflict, conservation management in Central Europe involves luring red deer into fenced winter-feeding sites. The supplementary diet provided in these so-called winter enclosures strongly differs from the natural diet of red deer. Dietary shifts, however, can lead to an imbalance of the gut microbiota, which could promote bacterial pathogens. Moreover, increased inter-individual contact in winter enclosures enhances the exchange of symbiotic but also pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene in fecal samples of red deer inhabiting the Bavarian Forest National Park to investigate differences in the gut bacterial microbiota between individuals in winter enclosures and individuals that ranged freely in the forests in winter. We also investigated the occurrence of potential zoonotic bacterial pathogens in both study groups. Our results revealed that proportions of bacterial taxa, alpha- and beta-diversities, and relative abundances of amplicon sequence variants in the gut bacterial microbiota of the two groups differed. These differences were attributed to the enrichment of bacterial taxa involved in the digestion of the supplementary food and to different natural diets consumed before entering the winter enclosures. We detected sequences with high similarities to known red deer pathogens in both study groups, but their relative abundances were low, which suggests that the population of red deer of the National Park Bavarian Forest is healthy.

Distribution. Balabac, Ramos, and Bugsuk Is, Palawan region, Phillipines. In the late 1990s, a small stock of eight Balabac Chevrotains escaped from their enclosures on Calauit Island, a small island off the coast of Busuanga Island, north of Palawan, where the species had been maintained and bred since 1982. These animals were reported to have increased to at least 21 free-living individuals by 2006. Apparently the species was also introduced to the larger island of Palawan. No recent records confirm that it is still extant there, although unconfirmed reports suggest that it may survive in southern Palawan. in Tragulidae

Dataset from The effect of visitors on stress-related behaviour of zoo-housed red-faced spider monkeys (Ateles Paniscus) compared in the inside and outside compartment of the enclosure
<p>Animals held in captivity often endure more stress than wild congeners do, which might be harmful for their health and wellbeing. This stress is often expressed by showing stereotypic behaviour. Previous studies showed that visitors can have a negative impact on the stress levels of zoo-housed animals, referred to by the term ‘visitor effect’. The visitor effect is found to be strong in arboreal primate species, such as spider monkeys.</p> <p>The current study examined the effect of visitors on the stress-related behaviour of red-faced spider monkeys (<em>Ateles Paniscus</em>) housed at ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo. Two visitor variables were assessed; number of visitors and sound volume. Additionally, this study examined whether there was a difference in visitor effect in the inside and outside compartment of the enclosure since these exhibits differ strongly in design.</p> <p>Behavioural observations were conducted for 3 weeks daily, during which all behaviour displayed by the spider monkeys was noted, along with the number of visitors present, the level of sound (in decibel) and the location of observation.</p> <p>This study demonstrated that an increase in average level of decibel led to an increase in stereotypic behaviour. Additionally, spider monkeys were found to display more stereotypic behaviour in the outside compartment of their enclosure. However, this study did not find the number of visitors to have an influence on the stress-related behaviour. These results suggest that visitor noise can have a negative effect on the stress levels of red-faced spider monkeys and that this effect is dependent on the exhibit design.</p> <p>This study hopefully provides more insight into the visitor effect by assessing the influence of two important visitor variables. These insights might improve future designs of zoo enclosures, thus enhancing animal welfare. However, future research is needed to further assess the cause of stress in zoo-housed animals. </p>
