Journal ArticleDOI
Vigorous dynamics underlie a stable population of the endangered snow leopard Panthera uncia in Tost Mountains, South Gobi, Mongolia.
Koustubh Sharma,Rana Bayrakcismith,Lkhagvasumberel Tumursukh,Örjan Johansson,Purevsuren Sevger,Thomas M. McCarthy,Charudutt Mishra +6 more
TL;DR: While the current female-bias in the population and the number of cubs born each year seemingly render the study population safe, the vigorous dynamics suggests that the situation can change quickly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large carnivores and low diversity of optimal prey: a comparison of the diets of snow leopards Panthera uncia and wolves Canis lupus in Sarychat-Ertash Reserve in Kyrgyzstan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the summer diets of snow leopards Panthera uncia and wolves Canis lupus in Sarychat-Ertash Reserve in the Tien-Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan, based on analysis of genetically confirmed scats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tiger poaching and trafficking in India: Estimating rates of occurrence and detection over four decades
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically estimate the probability of occurrence of tiger crime and that of detecting it during periods of 3-7 years in the past 40 years in 605 districts of India.

McCarthy,Mikhail Paltsyn,Koustubh Sharma,Charu Mishra,George B. Schaller,Zhi Lu,Steven R. Beissinger +29 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a range-wide, systematic landscape conservation plan for snow leopards, and provided a rigorous and analytically sound basis for further survey and evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size matters: Scale mismatch between space use patterns of tigers and protected area size in a Tropical Dry Forest
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the spatial ecology of the tiger population prior to its local extinction in the tropical dry forests of Panna Tiger Reserve in central India and found that the average annual home range sizes for both males and females were three to four times larger than those reported so far from other tropical habitats in India.
