We investigated the spatial genetic structure of the tiger meta‐population in the S atpura–M
aikal landscape of central I ndia using population‐and individual‐based genetic clustering …

Aim Habitat loss and fragmentation can influence the genetic structure of biological
populations. Large terrestrial predators can often avoid genetic subdivision due to …

There is a great need to develop efficient, noninvasive genetic sampling methods to study
wild populations of multiple, co‐occurring, threatened felids. This is especially important for …

Gene flow is a critical ecological process that must be maintained in order to counteract the
detrimental effects of genetic drift in subdivided populations, with conservation benefits …

Background Large carnivores maintain the stability and functioning of ecosystems.
Currently, many carnivore species face declining population sizes due to natural and …

The analysis of gut microbiota using fecal samples provides a non-invasive approach to
understand the complex interactions between host species and their intestinal bacterial …

Leopard (Panthera pardus) populations on the Chinese Loess Plateau have experienced
severe declines and were once on the verge of extinction. Currently, leopards in the Loess …

Reliable data is fundamentally important for managing large carnivore populations, and vital
for informing hunting quota levels if those populations are subject to trophy hunting. Camera …

Leopard (Panthera pardus) is the most widely distributed and adaptable member of the
family Felidae. Leopard's historic range spanned across nearly 35,000,000 km2 covering all …

In India, six landscapes and source populations that are important for long-term
conservation of Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) have been identified. Except for a few …
