The ecology of jaguars (panthera onca) in a human-influenced landscape
… persecution over the last century, the jaguar (Panthera onca) has sustained a wide geographic distribution, perhaps due to its elusive nature and rather flexible ecology. This study investigated jaguar ecology under anthropogenic pressures in Belize, Central America. A suite of methods including …

A genetic perspective on leopard (Panthera pardus) conservation units across southern Africa
… considered one conservation unit for leopards (Panthera pardus pardus). This proposal does not take into consideration the likelihood of existing population genetic structure across an increasingly fragmented landscape. Further complicating regional leopard conservation is the variability in …

Phylogeny of <em>Panthera</em>, Including <em>P. atrox</em>, Based on Cranialmandibular Characters
… discrepancies, particularly within the genus <em>Panthera</em> and the position of <em>Panthera atrox</em>. Consequently, morphologic characters from the skull and dentary were analyzed within <em>Panthera</em> (including all extant and one extinct taxa) to gain a better understanding of …

Mechanisms facilitating coexistence between leopards (Panthera pardus) and their competitors in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
… coexistence mechanisms between leopards (Panthera pardus) and their competitors and present four pieces of original research on leopard ecology and monitoring, primarily within the framework of carnivore interactions. To this end, I focus on sympatric populations of wild, but habituated, …

The conservation of the snow leopard (panthera uncia) and an action plan for the Indian Himalaya population
The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) inhabits the high-altitude mountains of Central Asia, with 2,710 to 3,386 individuals remaining in the wild. Snow leopards were previously listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List, but 2017 saw the species demoted to vulnerable following a reassessment …

The conservation status and dynamics of a protected African lion Panthera leo population in Kafue National Park, Zambia
The abundance of African lions Panthera leo has declined rapidly in recent decades, largely due to competition for space with growing human populations. The future persistence of the species in the wild therefore depends heavily on viable populations in large protected areas, where lions play key …

A multiscale analysis and quantification of human impacts on Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) habitat in Riau, Sumatra
… endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae). While Riau Province, Sumatra, produces approximately 20% of the world's palm oil, tigers still inhabit parts of Riau, though their habitat and prey are understudied. Thus, in this research, I aim to assess and quantify how …

The Effects of Olfactory Stimuli on the Behavior of the Far Eastern/Amur Leopard (<i>Panthera pardus orientalis</i>) in Captivity
<p>Two Amur leopards from the Jackson Zoological Park were observed under continuous surveillance while on exhibit over 21 days to better understand the activity budget of leopards in captivity, and what effects olfactory stimuli may have on those activity patterns. Behaviors were observed through …

A camera trap assessment of factors influencing leopard (Panthera pardus) habitat use in the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, Republic of Congo
Leopards (Panthera pardus) are faced with increasing levels of anthropogenic pressure resulting in population declines across much of their historical range. While there is relatively limited knowledge of leopards occurring in African rain forests, their abundance and distribution is assumed to be …

Noninvasive tracking of jaguars (Panthera onca) and co-occurring Neotropical felids in Belize, Central America by genotyping feces and remote camera trapping
The elusive jaguar (Panthera onca) is extremely difficult to study due to its wide-ranging behavior, crepuscular activity peaks and its occurrence in low population densities in often dense forest habitats. Jaguars are also a species of concern, but our ability to provide for their survival is …

The biochemical systematics of the Southern African Felidae
… European wild cat, Felis sylvestris; leopard, Panthera pardus; lion, Panthera leo; and cheetah, Acynonyx jubatus. Mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) was utilized instead of nuclear DNA since it accumulates point mutations at a rate which is 5 to 10 times as fast as the nuclear DNA and is therefore …

Towards multimodal monitoring of large African carnivores
… of ecological data to monitor African lions (Panthera leo) and leopards (Panthera pardus). The most used technologies are camera traps and GPS or VHF collars. Passive acoustic monitoring could act as a complementary monitoring tool because both species produce loud, recognisable vocalisations …

Factors influencing cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) distribution in Kafue National Park, Zambia
… trap surveys were designed and run by the NGO Panthera Wildcat Conservation, in collaboration with Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) to estimate leopard density across the north, central, and southern regions of the park. To adapt this survey for use in cheetah occupancy …

Status and Ecology of the Nilgiri Tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, South India
… the park (p <0.001). Predators such as leopard (Panthera pardus) and tiger (Panthera tigris), killed and consumed tahr. Tahr constituted 56% of the leopards' diet and 6% of the tigers' diet. I estimated that leopards and tigers in the park killed and consumed 30 to 60 tahr per year, and this …

Under the skin of a culture: perceptions of fake leopard skin alternatives in the Shembe Baptist Church
… around the increasing demand for leopard skins, Panthera (cat conservation NGO) initiated the Furs for Life project in 2013, introducing synthetic leopard skin alternatives to real skins. These ‘faux' skins were donated to the Shembe church for dissemination among their followers, with the hope …

MICROBIAL GUARDIANS OF THE SAVANNAH: UNRAVELING THE GUT MICROBIOME FOR AFRICAN CARNIVORE CONSERVATION
… collected from anesthetized African lions (<em>Panthera leo</em>) and spotted hyenas (<em>Crocuta crocuta</em>) in Etosha National Park, Namibia. Additional opportunistic samples from carnivore kill sites were also analyzed. No significant differences in alpha or beta diversity were detected …
