Patterns of Occupancy and Density of the Small Felids of Tropical America
The Neotropical realm harbors 9–14 species of small- and medium-sized felids, depending on taxonomic schemes. Some of these species are poorly known,...

Way to big cats: Directional selection in body size evolution in living felids
Body size correlates with various biological attributes. Hence, its evolution has attracted considerable attention. The family Felidae (Mammalia:...

A Diverse Metailurine Guild from the Latest Miocene Xingjiawan Fauna, Yongdeng, Northwestern China, and Generic Differentiation of Metailurine Felids
A collection with several complete crania and mandibles recently found in the Latest Miocene Xingjiawan Fauna, Yongdeng, northeastern China enables a...

Collaborative behaviour and coalitions in male jaguars (Panthera onca)—evidence and comparison with other felids
AbstractMost large felids are classified as solitary species, with only lions ( Panthera leo ) and cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus ) exhibiting social,...

Small Wild Felids of South America: A Review of Studies, Conservation Threats, and Research Needs
A total of nine small wild felid species can be found in a diversity of habitats in South America. Hierarchical models (HM) can be used to estimate...
-
Effects of climate change on the distribution of felids: mapping biogeographic patterns and establishing conservation priorities
Climate changes may threaten the survival of felids by driving range shifts, altering the biogeographical characteristics of their existing range,...
-
Density trends of wild felids in northern Laos
Determining the density trends of a guild of species can help illuminate their interactions, and the impacts that humans might have on them. We...

Morphometric Analysis of the Mandible of Primitive Sabertoothed Felids from the late Miocene of Spain
How sabertoothed felids have evolved their iconic morphology remains unclear because of the patchy fossil record of early machairodontines....
-
Temporal partitioning by felids, dholes and their potential prey in northern Laos
Temporal partitioning can allow sympatric carnivores to coexist, especially if overlap of other resources is high. Using camera trap data from 2013...
-
Density of wild felids in Sonora, Mexico: a comparison of spatially explicit capture-recapture methods
Estimates of population density are crucial for wild felid conservation and are commonly conducted using camera trapping. Spatially explicit...

Felids, forest and farmland: identifying high priority conservation areas in Sumatra
ContextEffective planning for protected areas and wildlife population management requires a firm understanding of the location of the species’ core...

Black-and-white pelage as visually protective coloration in colobus monkeys
AbstractConspicuous coloration is often seen as the evolutionary consequence of either sexual selection or warning predators visually about prey...

Pathogen Transmission and the Risk of Spillover for Wild Carnivores in the Neotropics
Humans are rapidly transforming whole ecosystems by deforestation, habitat fragmentation, pollution, and climate change, among others. Increased...

Pulmonary acinar adenocarcinoma in a captive lioness (Panthera leo)
Neoplasms in wild felids are more frequently observed in captive animals, of which clinicopathological features of pulmonary tumors are not commonly...

New insights on the ecology and behavior of Machairodus aphanistus (Carnivora, Felidae, Machairodontinae) through the paleopathological study of the fossil sample from the Late Miocene (Vallesian, MN 10) of Cerro de los Batallones (Torrejón de Velasco, Madrid, Spain)
The Late Miocene natural traps of Cerro de los Batallones (Madrid, Spain) have yielded thousands of fossils of vertebrates, mostly carnivoran mammals...

The Sacro-Iliac Joint of the Felidae and Canidae and Their Large Ungulate Prey: An Example of Divergence and Convergence
The aim of this chapter is to discuss the evolution of the shape of the sacroiliac joint in two carnivoran lineages (Felidae and Canidae) and their...

Blotched stripe patterns in fishing cats of Godavari delta region, India
Many felids in the wild and in captivity have blotched stripe patterns. For the first time, we report the presence of a blotched pattern in the...

Impact of predator model presentation paradigms on titi monkey alarm sequences
AbstractPredator presentation experiments are widely used to investigate animal alarm vocalizations. They usually involve presentations of predator...

Changes in Serum Amyloid A Level in Domestic Cats during Pregnancy
AbstractReproduction of endangered species in captivity is an urgent problem for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity. For mammals,...

Body mass ratios determine dietary patterns and help predicting predator–prey interactions of Neotropical Carnivora
Mammalian carnivores are particularly relevant for ecosystem functioning, but for many Neotropical species, dietary information is scarce or unevenly...
