Virome Profiling of an Amur leopard cat Reveals Multiple Anelloviruses and a Bocaparvovirus [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences, 2022 As a small top predator, Amur leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus) is widely distributed in northeast Asia and plays an important role in the control of small rodent populations and in the maintenance of ecological equilibrium.

The Tsushima leopard cat exhibits extremely low genetic diversity compared with the Korean Amur leopard cat: Implications for conservation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 We examined genetic diversity of the wild Tsushima leopard cat—a regional population of the Amur leopard cat—using microsatellite markers. In addition, we compared genetic diversity of the Tsushima leopard cat with that of the Korean population of Amur ...

Ecological thresholds and large carnivores conservation: Implications for the Amur tiger and leopard in China [PDF]
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 The ecological threshold concept describes how changes in one or more factors at thresholds can result in a large shift in the state of an ecosystem. This concept focuses attention on limiting factors that affect the tolerance of systems or organisms and

Efficient and cost-effective non-invasive population monitoring as a method to assess the genetic diversity of the last remaining population of Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) in the Russia Far East. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Small populations of the endangered species are more vulnerable to extinction and hence require periodic genetic monitoring to establish and revisit the conservation strategies.

Toward Precision Biodiversity Detection: An Edge-Deployable Framework for Mitigating Data Redundancy. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis research introduces the WS—YOLO, a lightweight and high—efficiency wildlife detection model that is specifically optimized for edge deployment within camera trap systems. The goal is to enable both false trigger filtering and accurate animal detection within a single model, tailored for low‐power edge deployment. The proposed method contributes to

The comparison of gut microbiota between wild and captive Asian badgers (Meles leucurus) under different seasons [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe gut microbiota plays an important role in the immunology, physiology and growth and development of animals. However, currently, there is a lack of available sequencing data on the gut microbiota of Asian badgers.
