Big competition for small spots? Conspecific density drives home range size in male and female leopards

N. le Roex et al.

Summary: Variation in home range size exists among and within wildlife populations, driven by factors like sex, food resources, and competition. In this study, male leopard home ranges were larger than females', with space-use influenced by short-term changes in conspecific density for both sexes. Long-term prey availability and refugia further impacted female space-use, while males were more influenced by short-term drivers.

Estimating leopard density across the highly modified human-dominated landscape of the Western Cape, South Africa

Carolyn H. Devens et al.

Summary: Leopards play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem health but are vulnerable to habitat degradation and mortality. A study in South Africa's Western Cape province found leopard density to be 0.35-1.18 individuals per 100 square kilometers, with a predicted population size of 102-345 individuals. Providing a baseline population density estimate is crucial for understanding population dynamics and conservation efforts.

The effects of prey depletion on dietary niches of sympatric apex predators in Southeast Asia

Robert Steinmetz et al.

Summary: Resource depletion causes apex predators in Asia to shift from preferred larger prey to smaller, less profitable prey in order to adapt to dwindling resources. Despite this shift, these predators are able to avoid competitive exclusion by partitioning a depleted prey base through species-specific traits that facilitate the capture of different types of alternative prey. This highlights the adaptive foraging behavior and intrinsic niche differences that contribute to the resilience of endangered apex predators in response to prey depletion in poached forests.

Dependence of the leopard Panthera pardus fusca in Jaipur, India, on domestic animals

Swapnil Kumbhojkar et al.

Summary: Research in the Jhalana Reserve Forest in Jaipur, India, has shown that leopards there primarily depend on domestic animals as prey, with dogs, cats, goats, and cattle being the main sources of food. While they also consume wild species, the abundance of domestic prey sustains the population of around 25 leopards in the urban environment.

A triple threat: high population density, high foraging intensity and flexible habitat preferences explain high impact of feral cats on prey

Rowena P. Hamer et al.

Summary: Research has shown that alien mammalian carnivores, such as feral cats and red foxes, have disproportionately contributed to the global loss of biodiversity. In Australia, predation by these alien species poses a significant threat to native vertebrates. Feral cats, in particular, have greater impacts on prey compared to native predators due to their higher population densities, intense home-range use, and broad habitat preferences.

Density estimation of tiger and leopard using spatially explicit capture-recapture framework

Tahir Ali Rather et al.

Summary: This study utilized the SECR framework to estimate the density of tigers and leopards, finding that leopard density is influenced by road density, terrain ruggedness, and habitat type, while tiger density is affected by the mix of cropland and natural vegetation. The results support the idea that large carnivores can maintain moderate densities in human-dominated regions and highlight the necessity of maintaining wild prey around protected areas for the survival of large and endangered carnivores in buffer zones.

Leopard population density varies across habitats and management strategies in a mixed-use Tanzanian landscape

Charlotte E. Searle et al.

Summary: This study compares leopard population densities across different components of a mixed-use landscape in Tanzania. The highest densities were found in the core tourist area of Ruaha National Park and a neighboring community-managed area, with population density strongly correlated with prey abundance. The findings suggest that prey availability is the main driver of leopard density variations in different habitats.

Home range variation in leopards living across the human density gradient

Matthew H. Snider et al.

Summary: The study compared the home range size of leopards under different environmental conditions, revealing that leopard home range size is influenced by landscape productivity, gender, and human population density.
