Abstract: Ex situ conservation breeding can play an important role in the conservation of rare and threatened species. To achieve this, coordinated conservation breeding programmes, organized regionally or globally, provide...

An open letter from the conservation frontline on Human Tiger Conflict, published in Animal Conservation: The paper argues that successful tiger conservation cannot rely on ecological science alone. While India...

Abstract: Background: Chromosome-level de novo genome assemblies are vital for many aspects of biological research. Despite technological progress, achieving telomere-to-telomere assemblies remains challenging. Long-read data are critical for a contiguous...

Abstract: Assessing the diet of apex predators such as tiger is important, as it provides key ecological information on prey availability and preferences. It helps to understand the effects of...

Abstract: Estimating prey species densities is critical for implementing effective tiger Panthera tigris recovery strategies. Several statistical models exist for density estimation of unmarked species from camera trap data, all...

Abstract: China is effectively achieving the rapid recovery of the wild Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) population and has a strong chance of reestablishing a sustainable population of over 300...

Abstract: Prey activity patterns are believed to be influenced by, among others, daily and seasonal weather conditions and predation risk. Similarly, predator activities may also be influenced by the same...

Abstract: Human–tiger conflict in plantation landscapes remains a critical safety and conservation issue because encounters between workers and tigers can endanger humans while increasing pressure on endangered tiger populations. This...

Abstract: Inbreeding leads to a reduction in genetic diversity and an elevated likelihood of expressing recessive defective genes, which adversely affect the development of the immune system and render individuals...

Abstract: The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) is an endemic species of Indonesia currently classified as Critically Endangered, with fewer than 600 individuals remaining in the wild. Beyond its ecological...

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...
