Long‐term studies on large felids are rare and yet they yield data essential to understanding
the behaviour of species and the factors that facilitate their conservation. We used the most …

The leopard's (Panthera pardus) broad geographic range, remarkable adaptability, and
secretive nature have contributed to a misconception that this species might not be severely …

Earth's old animals are in decline. Despite this, emerging research is revealing the vital
contributions of older individuals to cultural transmission, population dynamics, and …

Understanding the nature of the interactions between humans and wildlife is of vital
importance for conflict mitigation. We equipped five leopards with GPS-collars in …

Leopards have the largest natural distribution of felids, but have lost a third of their historical
range, and their current CITES status is 'Near Threatened'. Leopards are a highly sought …

Human impact is near pervasive across the planet and studies of wildlife populations free of
anthropogenic mortality are increasingly scarce. This is particularly true for large carnivores …

Density estimates for large carnivores derived from camera surveys often have wide
confidence intervals due to low detection rates. Such estimates are of limited value to …

Data on the population dynamics and threats to large carnivores are vital to conservation
efforts, but these are hampered by a paucity of studies. For some species, such as the …

Although interspecific competition plays a principal role in sha** species behaviour and
demography, little is known about the population‐level outcomes of competition between …

Large carnivores face numerous threats, including habitat loss and fragmentation, direct
killing, and prey depletion, leading to significant global range and population declines …
