Thesis
Ali, I. (2024). Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India. (Thesis). University of Salford

The inevitable human interaction with wildlife often gives rise to human-wildlife conflicts inflicting tangible (e.g., financial, persecutions) and intangible (e.g., emotional) losses on both sides. Despite the lack of scientific records in Kargil... Read More about Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India.

Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Habitat Suitability of Bearded Sakis (Chiropotes, Lesson 1840) (2023)
Thesis
Stafford, M. (2023). Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Habitat Suitability of Bearded Sakis (Chiropotes, Lesson 1840). (Thesis). University of Salford

Pitheciinae are a subfamily of South American monkeys. They possess dental specialisations that allow them to break open the hard pericarps of fruits, making them ecological seed predators. The genera that make up this subfamily are Cacajao (Lesson,... Read More about Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Habitat Suitability of Bearded Sakis (Chiropotes, Lesson 1840).
