Small felids play pivotal roles in India's ecosystems, regulating prey populations, facilitating
nutrient transfer, and safeguarding critical habitats. Despite their ecological significance …

Aim Maintaining connectivity is critical for long‐term persistence of wild carnivores in
landscapes fragmented due to anthropogenic activity. We examined spatial genetic structure …

Although signal characteristics and sensory systems are predicted to co-evolve according to
environmental constraints, this hypothesis has not been tested for acoustic signalling across …

Clouded leopards are one of the least known of larger felids and were believed to be extinct
in Nepal until 1987. They are particularly interesting because their Asian range spans a …

Phylogenetically closely related species are often assumed to have similar responses to
environmental conditions, but species-specific responses have also been described. These …

Co-occurrence and spatial and temporal overlap of sympatric jungle and leopard cats are
influenced by habitat preferences, and interspecific competition. Understanding these …

Dry deciduous dipterocarp forests (DDF) cover about 15%–20% of Southeast Asia and are
the most threatened forest type in the region. The jungle cat (Felis chaus) is a DDF specialist …

Despite appreciable advances in carnivore ecology, studies on small cats remain limited
with carnivore research in India being skewed towards large cats. Small cats are more …

Aim Identifying appropriate conservation measures requires a reasonable understanding of
a species' population status, distribution and vulnerability. However, for many species, these …

The Jungle Cat Felis chaus is classified as critically endangered in Jordan due to its limited
distribution and presumed population decline. We present new evidence for its presence in …
