    Paijmans et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2018) 18:156 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1268-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Historical biogeography of the leopard (Panthera pardus) and its extinct Eurasian populations Johanna L. A. Paijmans1* , Axel Barlow1, Daniel W. Förster2, Kirstin Henneberger1, Matthias Meyer3, Birgit Nickel3, Doris Nagel4, Rasmus Worsøe Havmøller5, Gennady F. Baryshnikov6, Ulrich Joger7, Wilfried Rosendahl8 and Michael Hofreiter1 Abstract Background: Resolving the historical biogeography of the leopard (Panthera pardus) is a complex issue, because patterns inferred from fossils and from molecular data lack congruence. Fossil evidence supports an African origin, and suggests that leopards were already present in Eurasia during the Early Pleistocene. Analysis of DNA sequences however, suggests a more recent, Middle Pleistocene shared ancestry of Asian and African leopards. These contrasting patterns led researchers to propose a two-stage hypothesis of leopard dispersal out of Africa: an initial Early Pleistocene colonisation of Asia and a subsequent replacement by a second colonisation wave during the Middle Pleistocene. The status of Late Pleistocene European leopards within this scenario is unclear: were these populations remnants of the first dispersal, or do the last surviving European leopards share more recent ancestry with their African counterparts? Results: In this study, we generate and analyse mitogenome sequences from historical samples that span the entire modern leopard distribution, as well as from Late Pleistocene remains. We find a deep bifurcation between African and Eurasian mitochondrial lineages (~ 710 Ka), with the European ancient samples as sister to all Asian lineages (~ 483 Ka). The modern and historical mainland Asian lineages share a relatively recent common ancestor (~ 122 Ka), and we find one Javan sample nested within these.

However, they are prone to 39 extinction because of low population densities and growth rates, large area requirements, and 40 high levels of persecution or exploitation. In tropical biodiversity hotspots such as Peninsular 41 Malaysia, rapid conversion of natural habitats threatens the persistence of this vulnerable 42 group of animals. Here, we carried out the first comprehensive literature review on 31 43 carnivore species reported to occur in Peninsular Malaysia and updated their probable 44 distribution.

We find that not only are several subspecies and regional populations critically endangered but also the overall range loss is greater than the average for terrestrial large carnivores. 31 December 2015 Submitted To assess the leopard’s status, we compile 6,000 records at 2,500 locations Accepted 5 April 2016 Published 4May2016 from over 1,300 sources on its historic (post 1750) and current distribution.

UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC5/Inf.8 CONSERVATION OF THE CHEETAH ACINONYX JUBATUS IN ASIA AND NORTH-EASTERN AFRICA 1. Introduction The Cheetah Acinonyx jubatus was listed on Appendix I of CMS in 2009 (excluding the populations of Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe). The Cheetah in Africa (with four African subspecies A. j. jubatus (Southern Africa), A. j. raineyi (Eastern Africa), A. j. hecki (North-Western Africa), and A. j. soemmeringii (North-Eastern Africa)) is furthermore one of the four species of the Joint CITES-CMS African Carnivores Initiative (ACI) (CMS 2021). The Asiatic Cheetah (A. j. venaticus) is a subspecies considered under the CMS Central Asian Mammals Initiative (CAMI; https://www.cms.int/cami/en/species) and subject of "Species-specific Measures" in the in the Pro- gramme of Work (2021-2026) for CAMI (annexed to Resolution 11.24 (Rev.COP13)).
