Microplastics in the Amur tiger's habitat: Occurrence, characteristics, and risk assessment
Journal of Hazardous MaterialsMicroplastics (MPs) are emerging environmental pollutants that pose a significant threat to wildlife within forest ecosystems. However, the quantity and types of MPs in wildlife forest habitats remain unclear. This study is the first to assess the distribution of MPs in the Amur tiger habitat of northeast China.

Population and Habitat of the Amur Tiger in the Russian Far East
Achievements in the Life Sciences, 2014 In the beginning of 19th century, the range (areal) of Panthera tigris altaica included the forest part of the Korean Peninsula, the northern provinces of China, and the left bank of the Amur River in Russia and approached Transbaikalia and Yakutia. By the late 1930s, the number of tigers in Russia had decreased to 20–30 individuals.

Intra- and Interspecific Spatial Temporal Interactions Drive Habitat Selection of Three Sympatric Top Predators. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT The population distribution and habitat selection of top predators are critically important for species conservation and habitat management. While previous studies have identified environmental characteristics and food resources as factors influencing animal habitat selection, the roles of potential intra‐ and interspecific competition have ...

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?
