Several mitogenomic approaches have been employed to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of the Pantherine cats but the phylogeny has remained largely unresolved till date. One of the major reasons for the difficulty in resolving the phylogenetic tree of Pantherine cats is the small sample size. While previous studies included only 5-10 samples, we have used 43 publically available taxa to reconstruct Pantherine phylogenetic history. Complete mtDNA sequences were used from all individuals excluding the control region (15,489bp). A Bayesian MCMC approach was employed to investigate the divergence times among different Pantherine clades. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogeny generated a dendrogram: Neofelis nebulosa (Panthera tigris (Panthera onca (Panthera uncia (Panthera leo, Panthera pardus)))), grouping lions with leopards and placing snow leopards as an outgroup to this clade.

  • 3.4 ORDER CARNIVORA Bowdich, 1821
    3.4 ORDER CARNIVORA Bowdich, 1821 3.4.1 Family Ursidae Fischer, 1817 There are eight species of bears in the world: - American Black Bear Ursus americanus - Brown Bear Ursus arctos - Polar Bear Ursus maritimus - Sloth Bear Melursus ursinus - Spectacled Bear Tremarctos ornatus - Giant Panda Ailuropoda melanoleuca - Asiatic Black Bear Ursus thibetanus - Malayan Sun Bear Helarctos malayanus The last two species are the only members of the family Ursidae known in Southeast Asia. They differ from each other by their furs and body sizes and both are threatened with extinction (Nowak, 1991; Corbet & Hill 1992). Bears have relatively undeveloped carnassial teeth; narrow premolars, crushing molars with flat crowns and large robust canines. 127 3.4.1.1 Subfamily Ursinae Fischer, 1817, Plate 3(A1 to B3) As mentioned above, two genera and two species represent the subfamily Ursinae in Southeast Asia, namely: - Malayan Sun Bear (Figure 3.8, A), Ursus/Helarctos malayanus (Raffles, 1821) with the scientific name Ursu and synonym Helarctos is distributed in the south west of China, Assam, Myanmar, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, to the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. It is the smallest of all bears found in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. - Asiatic Black Bear (Figure 3.8, B), Ursus thibetanus Cuvier, 1823 is mainly localized in the Himalayas, Afghanistan to southern China, Myanmar, northern Thailand and Indochina. It has several alternative names including Asiatic Black Bear, Himalayan Black Bear, Moon Bear and inhabits mountain forests.

  • Late Pleistocene Panthera Leo Spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) Skeletons
    Late Pleistocene Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) skeletons from the Czech Republic (central Europe); their pathological cranial features and injuries resulting from intraspecific fights, conflicts with hyenas, and attacks on cave bears CAJUS G. DIEDRICH The world’s first mounted “skeletons” of the Late Pleistocene Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) from the Sloup Cave hyena and cave bear den in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic, central Europe) are compilations that have used bones from several different individuals. These skeletons are described and compared with the most complete known skeleton in Europe from a single individual, a lioness skeleton from the hyena den site at the Srbsko Chlum-Komín Cave in the Bohemian Karst (Czech Republic). Pathological features such as rib fractures and brain-case damage in these specimens, and also in other skulls from the Zoolithen Cave (Germany) that were used for comparison, are indicative of intraspecific fights, fights with Ice Age spotted hyenas, and possibly also of fights with cave bears. In contrast, other skulls from the Perick and Zoolithen caves in Germany and the Urșilor Cave in Romania exhibit post mortem damage in the form of bites and fractures probably caused either by hyena scavenging or by lion cannibalism. In the Srbsko Chlum-Komín Cave a young and brain-damaged lioness appears to have died (or possibly been killed by hyenas) within the hyena prey-storage den. In the cave bear dominated bone-rich Sloup and Zoolithen caves of central Europe it appears that lions may have actively hunted cave bears, mainly during their hibernation. Bears may have occasionally injured or even killed predating lions, but in contrast to hyenas, the bears were herbivorous and so did not feed on the lion car- casses.

  • Prey Preference and Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Snow Leopard and Tibetan Wolf in Central Part of Wangchuck Centennial National Park
    Prey Preference and Dietary overlap of Sympatric Snow leopard and Tibetan Wolf in Central Part of Wangchuck Centennial National Park Yonten Jamtsho Wangchuck Centennial National Park Department of Forest and Park Services Ministry of Agriculture and Forest 2017 Abstract Snow leopards have been reported to kill livestock in most parts of their range but the extent of this predation and its impact on local herders is poorly understood. There has been even no effort in looking at predator-prey relationships and often we make estimates of prey needs based on studies from neighboring regions. Therefore this study is aimed at analysing livestock depredation, diets of snow leopard and Tibetan wolf and its implication to herder’s livelihood in Choekhortoe and Dhur region of Wangchuck Cetennial National Park. Data on the livestock population, frequency of depredation, and income lost were collected from a total of 38 respondents following census techniques. In addition scats were analysed to determine diet composition and prey preferences. The results showed 38 herders rearing 2815 heads of stock with average herd size of 74.07 stocks with decreasing trend over the years due to depredation. As a result Choekhortoe lost 8.6% while Dhur lost 5.07% of total annual income. Dietary analysis showed overlap between two species indicated by Pianka index value of 0.83 for Dhur and 0.96 for Choekhortoe. The prey preference for snow leopard and Tibetan wolf are domestic sheep and blue sheep respectively, where domestic sheep is an income for herders and blue sheep is important for conservation of snow leopard.

  • Working with the Public: How an Unusual Museum Enquiry Turned Into Travels Through Time and Space
    Freedman, J and Evans, J 2015 Working with the Public: How an Unusual Museum Enquiry Turned into Travels Through Time and Space. Open Quaternary, 1: 8, pp. 1–14, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/oq.ah ENGAGEMENT PAPER Working with the Public: How an Unusual Museum Enquiry Turned into Travels Through Time and Space Jan Freedman* and Jane Evans† This article has been corrected here: Museum enquiries offer a unique opportunity to engage on a one-to-one level with members of the pub- lic. This paper covers an unusual enquiry from 2013 of an unknown tooth that was brought into Plym- outh City Museum and Art Gallery for identification. We highlight how museum enquiries can engage with members of the public by involving them directly with original scientific research. The tooth was found in a garden in Plymouth with no associated data of about where it originated. We identified the tooth, and the enquirer researched the history of the house. The tooth gave the appearance of a sub-fossil so with the large number of Quaternary sites in Plymouth, together with the identifica- tion of the previous owner on the site, there were valid reasons to undertake testing of the tooth to determine its origin. Strontium (Sr) isotope analysis of the tooth was carried out to determine if the tooth was British and radiocarbon dating was undertaken to work out the age of the tooth. The 87Sr /86Sr of the leopard tooth gave a value of 0.716131, with Sr concentrations at 568ppm. This is a high concentration of Sr ppm relative to other British data, suggesting a non-British origin.

  • Caspian Tiger Fact Sheet
    Caspian Tiger Fact Sheet Common Name: Caspian Tiger Scientific Name: Panthera tigris tigris Wild Status: Extinct Habitat: Wetlands Country: Various countries in Central Asia and the Middle East Shelter: Trees Life Span: Unknown Size: 10ft long Details The story of the Caspian Tiger is a familiar one. Human expansion and hunting drove the number of Caspian Tigers down to dangerous levels, with some paying generously for their furs. Individual sightings became special occasions. The last observed Caspian Tiger was seen in the 70s, with the species being declared extinct in 2003. Like with many animals, efforts were made to protect the species before its extinction, which may have extended their lives for a few decades. A protected area called Trigovaya Balka was home to Caspian Tigers until 1958, when the last individual was seen. Cool Facts • Like all tigers, the Caspian Tiger was a carnivore who rarely, if ever, fed on plants • Their population seems to have been dispersed randomly, due to fragmentation by humans. • This species has been spotted in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, China, Russia, Georgia, and Kazakhstan. • Most likely hunted boars and deer, sometimes approaching civilization to eat cattle and dogs • Like many extinct species, a combination of hunting and loss of habitat doomed the Caspian Tiger • Like most big cats, their only predator was likely humans Taxonomic Breakdown Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Suborder: Feliformia Family: Felidae Subfamily: Pantherinae Genus: Panthera Species: P. tigris Subspecies: P. t. tigris Conservation & Helping Extinct, with some efforts to bring it back, much like the Quagga. Tigers in the Amur river, also home to the Amur Leopard, have been found to be close enough genetically to the Caspian Tiger to occupy the same niche.
