TL;DR: A genetic assessment of 979 domestic cats and their wild progenitors revealed that cats were domesticated in the Near East, probably coincident with agricultural village development in the Fertile Crescent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of an attractive sink leading into maladaptive habitat selection.
TL;DR: Attractive sinks represent a novel aspect of source‐sink dynamics with important conservation and management implications and are explored considering three scenarios: an avoided sink, no habitat preference, and an attractive sink.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positive Effects on Game Species of Top Predators by Controlling Smaller Predator Populations: An Example with Lynx, Mongooses, and Rabbits
TL;DR: The suggestion that removal of top predators may sometimes have a negative effect on prey populations of human economic concern is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Key Role of European Rabbits in the Conservation of the Western Mediterranean Basin Hotspot
Miguel Delibes-Mateos,Miguel Delibes-Mateos,Miguel Delibes,Pablo Ferreras,Rafael Villafuerte +4 more
TL;DR: The role of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) as a keystone species in the Iberian Peninsula portion of the Mediterranean hotspot is reviewed, providing the first empirical support for existence of a multifunctional keystone Species in a global hotspot of biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
