Genome report: chromosome-level draft assemblies of the snow leopard, African leopard, and tiger ( Panthera uncia , Panthera pardus pardus , and Panthera tigris ) [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Abstract The big cats (genus Panthera ) represent some of the most popular and charismatic species on the planet. Although some reference genomes are available for this clade, few are at the chromosome level, inhibiting high-resolution genomic studies. Here, we assemble genomes from

Comparative anatomy of the felid brachial plexus reflects differing hunting strategies between Pantherinae (snow leopard, Panthera uncia) and Felinae (domestic cat, Felis catus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The brachial plexus, a network of ventral rami providing somatic sensory and motor innervation to the forelimb, is of particular importance in felids. Large-bodied pantherines require powerful rotatory and joint stabilizing forelimb muscles to maintain ...

Climate Change and Human Pressure: Assessing the Vulnerability of Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) Habitat Integrated With Prey Distribution on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionClimate change is significantly altering the distribution of large carnivores and their primary prey species, with particular emphasis on the changing prey distribution in high‐altitude regions. The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, known for its rich biodiversity,

Modelling potential habitat for snow leopards (Panthera uncia) in Ladakh, India. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The snow leopard Panthera uncia is an elusive species inhabiting some of the most remote and inaccessible tracts of Central and South Asia. It is difficult to determine its distribution and density pattern, which are crucial for developing conservation ...

The relationship between plant-eating and hair evacuation in snow leopards (Panthera uncia). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Although most felids have an exclusive carnivore diet, the presence of plant matter in scat has been reported among various species. This indicates that there may be an adaptive significance to the conservation of plant-eating behavior in felid evolution.
