  1. 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 …

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 …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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 …

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 …

    <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 …

    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 …

  10. 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 …
