💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐕🌊 Bush #dogs are rare wild #canids of Central and #SouthAmerica with webbed #feet for swimming and short #legs adapted for the #forest floor.
Highly social, these elusive pack hunters live in family groups of up to twelve #animals and hunt together to catch #prey.

#Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman #animals possess empathy (the distribution question)?
To gain an initial understanding of the feasibility of this framework for interspecies comparisons, we applied it to four groups of animals: #rodents, #apes, #canids and #corvids -

Factors contributing directly to platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) mortality and implications for conserving populations in the wild
" Based on details of more than 400 platypus deaths with an identifiable cause recorded since 1989,
five main factors contributed directly to platypus mortalities:drowning in fish nets or enclosed crustacean traps (such as opera house traps),
being killed by predators (especially canids),
becoming accidentally hooked by recreational anglers who then cut the line,
becoming entangled in discarded fishing line or other types of litter and
being hit by motor vehicles... Additional mortality factors included drought, severe flooding, being drawn into irrigation pumps and entrapment in manmade materials or infrastructure.
Disease was implicated as being the likely causal agent in two platypus deaths, including a female that died late in lactation.
Platypus mortalities were recorded throughout the year on the southeastern Australian mainland but peaked in early autumn, when many recently weaned juveniles are likely to be present. Given the very high number of platypus mortalities attributed to the use of fish nets or enclosed crustacean traps, their use should be banned in all waters where platypus population are known to occur.

Ethiopian #wolves are the first large #carnivores found to slurp nectar https://www.sciencenews.org/article/ethiopia-wolves-carnivore-nectar-pollen
#Canids as #pollinators? Nectar foraging by #EthiopianWolves may contribute to the #pollination of Kniphofia foliosa: Sandra Lai et al. https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ecy.4470
"As a #wolf licks nectar from the cone-shaped #flowers, its muzzle can become covered in #pollen that could get passed from flower to flower."

@KateShaw has made a great new episode about the African wild dog, also known as the painted dog or the painted wolf. Next follows the aardwolf ... dog-like, but actually a hyena. Finally, the Ethiopian wolf, which ends with a neat surprise.

In the face of widespread global biodiversity loss, some canid reintroductions are taking place and proving successful. These rewilding efforts are offering evidence of the importance of canids to healthy ecosystems and to reducing various ecosystem-wide threats, even potentially helping curb climate change.

This fox kit and his mum lived across the street from my family a couple years ago. I think their den was the cellar of an abandoned house.

Time for a new and improved #introduction now that I've switched to the ecoevo.social instance and know a little bit more about how Mastodon works!
I'm Holly, a #zoologist and PhD Candidate in University College Dublin. I work on the canid (dog) family, using FitBit-style collars to track animal movements and behaviour. Let's connect!
