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 …

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 …

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 …

Mechanisms facilitating coexistence between leopards (Panthera pardus) and their competitors in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
… I investigate 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 …

Patterns and processes in chimpanzee hunting behaviour: the chimps and the carnivores: are they really so different?.
… spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta, and the lion, Panthera leo.. Chimpanzees are highly successful hunters compared to large social carnivores. Chimpanzees preferentially hunt relatively small prey compared to the carnivores studied. The mediation analysis shows that the high hunting success of …

Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) mortality and survival in fenced reserves as part of a managed metapopulation across South Africa
… hazard model. Predation, mostly by lions (Panthera leo) accounted for 39% of known mortalities. However, the presence of spotted hyena (Crucota crucuta) posed the greatest threat to survival. Contrary to my prediction, translocation improved survival when controlling for age. Survival has …

Estimating abundance, density, and occupancy of lion, leopard and serval in the Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal
… serval) and two large carnivores (lion – Panthera leo and leopard – P. pardus) in the Niokolo Koba National Park, Senegal, West Africa, using remote camera surveys and both traditional (CR), spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) techniques for servals and leopards, and non-spatial …

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 …

Effect of Lion Calls on African Elephants (<i>Loxodonta Africana</i>) in Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa
… however, the risk of predation by lions (<em>Panthera leo</em>) increases other prey species are less abundant. In elephant herds, related females and their offspring travel together in family groups, led by the eldest female. Response to predation pressure was examined by playing lion calls …

Inactivity and overfeeding related changes in skeletal muscle composition and metabolism in captive felids - are they at risk of developing metabolic syndrome?
… the skeletal muscle properties of captive lions (Panthera leo) who present with obesity and are physically inactive, with a group of free roaming wild lions. Skeletal muscle biopsies were collected from the Triceps brachii and analysed for fibre type composition, fibre size, and maximum oxidative …

Landscape utilisation by an introduced pack of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in eastern Botswana
… a predator avoidance pattern, with lions (Panthera leo) in particular preferring riverine habitat with a less rough terrain in this area. The persistence of this pack in the landscape nine months post-release indicates that this reintroduction has been a partial success. Large perennial …

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 …

The Ecology and Management of Kalahari lions in a Conflict Area in Central Botswana
African Lions (Panthera leo) are an keys species in many natural ecosystems in Africa and provide income and ecosystem services to many human communities. They directly limit herbivore populations, which in turn maintain grasslands and associated systems. Those ecosystems have degraded in recent …

Driving giants: spatial and temporal variables influencing giraffe movements in a private protected area
… southern giraffes (Giraffa giraffa) and lions (Panthera leo) within a small private protected area in South Africa where lions are the primary predator of giraffes. Giraffes are most vulnerable to predation when young, sick, or when in a splay-legged position while drinking water. In addition to …

Anthropogenic effects on site use and temporal patterns of terrestrial mammals in Harenna Forest, Ethiopia
… at stations with high human use. For carnivores, leopards (Panthera pardus) and honey badgers (Mellivora capensis) were crepuscular, and the remaining species were nocturnal. I found evidence that carnivores overlapped less when they were more similar in body size to other carnivores (average …
