Mitochondrial phylogeography illuminates the origin of the extinct caspian tiger and its relationship to the amur tiger. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) flourished in Central Asian riverine forest systems in a range disjunct from that of other tigers, but was driven to extinction in 1970 prior to a modern molecular evaluation.

Distemper, extinction, and vaccination of the Amur tiger [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance The decline and progressive fragmentation of many threatened populations increase extinction vulnerability due to outbreaks of infectious disease. Vaccination is one of the few tools available to mitigate these threats, but its use is often hampered by insufficient epidemiological understanding and historic controversies ...

Spatial conservation prioritization for the Amur tiger in Northeast China [PDF]

Ecosphere, 2021
The Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is critically endangered and also the subspecies of the tiger with the most restoration potential in China. It is challenging to protect large‐ranging carnivores like tigers under increasing pressure of human ...

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

Assessment of High Throughput Sequencing Quality of Host DNA Enriched From Faeces: A Case From Captive Tiger. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

Ascarid infection in wild Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) in China [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Wild Amur tigers are a sparsely populated species, and the conservation of this species is of great concern worldwide, but as an important health risk factor, parasite infection in them is not fully understanding.

Tigers on thin ice: traffic mortality incidents and Amur tiger conservation in the Russian Far East

Oryx
This study examines mortality of the Amur tiger Panthera tigris altaica caused by traffic collision incidents in the Russian Far East from 1980 to 2023. Forty-six per cent of mortality incidents occurred within the last 4 years of this period (2020–2023)
