Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.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.

Is The Zanzibar Leopard (Panthera pardus adersi) Extinct
Journal of East African Natural History, 2002 The Zanzibar leopard, Panthera pardus adersi (Pocock, 1932), is a little-known island endemic assumed by some authorities to be extinct. In 1996 a survey of local practices, beliefs and knowledge about the leopard was conducted on Unguja Island. Data were collected through interviews with Zanzibaris in villages across the island and from official ...

Distúrbio comportamental em felídeo silvestre (Panthera pardus) [PDF]
Pubvet, 2015 The wild felines have a wide geographical distribution, but many species are threatened with extinction, which motivates the preservation of these animals in free areas and in some cases maintenance in captivity. When kept in captivity they are under artificial behaviors, where the stress and anxiety are compounded by inadequate management, so they ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Risk-driven behaviour in the African leopard:how is leopard behaviour mediated by lion presence? [PDF]
, 2016 Agricultural expansion is restricting many carnivore species to smaller tracts of land, potentially forcing increased levels of overlap between competitors by constraining spatial partitioning.

Diversity and Evolutionary Patterns of Immune Genes in Free-Ranging Namibian Leopards (Panthera pardus pardus) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2011 The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are a key component of the mammalian immune system and have become important molecular markers for fitness-related genetic variation in wildlife populations. Currently, no information about the MHC sequence variation and constitution in African leopards exists.
