Strong evidence of mitochondrial polyphyly of the Leopardus tigrinus (Mammalia, Felidae) species complex revealed by expanded analyses of Andean populations [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology
Over the past two decades, molecular data have revealed a complex evolutionary history for the Neotropical felid genus Leopardus. A particularly problematic subset has been the L.

Natives Against Invaders: Shared Use of Space and Temporal Segregation of Clouded Tiger-Cats (<i>Leopardus pardinoides</i>) and Domestic Dogs (<i>Canis familiaris</i>) in an Isolated Protected Area. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We studied the spatial and temporal relationships between clouded tiger‐cats and dogs in an isolated protected area of Colombia. Dogs influenced the activity patterns of clouded tiger‐cats but not their habitat use. Conservation actions should be directed to mitigate potential contact between both species.

The Role of Somatic Cell Synchronization in Nuclear Transfer and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Wild Felids. [PDF]

Zoo Biol
Cell cycle and cells subjected to synchronization in G0/G1. ABSTRACT Human interference reduces wild felid populations. Somatic cell nuclear transfer and the use of induced pluripotent stem cells are potential conservation strategies. To improve the efficiency of these strategies, it is essential to establish adequate protocols for the synchronization ...

Ecological modeling, biogeography, and phenotypic analyses setting the tiger cats’ hyperdimensional niches reveal a new species [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Recently, the tiger-cat species complex was split into Leopardus tigrinus and Leopardus guttulus, along with other proposed schemes. We performed a detailed analysis integrating ecological modeling, biogeography, and phenotype of the four originally ...

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Species Determination Within the Felidae Family Using mtDNA Minibarcoding. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Wildlife forensic analysis frequently deals with highly degraded DNA samples, including those from tanned hides, processed products of traditional Chinese medicine, and specimens stored in preservation fluids. These samples present significant challenges for traditional DNA barcoding due to the difficulty of amplifying sufficiently long DNA ...

The Nariño Cat, the Tigrinas and Their Problematic Systematics and Phylogeography: The Real Story [PDF]

Animals
The systematics and phylogeny of the most speciose genus (Leopardus) of the felidae have historically been contentious and problematic. These issues have been compounded with the recent advancement of genetic techniques that make it possible to detect ...

Novel Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaherpesviruses in Neotropical Carnivores of Brazil. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
The knowledge regarding infectious agents affecting wildlife is crucial for species’ conservation. We hypothesized that herpesviruses are present in wild Neotropical carnivores. Herein, we used DNA polymerase and glycoprotein B broad‐spectrum PCRs to molecularly survey the presence of herpesviruses in spleen and/or lung samples of 53 wild Neotropical ...
