Abstract: The contraction of the global tiger population over the last 100 years into small, often isolated subpopulations has made them increasingly vulnerable to the impact of disease. Despite this, the...
Abstract: Tigers are one of the most recognized and charismatic predators on earth, yet their habitats have declined, their numbers are low, and substantial threats to their survival persist. Although...
Abstract: Southeast Asia experiences some of the highest deforestation in the world. Loss of tropical forest typically leads to widespread habitat fragmentation, with detrimental effects on dispersal ability and gene...
Abstract: Tigers and other large predatory carnivores have suffered population extirpations and range contractions. This is particularly true for tiger populations in southeastern Asia, which harbours one-third of their remaining...
Abstract: Knowledge of animal movement patterns is invaluable to understanding the spread of diseases among wildlife populations. One example is the recent African swine fever (ASF) outbreak among wild boar...
Abstract: Unsustainable trade in big cats affects all species in the genus, Panthera, and is one of the foremost threats to their conservation. To provide further insight into the impact...
Abstract: Enhancing habitat connectivity is a key strategy for conserving endangered species in anthropogenic landscapes. However, connectivity planning often overlooks the crucial energetic costs to animals of traversing complex terrains....
Abstract: Wildlife conservation and management in human-dominated landscapes are major concerns for wildlife ecologists and managers. The dynamics of human disturbance, combined with seasonal limitations in the availability of nutritious...
Abstract: Southeast Asia experiences some of the highest deforestation in the world. Loss of tropical forest typically leads to widespread habitat fragmentation, with detrimental effects on dispersal ability and gene...
Abstract: The effects of grazing on wildlife have received considerable attention. Depending on factors such as its intensity and duration, grazing can impact higher-level species along the food chain through...
Abstract: Tigers have seen significant population losses due to the degradation and fragmentation of their habitat ranges worldwide. Thus, habitat suitability assessment of such predators is essential for restoring their...
Abstract: The Javan tiger Panthera tigris sondaica and the Bali tiger P. tigris balica were categorized as Extinct on the IUCN Red List in 2008 and 2013, respectively, leaving only...
The conservation management of natural ecosystems in China has significantly improved in recent decades, resulting in the effective protection of wildlife and the restoration of habitats. With the rapid growth...
Background Interaction through movement can be used as a marker to understand and model interspecific and intraspecific species dynamics, and the collective behavior of animals sharing the same space. This...
Abstract: Illegal trade in big cat (Panthera spp.) body parts is a prominent topic in scientific and public discourses concerning wildlife conservation. While illegal trade is generally acknowledged as a...
In this study, we investigate the impact of climate change, encompassing both natural and anthropogenic scenarios, on the Sundarban mangrove ecosystem—the world's largest natural low-lying mangrove habitat—and its implications for...
Abstract: Deforestation is a threat to habitat quality and biodiversity. In intact forests, even small levels of deforestation can have profound consequences for vertebrate biodiversity. The risk hotspots are Borneo,...
Abstract: This paper reports the perspectives and perceptions of Jahai indigenous patrollers and key community members towards the Menraq, a tiger conservation patrolling initiative under which they have been employed,...
Abstract: The Global Tiger Recovery Program has identified enhancing prey populations as a crucial component in achieving its target of doubling wild tiger (Panthera tigris) numbers, as prey density is...
Abstract: From wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in the Serengeti to tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) in the Russian Far East, canine distemper virus (CDV) has been repeatedly identified as a threat...
Abstract: Wire-snare poaching is increasingly recognized as a major threat to endangered large carnivores in Africa and Asia. However, empirical information on the extent and distribution of snaring remains extremely...
Abstract: Big cats, such as Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) and Amur leopards (P. pardus orientalis), are top predators that have evolved specialized traits for hunting and carnivory (Fernandez Moya...
Abstract: The interconnected forest regions along the lower Tumen River, at the Sino-North Korean border, provide critical habitats and corridors for the critically endangered Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis). In...
Abstract: Snares have become a widespread hunting technique, with their indiscriminate nature jeopardizing terrestrial large carnivores. The lack of reliable data on snare distribution hampers an accurate evaluation of the...
Abstract: Polymorphism of nine microsatellite loci in the Sikhote-Alin tiger population was analyzed in the modern and recent historical periods, using blood, excrement, and museum bone samples. Tests for excess...
Abstract: Of all the ways human beings have modified the planet over the last 10,000 years, habitat loss is the most important for other species. To address this most critical...
