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,

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.

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Histological analysis of incremental markings and crown growth characteristics in mandibular first molars of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes (Canidae, Mammalia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This paper histologically analyzed incremental markings in dental enamel of red fox and grey wolf. Our results demonstrate that previous studies have misidentified these markings, which led to miscalculation of dental growth parameters. Abstract The present study analyzed incremental markings in the enamel of eight mandibular first molars (M1) of red ...

Leopardus braccatus (Carnivora: Felidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2012
Leopardus braccatus (Cope, 1889) is a small felid—not much larger than a domestic house cat—commonly called the Pantanal cat. No comprehensive surveys have been conducted to determine how many L. braccatus exist in the wild. It is found in humid, warm grasslands and wooded areas of extreme northwestern Argentina, southwestern and south- and north ...

Integrating Niche Dimensions to Advance the Ecological Study of the Americas' Smallest Cat: The Guigna in Argentine Patagonia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We present our findings from the first multi‐annual survey of guigna in Argentine Patagonia. We found that habitat use for guignas was negatively affected by the presence of co‐predators and open vegetation; conversely, it was positively affected by the occurrence of thick forests and the presence of potential prey.
