Genome-Wide Signatures of Complex Introgression and Adaptive Evolution in the Big Cats
PaperThis study analyzed genomes across the genus Panthera and found pervasive evidence of ancient gene flow among the big-cat lineages, demonstrating that their evolution was reticulate rather than strict…

Research overview: origin and diversification of the Panthera lineage
OverviewThe Panthera lineage contains the roaring cats and their relatives and represents the earliest branch of the modern felid radiation. This overview surveys genetic and fossil evidence for an Asian orig…
Research overview: the evolution of roaring in big cats
OverviewThe ability to roar distinguishes the genus Panthera and is tied to specialized anatomy of the larynx and a flexible hyoid apparatus, while smaller cats purr instead. This overview surveys the anatomi…
Supermatrix and Species Tree Methods Resolve Relationships Within Panthera
PaperThe big cats of the genus Panthera proved historically difficult to resolve because of rapid speciation and conflicting gene trees. This study assembled a large multilocus supermatrix and applied both…
