  2. The Biology and Conservation of Wild Felids by David Macdonald & Andrew Loveridge, 2010

    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 most respected and knowledgeable experts. For the first time, this inter-disciplinary research programme is brought together within a single volume.

  3. DNA in the feces of snow leopards shows alpine #cats eat plants phys.org/news/2024-06-dna-fece

    Metabarcoding analysis provides insight into the link between prey and plant intake in a large alpine cat carnivore, the snow leopard royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "#felids do eat #plants despite their classification as #carnivores. In particular, Panthera uncia—or snow #leopards—seem to have a preference for a specific plant... The plant genus #Myricaria appeared the most frequently"

  10. #Texas is the only state with a breeding population of #MountainLions that has virtually no protections for the species. Males, females, and cubs can all be killed year-round, with no limits on harvest. Texas is the only state of the sixteen with breeding populations that allows recreational trapping.

  11. Assessing the ecological suitability of the #Irish landscape for the Eurasian #lynx.

    "For Ireland to be capable of sustaining a viable population of lynx, there must be enhancement of both #habitat availability and #connectivity, through coherent landscape-scale woodland restoration."

  12. What Have #Cats Got to do With #ClimateChange? An Interview with Dr. John Goodrich

    Chief Scientist at global wild cat #conservation organisation, #Panthera, Dr. Goodrich says that wild cat species can provide the missing link between #biodiversity loss, climate change and human health; by protecting them, we are protecting ourselves and the planet too.
