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: Conflicts between wildlife and humans, particularly among residents living within and adjacent protected areas, represent a pervasive global conservation challenge. Effectively addressing these conflicts has become a critical issue...
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: The last Far Eastern leopards survived at the junction of the Southwest of Primorsky Krai in Russia and the Laoyeling-Dalongling in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces in China. By the...
Abstract: A four-month female leopard cub (Panthera pardus), rescued from a residential area in Kaliyal, Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, India with exhibited sign of dullness, convulsions, seizures, and profuse salivation was...
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: Background Apex predators exert dual effects on mesopredators, including both suppression through lethal encounters and fear, as well as facilitation through providing food via prey remains. While large-scale studies...
Abstract: Tiger conservation is a global priority, and Nepal’s program has achieved notable success. However, rapid population growth has intensified human–wildlife conflicts. This study assessed the socio-economic costs of rising...
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...
