Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

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 ...

Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

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 ...

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.
