TL;DR: The results of this study highlight that many corridors may still be functional as there is evidence of contemporary migration and conservation efforts should provide legal status to corridors, use smart green infrastructure to mitigate development impacts, and restore habitats where connectivity has been lost.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used individual-based genetic analysis in combination with landscape permeability models to identify and prioritize movement corridors across seven tiger populations within the Central Indian Landscape, and found that the covariates that best explained tiger occupancy were large, remote, dense forest patches; large ungulate abundance, and low human footprint.

TL;DR: Despite poor hair morphological difference, forensically informative nucleotide sequencing (FINS) exhibited unambiguous variation among the examined felids and is suggested for differentiating biological samples of closely related wild felids to avoid any false identification of species in illicit trade.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present data on morphometry of skull, body and hair of three wild Canis species that occur in India, which include two wolves (Indian wolf, Canislupuspallipes; and Himalayan wolf, canishimalayensis) and the golden jackal (Canisaureus).
