The population descends from a 19th-century northeastern Asian subspecies whose range extended over southeastern Russia, the Korean peninsula, and northeastern China. A molecular genetic survey of nuclear microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA (mtDN...

Hiatal hernia and diaphragmatic eventration in a leopard (Panthera pardus).

A 1-yr-old male leopard (Panthera pardus) presented for intermittent anorexia, emaciation, and generalized muscle wasting. Plain radiographs, ultrasonography, and esophageal endoscopy led to a diagnosis of diaphragmatic eventration with probable concurrent hiatal hernia. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed both diagnoses, and surgical repair and stabilization were performed. After surgery, the ...

Modeling Habitat Requirements of Leopard (Panthera pardus) Using Genetic Algorithm in Golestan National Park

diet of persian leopard (panthera pardus saxicolor pocock, 1927) in sarigol national park, north khorasan province

carnivores play great ecological roles in ecosystems because of placing on top of the food pyramid. food habits of large carnivores are associated with important ecological features such as spatial pattern, movement, habitat selection, social structure, geographical distribution and reproductive success. accordingly, in this study was used scat analysis to determine the diet of persian leopards...
