Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.18 days of predator odor exposure altered gut microbiota, increased anxiety‐like behaviors, and elevated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in Brandt's voles, with males showing behavioral habituation and females remaining sensitive. Cecal microbiota transplantation experiments confirmed that only female recipients of microbiota from predator‐

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We developed LeoNet, a lightweight deep learning model for leopard individual identification. It achieved 97.42% accuracy and was robust to age‐related pattern changes and unfamiliar individuals. Applied to camera‐trap data from the Taihang Mountains, LeoNet identified 41 wild North China leopards and generated individual‐level records to support ...

How the leopard got its spots: a phylogenetic view of the evolution of felid coat patterns
, 1997 The current theory of felid coat pattern evolution proposes that the primitive pattern is one of relatively large spots that break down into smaller spots (here denoted flecks) and rosettes while at the same time leading to various striped patterns as ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

Opium Cultivation Imperilling Endangered Species in Northern Laos
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.To avoid government eradication efforts, farmers in northeastern Laos shifted opium cultivation deep into a national park, causing a > 1000% increase in protected forest cleared for the crop between 2018 and 2022. This displacement directly threatened endangered species like white‐cheeked gibbons, elephants, and dholes by causing a rise in hunting ...

Biochemical Genetic Variation in Eight Endangered or Threatened Felid Species
, 1985 Electrophoretic variation at 25 biochemical loci was detected in one or more of eight non-domesticated cat species, including representative small cats (Felis, Leptailurus, Caracal), the great cats (Panthera), and felids of intermediate size (Leopardus ...

GayanaThe kodkod (Leopardus guigna) is a small felid dependent on forests. We studied the activity patterns of this felid during two years in a periurban protected area. We also compared its overlap with rodents and birds.

Paws and Claws: Ecomorphological Differences of Felid Unguals
, 2015 All living cats are members of the family Felidae. Felids have evolved a range of adaptations to their mainly carnivorous lifestyle including retractable unguals (claws).
