- In the Reserva Ecológica del Pedregal in Mexico City, wild dogs and cats live among many native animals, like birds and reptiles.
- These pets can harm local wildlife and possibly spread diseases to both animals and humans, but there isn't much research on this.
- A study looked at the types of worms found in 36 cats and 7 dogs from 2018 to 2023, discovering several species that could cause health problems for both pets and people if stray animal populations aren’t controlled.
Two morphologically similar species of opossum from the genus Didelphis-Didelphis virginiana and Didelphis marsupialis-cooccur sympatrically in Mexico. High intraspecific variation complicates their morphological discrimination, under both field and museum conditions. This study aims to evaluate the utility and reliability of using DNA barcodes (short standardized genome fragments used for DNA-based identification) to distinguish these two species.
