Disparity, evolution, and convergence among felid and felid-like carnivorans
2023Felidae stands out as one of the most successful families of carnivorans in modern ecosystems, with a global presence on every continent except Antarctica. These hypercarnivores are typically regarded as apex predators but display a wide range of sizes: from the diminutive Indian forest-dwelling rusty-spotted cat Prionailurus rubiginosus (0.9 to 1.6 kg)

Estrus induction and synchronization in canids and felids
Theriogenology, 2007Indications for estrus induction in the dog and cat include potential missed breeding opportunities or conception failure, the treatment of primary or secondary anestrus, out-of-season breeding (feline) and synchronization of ovulation for embryo transfer programs. Reported methods for estrus induction in bitches and queens include the use of synthetic

Niche partitioning among neotropical felids
Journal of Animal EcologyAbstract Understanding how sympatric predators coexist remains a central question in community ecology, particularly when those species are phylogenetically related obligate carnivores with similar body sizes and trophic roles.

Comparative endocrinology of domestic and nondomestic felids
Theriogenology, 2006The ability to track gonadal and adrenal activity via hormones is key to optimizing health and reproduction. Through decades of study, a great deal has been learned about the biology of female domestic cats, including endocrine function. More recently, comparative endocrine studies have greatly expanded our knowledge base of nondomestic felids as well.

Functional implications of felid forelimb anatomy
Cells Tissues Organs, 1978The elbow and wrist anatomy of 17 felid species were studied and compared with that of other representative mammalian carnivores. Based on the shape and position of the olecranon fossa, it was determined that for felids the forelimb cannot travel in a ‘pendulumlike’ motion during locomotion, but must travel through an arch away from the parasagittal ...

The felid purr: A healing mechanism?
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001A current hypothesis suggests the purr indicates contentment, however, cats purr when they are severely injured or frightened. Forty-four felids were recorded including cheetahs, ocelots, pumas, domestic cats, and servals. A Sony TCD-D8 Digital Audio Recorder (DAT) and Statham Radio microphones recorded the purrs.

Brain, behavior and evolution, 1976
Endocranial casts of 15 genera of fossil felids provide a record of felid brain evolution over the past 35 million years. Brains of the earliest felids, known as paleofelids, had coronolateral, suprasylvian and variably developed ectosylvian sulci as their only neocortical sulci.
