Effects of snow leopards (Panthera uncia) on olfactory communication of Pallas’s cats (Otocolobus manul) in the Altai Mountains, Mongolia

Behaviour, 2023
Olfactory communication is important for many solitary carnivores to delineate territories and communicate with potential mates and competitors. Pallas’s cats (Otocolobus manul) are small felids with little published research on their ecology and ...

Communication behavior of the snow leopard (Panthera uncia): understanding marking-behavior patterns to optimize camera-trapping studies

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
Many carnivores rely on marking behavior for intraspecific communication with potential mates and competitors, using scent and visual markings to advertise their use of a territory and allow potential mates to assess their quality.

An unusual lowest elevation record of snow leopard (Panthera uncia) in Nepal.

Snow Leopard Reports
The snow leopard, Panthera uncia, is a flagship species of the mountainous region in South and Central Asia. In Nepal Himalayas, the species is distributed from 3000 to 6000 m. The present finding of a snow leopard on 23 January 2024 at an elevation of 146 m. in Charghare, Urlabari of Morang District was an unusual record.

Camera-Trap Evidence of <i>Myricaria</i> sp. Consumption and Head-Rubbing by a Wild Snow Leopard (<i>Panthera uncia</i>) in an Alpine Ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Camera‐trap footage from the Shamshy co‐managed nature protected area, Kyrgyzstan, provides the first direct evidence of a wild snow leopard ingesting woody Myricaria sp., often alongside sniffing and head‐rubbing. Species‐specific use—snow leopards feeding in leaf‐poor periods vs.

The effect of environment on intestinal microbial diversity of Panthera animals may exceed genetic relationship

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Intestinal microbes are important symbiotes in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, which are affected by food, environment, climate, genetics, and other factors.

Detection of mange-like skin lesions on snow leopard (Panthera uncia) and prey species in Kyrgyzstan

Journal of Wildlife and Conservation Medicine
Background Parasitic mites are widespread and affect various animal species globally. In naïve populations, they can cause significant enzootic diseases that threaten health and survival.

Variation in craniomandibular morphology and sexual dimorphism in pantherines and the sabercat Smilodon fatalis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Sexual dimorphism is widespread among carnivorans, and has been an important evolutionary factor in social ecology. However, its presence in sabertoothed felids remains contentious.

Species Determination Within the Felidae Family Using mtDNA Minibarcoding. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Wildlife forensic analysis frequently deals with highly degraded DNA samples, including those from tanned hides, processed products of traditional Chinese medicine, and specimens stored in preservation fluids. These samples present significant challenges for traditional DNA barcoding due to the difficulty of amplifying sufficiently long DNA ...

Human Pressure Structures Range Contraction and Recovery Potential of the Snow Leopard. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We developed a spatially explicit framework to quantify how human pressure influences range dynamics in the snow leopard. Our results reveal a consistent spatial filtering effect, where human footprint shapes patterns of contraction, persistence, and recovery potential.
