Abstract: Chemical cues play an important role in mammalian communication, often reflecting an individual’s physiological state. Non-invasive sampling of such informative cues holds great potential for wildlife monitoring. Endangered apex...

Abstract: Age structure is a key determinant of population dynamics and conservation management in wildlife, yet reliable age estimation typically depends on invasive sampling. Epigenetic clocks enable DNA-based age prediction...

Abstract: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused a global public health emergency in humans from 2020 to 2023 and was associated with over 7 million human deaths. Besides humans,...

Abstract: Protected areas are a hallmark of conservation, yet their ability to support endangered species can be compromised by human use in adjacent lands. In the Russian Far East, a...

Abstract: Accurate, non-invasive individual identification is critical for endangered Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) conservation. However, it remains challenging due to pose variability in stripe patterns and inconsistent imaging conditions....

Abstract: Habitat loss and degradation are the leading threats to the continuation of the isolated Asian tiger (Panthera tigris) population. In 2010, the Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP) committed to...

Abstract: The rebound of tiger populations in Nepal over the last decade has renewed hope for species conservation but also heightened the risk of conflict where humans and tigers coexist....

Abstract: Despite pressing conservation and humanitarian concerns regarding the sustainability of natural resource exploitation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), reliable information is extremely limited as North...

Abstract: Introduction: The construction of a species’ family pedigree is crucial for understanding population structure, assessing genetic diversity, and conserving the genetic resources of endangered species. However, developing non-invasive and...

Abstract: The tiger Panthera tigris is an apex predator categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The availability of sufficient prey is a key requirement for its survival. The...

Abstract: Tigers still face threats because of anthropogenic activities, including wildlife tourism and cattle grazing in tiger reserves. Previous studies have shown that human-related activities can impact gut health in...

Abstract: The plastisphere, as a microbial niche on plastics, exacerbates ecological risks to biodiversity in critical habitats like the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, a sanctuary for endangered Amur...

Abstract: Demand for tiger parts and products, especially tiger bone glue, has fuelled the illegal tiger trade and the proliferation of tiger farms in some Asian countries. Despite the importance...

Abstract: Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) involving megafauna is a global conservation concern. In the tropical lowlands of Nepal (Terai), the megafauna populations are increasing due to successful conservation efforts, introducing the...

Abstract: In Russia, range‐wide winter track surveys of the Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) are conducted every ten years using a standardized methodology based on snow track measurements. The southwestern...
