The dominant mesopredator and savanna formations shape the distribution of the rare northern tiger cat (Leopardus tigrinus) in the Amazon [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Abstract Understanding the distribution patterns of threatened species is central to conservation. The Amazonian distribution of the northern tiger cat (N-tiger cat, Leopardus tigrinus) and its interspecific relationship with the ocelot, its potential intraguild killer, are intriguing.

Natives Against Invaders: Shared Use of Space and Temporal Segregation of Clouded Tiger‐Cats (Leopardus pardinoides) and Domestic Dogs (Canis familiaris) in an Isolated Protected Area [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.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.

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

The Role of Somatic Cell Synchronization in Nuclear Transfer and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Wild Felids [PDF]
Zoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 221-229, May/June 2025.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 ...

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.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.

The Nariño Cat, the Tigrinas and Their Problematic Systematics and Phylogeography: The Real Story [PDF]
AnimalsThe 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]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.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 ...

Avaliação do risco de extinção do gato-do-mato Leopardus tigrinus no Brasil
Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2013 Leopardus tigrinus tem ocorrência ampla no Brasil, embora seja conhecido de poucos registros no bioma Amazônico. A população desta espécie foi calculada utilizando-se uma área de remanescentes de 1.834.967 km2. A população efetiva estimada, de acordo com
