Spatially explicit density and its determinants for Asiatic lions in the Gir forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica) are an icon of conservation success, yet their status is inferred from total counts that cannot account for detection bias and double counts. With an effort of 4,797 km in 725 km2 of western Gir Protected Area, India,

Osteometry of Lumbar Vertebrae of Asiatic Lion (Panthera leo) [PDF]
THE INDIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2017 The anatomy of lumbar vertebrae of Asiatic lion was studied. There were seven lumbar vertebrae. The length of the body increased from the first to the sixth vertebrae, whereas the width increased up to the last vertebra. The ventral ridge was absent in first and last vertebrae.

Genetic variation in Asiatic lions and Indian tigers [PDF]
ELECTROPHORESIS, 1997 AbstractPrevious reports have suggested that Asiatic lions and tigers are highly inbred and exhibit very low levels of genetic variation. Our analyses on these species have shown much higher degrees of polymorphism than reported. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of 38 Asiatic lions, which exist as a single population in the Gir Forest

Major histocompatibility complex class I polymorphism in Asiatic lions [PDF]
Tissue Antigens, 2005 Abstract: Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica), whose only natural habitat in the world is the Gir forest sanctuary of Gujarat State in India, are highly endangered and are considered to be highly inbred with narrow genetic diversity. An objective assessment of genetic diversity in their immune loci will help in assessing their survivability and may ...

Variation in social organisation of lions with particular reference to the Asiatic Lions Panthera leo persica (Carnivora: Felidae) of the Gir forest, India [PDF]
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2009 Sociality is one of the distinctive features of Lions (Panthera leo), which are the only social felids. Their evolutionary history is important both for understanding the evolution of sociality and that of other sympatric species owing to their ...

Balancing conservation planning and mitigation: perspectives from a case study of the Asiatic lions [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Diverse, often inter-disciplinary, approaches have been proposed to advance the conservation of lions (Panthera leo) and their natural habitats. The IUCN guidelines for the conservation of lions in Africa call for effective national policies at all ...
