Non-invasive genetic techniques utilising DNA extracted from faeces hold great promise for
felid conservation research. These methods can be used to establish species distributions …

The editors utilize their 50 years of combined experience in professional engagement with
the behaviour and ecology of wild felids to draw together a unique network of the world's …

Coprolites are among the faunal traces of the archaeological and paleontological fossil
record. This is the first study of multiple proxies in herbivore coprolites from the South …

There is a great need to develop efficient, noninvasive genetic sampling methods to study
wild populations of multiple, co‐occurring, threatened felids. This is especially important for …

Background While numerous studies revealed the major role of environmental changes of
the Quaternary on the evolution of biodiversity, research on the influence of that period on …

We review the current distribution of the Andean cat Oreailurus jacobita and the pampas cat
Lynchailurus colocolo in Peru and present 30 new records of the Andean cat and 268 of the …

Many ecological studies and conservation management plans employ noninvasive scat
sampling based on the assumption that species' scats can be correctly identified in the field …

Faeces similarity among sympatric felid species has generally hampered their use in
distributional, demographic and dietary studies. Here, we present a new and simple …

The Andean cat Leopardus jacobita is considered one of the rarest felids in the world,
although it has a large latitudinal distribution. Due to its preference for upland habitats, it has …

Abstract Background The order Carnivora is well represented in India, with 58 of the 250
species found globally, occurring here. However, small carnivores figure very poorly in …
