The paper shows CDV persists in Arctic foxes for over a decade and spreads across species and regions, connecting North America to Eurasia.

This study sequenced whole genomes of black-footed cats to analyze their population structure and genetic diversity, finding low diversity but no long runs of homozygosity and evidence of recent population contraction.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of 41 snow leopards to show they have the lowest genetic diversity of any big cat species due to long-term small population size, not recent inbreeding.

The paper examines the ecological and genetic resilience of traditional crops in the Indian Trans Himalaya, finding they are better adapted to local conditions and have greater genetic diversity than introduced crops.

The paper estimates de novo mutation rates in Panthera and Neofelis species using pedigrees, finding rates between 0.5 and 1.4e-08 per generation per base pair.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing of historical and recent lion populations to show population fragmentation and genetic diversity loss in East Africa over the past century.

The paper develops a SNP panel for identifying snow leopard individuals from fecal samples, validated with zoo and field samples, showing high accuracy and utility for population assessment.

This paper develops a SNP selection pipeline, mPCRselect, to design cost-effective SNP panels for population assignment and individual identification in non-model species.

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for the snow leopard, African leopard, and tiger to support evolutionary and conservation research.
