Factors influencing cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) distribution in Kafue National Park, Zambia
… threatened and endangered species like cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), hinges upon a comprehensive understanding of their spatial distribution and conservation status. Despite being among the most threatened species within the Felid family, cheetah are data deficient throughout much of their known …

Metabolism and cryo-sensitivity of domestic cat (Felis catus) and cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) spermatozoa
<p> <p>Teratospermia (ejaculation of ≥ 60% structurally abnormal spermatozoa) is prevalent among felids facing extinction risk, including the cheetah. This trait also occurs in certain domestic cat populations, providing a valuable research model. Multiple components of sperm function are disrupted …

What studbooks can tell us about captive breeding programmes : a case study of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)
… analyses using studbook data. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), considered as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, is a species which has been participating in captive breeding programmes for relative considerable time and can be a good model of study. Although this species …

Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) mortality and survival in fenced reserves as part of a managed metapopulation across South Africa
Large carnivores require expansive habitat to meet their life history needs making them vulnerable to the loss and fragmentation of natural habitat. This, in addition to human persecution has led to substantial population and range reductions of most of the world’s large carnivores over the past …

Markerless 3D Motion Capture of Cheetahs in the Wild
… studying other animals; however, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a particularly compelling animal to study due to its various cursorial adaptions. In recent years, there have been significant improvements in computer-based pattern recognition in deep learning, specifically convolutional …

Mechanisms facilitating coexistence between leopards (Panthera pardus) and their competitors in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
… African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus), and cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) in northern Botswana. Data were primarily collected through a combination of field-based observations, high-resolution GPS radio collars, and tourist-contributed photographs. I found that at both broad- and fine- scales, leopards …

State estimation of a cheetah spine and tail using an inertial sensor network
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is by far the most manoeuvrable and agile terrestrial animal. Little is known, in terms of biomechanics, about how it achieves these incredible feats of manoeuvrability. The transient motions of the cheetah all involve rapid flicking of its tail and flexing of its …

Cheetah of the Serengeti Plains: A home range analysis
Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) persist under continued conservation threat in small populations mostly in protected areas in an historically reduced geographic range. Home range, a useful trait for threat assessment, species reintroduction, and population estimation, is plastic in cheetah with sizes …

Investigation of spermatozoal metabolism and substrate utilization in domestic and non-domestic felids
… from domestic cats (Felis catus), cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), and clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa). The main objectives of this research were to: 1) characterize the metabolome of spermatozoa and seminal fluid; 2) investigate the role of β-oxidation in sperm motility and metabolism; and …

Immunogenetics of free-ranging felids on Namibian farmlands
… MHC I and II variation in free-ranging cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) and leopards (Panthera pardus) on Namibian farmlands. Both felid species are sympatric thus subject to similar pathogenic pressures but differ in their evolutionary and demographic histories. The main aims were to investigate 1) …
