Conservation strategies for the North China leopard: Establishing effective ecological corridors in Shanxi Province

Ecological Indicators
Increasing urbanization has resulted in fragmentation and shrinkage of the North China leopard’s habitat, posing a threat to its survival. By establishing ecological corridors, the North China leopard population will be able to recover and stabilize.

Promoting the conservation of the leopard in North China based on habitat suitability and connectivity

Global Ecology and Conservation
Protection of large carnivores is a global biodiversity conservation issue. Habitat fragmentation has had a negative impact on the abundance and distribution of leopards (Panthera pardus) worldwide.

DNA metabarcoding analysis of the North China and Amur Leopards' feeding habits. [PDF]

Curr Zool
Abstract Leopards Panthera pardus are top predators that play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance and stability by exerting top-down control on prey species populations through direct predation. Despite their wide distribution, in recent years leopard populations have become endangered in many regions due to increasing ...

Transboundary Cooperation in the Tumen River Basin Is the Key to Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus) Population Recovery in the Korean Peninsula [PDF]

Animals, 2023
The interconnected forest regions along the lower Tumen River, at the Sino-North Korean border, provide critical habitats and corridors for the critically endangered Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis).

Assessment of population genetic diversity and genetic structure of the North Chinese leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis) in fragmented habitats of the Loess Plateau, China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Leopard (Panthera pardus) populations on the Chinese Loess Plateau have experienced severe declines and were once on the verge of extinction. Currently, leopards in the Loess Plateau region are mainly scattered in human-dominated fragmented habitats in ...

Human activities reshape the spatial overlap between North Chinese leopard and its wild ungulate prey [PDF]

Frontiers in Zoology
Background Rapidly expanding human activities have profoundly changed the habitat use of both large carnivores and their prey, but whether and how human activities affect the interactions between them has received relatively less attention. In this study,

Tolerances of North China leopard and their prey distributions to primary road disturbances driven by habitat spatial heterogeneity

Global Ecology and Conservation
Roads, as man-made features nested within landscapes, have extensive impacts on wildlife survival. However, how the heterogeneous distribution of habitat factors along roads affects the tolerance of wildlife’s spatial distribution relative to roads has ...

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Phylogenetic study of extirpated Korean leopard using mitochondrial DNA from an old skin specimen in South Korea [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
The leopard, Panthera pardus, is a threatened species in its range throughout the world. Although, historically, the Korean Peninsula had a high population density of leopards, they were extirpated from South Korea by 1970, leaving almost no genetic ...
