Leopard population declines largely occur in areas where leopards and people frequently
interact. Research on how leopards respond to human presence and competitors, like other …

Poaching, a major threat to wildlife worldwide, is pushing species toward extinction. To
reduce poaching pressure and combat biodiversity loss, improved law-enforcement efforts …

We investigated the factors facilitating co-occurrence of two large carnivores, tigers
(Panthera tigris) and common leopards (Panthera pardus), within a human-dominated …

Background Nepal provides habitat for approximately 100–125 wild Asian elephants
(Elephas maximus). Although a small proportion of the world population of this species, this …

The rapidly declining tropical forests of Asia support a diversity of felid species, many of
which are rare and little known. We used camera traps in Dampa Tiger Reserve (TR) …

The source populations of tigers are mostly confined to protected areas, which are now
becoming isolated. A landscape scale conservation strategy should strive to facilitate …

Apex predators play a critical role in maintaining the health of ecosystems but are highly
susceptible to habitat degradation and loss caused by land-use changes, and to …

Estimates of population density are crucial for wild felid conservation and are commonly
conducted using camera trapping. Spatially explicit capture-recapture (SCR) survey designs …

Better conservation planning requires updated information about leopard distribution to
prioritize and allocate limited resources available. The long-term persistence of leopards …

Robust measures of animal densities are necessary for effective wildlife management.
Leopards (Panthera pardus) and spotted hyenas (Crocuta Crocuta) are higher order …
