Genome-wide signatures of complex introgression and adaptive evolution in big cats
PaperThis genomic study sequenced multiple Panthera species and found pervasive evidence that gene flow between lineages, not just simple branching, shaped big cat evolution. The authors detected introgres…

Molecular evolution of mitochondrial sequences in the pantherine cats
PaperAn early molecular study of the big cats that used mitochondrial 12S rRNA and cytochrome b sequences to probe relationships within the Panthera group. This work was among the first to apply DNA sequen…

Phylogeography and conservation genetics of jaguars (Panthera onca)
PaperThis study analyzed mitochondrial and microsatellite variation across the jaguar's range from Mexico to Argentina and found relatively shallow genetic structure with no support for the many traditiona…

Research overview: the jaguar's position among the big cats
OverviewThe jaguar, the only Panthera species in the Americas, occupies an informative position in big cat phylogeny. This overview explains how molecular data place the jaguar within the genus Panthera, clos…
Supermatrix and species-tree methods resolve relationships within Panthera
PaperRelationships among the big cats long resisted resolution because of short internal branches and conflicting markers. This study assembled a large multi-gene dataset and applied both concatenated supe…
