Effective conservation of species and ecosystems requires the understanding of important
ecological traits, such as dietary habits, food webs, and trophic niches. In diet studies, the …

Accurate analyses of the diets of predators are key to understand trophic interactions and
defining conservation strategies. Diets are commonly assessed through analysis of non …

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is a cryptic and rare big cat inhabiting Asia's remote and
harsh elevated areas. Its population has decreased across the globe for various reasons …

Abstract The Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii) occurs in small, declining, and highly

Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective
strategies to reduce emerging climate‐related threats. We used the maximum entropy …

Background Large-scale changes in habitat conditions due to human modifications and
climate change require management practices to consider how species communities can …

Large carnivores play a pivotal regulating role in maintaining healthy and balanced
ecosystems; however, most of them are rare and elusive, and knowledge about their …

Direct and indirect interactions among predators affect predator fitness, distribution, and
