Prevalence of Varied Coat Coloration in a Yellow-Throated Marten (Martes flavigula) Population
Animals, 2021 Mammalian coat color is determined by heritable variations such as disease, nutrition, and hormone levels. Variation in animal coat color is also considered an environmental indicator and provides clues for the study of population genetics and ...

Majestic tigers: personality structure in the great Amur cat
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 We explore individual differences in tiger personality. We first asked—is there evidence of personality dimensions (analogous to the Big Five in human personality research) in the Amur tiger? We then asked, are any discoverable personality dimensions associated with measured outcomes, including group status, health and mating frequency?

Phenotypic plasticity determines differences between the skulls of tigers from mainland Asia
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Tiger subspecific taxonomy is controversial because of morphological and genetic variation found between now fragmented populations, yet the extent to which phenotypic plasticity or genetic variation affects phenotypes of putative tiger subspecies has ...
