The abundance and sett ecological characteristics of the Asian badger (Meles leucurus) in the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park (NE China)

Global Ecology and Conservation
The sett is a crucial resource for badgers, serving various functions and significantly influencing their spatial ecology. The selection of sett sites is also a complex behavior.

Relative abundance of Roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) related to overstory structure and understory food resources in Northeast China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Large herbivores are particularly susceptible to changes in quantity and quality of forage resources, in turn constraining populations of large and threatened carnivores. Key prey species for Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) and leopards (P.

Roaring to Go: Engagement With Positive Reinforcement Training as a Valid and Reliable Indicator of Positive Welfare in Zoo Big Cats

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A figure summarising the information conveyed by the abstract in graphical form ABSTRACT Engagement with positive reinforcement training is a non‐invasive, easily recorded, and valid indicator of welfare in captive bottlenose dolphins. However, despite the ubiquitousness of training programs in zoo‐housed mammals in accredited zoos, this metric has yet

The Curious Case of the Amur Leopard Sofiya

Undergraduate Journal of Service Learning & Community-Based Research, 2015
The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is a critically endangered subspecies of leopard. One of these rare leopards resides at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, CT. In order to preserve rare species, zoos around the world have implemented the Species Survival Plan (SSP),which involves conservation and controlled breeding of critically endangered ...

EFFECTIVE APPLICATION OF SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY IN FORENSIC BIOLOGY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF HAIRS FROM EXTINCT AND EXTANT MAMMALIAN SPECIES

Теория и практика судебной экспертизы, 2018
The possibilities of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for effective species diagnosis and identification of mammals are demonstrated using specific examples of microscopic analysis of mammalian fur, including the fur of extinct species of the Ice Age ...

Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Effects of odors on behaviors of captive Amur leopards Panthera pardus orientalis

Current Zoology, 2009
Abstract Captive environments often fail to resemble the wild environment in respects of limited space, unchanging habitat, lack of stimulus and contingency. Common animal welfare problems which occur in captive animals include low behavioral diversity, abnormal behavior and excessive inactivity. Environmental enrichment, as an effective

Diverse Locations and a Long History: Historical Context for Urban Leopards (Panthera pardus) in the Early Anthropocene From Seoul, Korea

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
While the urban landscapes of the early Anthropocene may appear hostile to large carnivores, humans and leopards (Panthera pardus) are known to co-inhabit major urban centres like Mumbai (India), Nairobi (Kenya) and Johannesburg (South Africa).

Environmental Drivers of Geographic Isolation in Three Pika Species in Northeast Asia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Using bias‐corrected species distribution models, we found that geographic isolation among three northeastern Asian pika species (Ochotona coreana, Ochotona mantchurica, and Ochotona hyperborea) reflects both divergent environmental preferences and potential competitive interactions. O.
