Simple Summary Habitat fragmentation is an important factor leading to the decline in the
leopard cat population in Bei**g. Habitat loss may further result in population shrinkage …

Simple Summary This study presents an integrated conservation framework for the globally
threatened fishing cat, synthesizing both ex situ management and in situ strategies. The …

Effective conservation strategy for a species can be established based on population
differentiation patterns. The results of population genetic analyses have been useful in the …

Since the late Pleistocene, species in the order Carnivora have experienced a drastic
reduction in their populations and distributions. However, the global genetic diversity …

We examined genetic diversity of the wild Tsushima leopard cat—a regional population of
the Amur leopard cat—using microsatellite markers. In addition, we compared genetic …

To optimize conservation efforts, it is necessary to determine the risk of extinction by
collecting reliable population information for a given species. We developed eight novel …

Aims: The composition of gut microbiota of wild animals is most influenced by food types and
genetic background. This study aimed to investigate gut bacterial composition of leopard cat …

Species assignment of any seized material using DNA analysis has been a routine and
widely accepted standard procedure in providing scientific advisory for the legal prosecution …

In the face of habitat shrinkage and segregation, the survival of wild cats looks bleak.
Interpreting the population genetic structure during habitat fragmentation is critical to …

Materials and methods A total of 32 specimens of S. pharaonis were collected from
