How the leopard hides its spots: ASIP mutations and melanism in wild cats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The occurrence of melanism (darkening of the background coloration) is documented in 13 felid species, in some cases reaching high frequencies at the population level. Recent analyses have indicated that it arose multiple times in the Felidae, with three

Potencial do uso de amostras fecais de felinos como ferramenta de monitoramento ambiental

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2022
O monitoramento das unidades de conservação (UCs) é fundamental para avaliar se atingem seus objetivos. Felinos são bons indicadores ambientais e suas fezes podem fornecer informações relevantes para o monitoramento de UCs.

An Overview of the Rock Art of AlUla: Tracing Changes in Content and Form Across 12,000 Years of Human History

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 2018 and 2021, the Identification and Documentation of Immovable Heritage Assets (IDIHA) Project recorded over 19,000 rock art panels in the AlUla (al‐‘Ulā) region of north‐western Saudi Arabia. This study presents a chronological assessment of the corpus, drawing on superimpositions, datable motifs, inscriptions, and varnish formation,

Genome resource banking in the family Felidae

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
Many of the extant Felidae species are endangered or vulnerable. Others being not endangered as a whole species contain endangered subspecies. Only a very few cat species, besides domestic cats, are not in the risk group.

Decadal changes in environmental suitability for the margay (Leopardus wiedii) under anthropogenic pressure in the Yucatán Peninsula

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study evaluates how human activities impact margay (Leopardus wiedii) distribution in the Yucatán Peninsula, revealing habitat loss due to agriculture but also recolonization opportunities in abandoned lands. Species distribution models show range contraction (2010–2023), yet margays demonstrate resilience near disturbed habitats.

The Dynamic Proliferation of CanSINEs Mirrors the Complex Evolution of Feliforms [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Repetitive short interspersed elements (SINEs) are retrotransposons ubiquitous in mammalian genomes and are highly informative markers to identify species and phylogenetic associations. Of these, SINEs unique to the order Carnivora (CanSINEs)

Prionailurus rubiginosus (Carnivora: Felidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2019
Abstract Prionailurus rubiginosus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1831), the smallest felid at nearly one-half the size of a domestic cat, is commonly called the rusty-spotted cat. One of five species in the genus Prionailurus, it is found in wet or dry deciduous forests as well as scrubby grasslands throughout Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal’s ...

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.
