First Mitogenome of the Critically Endangered Arabian Leopard (Panthera pardus nimr) [PDF]
The Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr), a critically endangered subspecies endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, faces severe threats from habitat loss, prey depletion, and inbreeding, with fewer than 200 individuals remaining. Genomic resources for this

Efficient and cost-effective non-invasive population monitoring as a method to assess the genetic diversity of the last remaining population of Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) in the Russia Far East. [PDF]
Small populations of the endangered species are more vulnerable to extinction and hence require periodic genetic monitoring to establish and revisit the conservation strategies.

A Genomic Exploration of the Possible De-Extirpation of the Zanzibar Leopard. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The recently extirpated Zanzibar leopard was the only known African leopard (Panthera pardus spp.) population restricted exclusively to a major island habitat. Although its demise was driven through habitat change and conflict with humans, given its role as a keystone species for the Zanzibar Archipelago, its successful potential ...

Silent Signals in the Snow: Tracking the Spatio-Temporal Territorial Marking Behavior of Snow Leopards (Panthera uncia) in the Mountainous Region of Baltistan, Pakistan. [PDF]
Mammals exhibit complex social behaviors by utilizing various forms of communication such as visual cues, acoustic signals and olfactory sensations. The communication patterns within mammalian species play a crucial role in their behavioral ecology, ultimately influencing their overall health and survival.

Drivers of Hirola Antelope Diet Selection in Natural and Managed Habitat in Eastern Kenya. [PDF]
Hirola (Beatragus hunteri) populations in eastern Kenya consumed 17 forage species, favoring the grass Chloris virgata and the forbs Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa. Nutrient analyses showed that natural habitats offered higher phosphorus, magnesium, and digestibility, whereas managed sites provided more sodium, potassium, and crude protein, with
