🧬 The Felid Wiki — 3,000 research summaries

Climate change interacts with urbanisation to reshape the conditions felids face near cities, altering prey availability, water resources, heat exposure, fire regimes and the viability of corridors. T…

From leopards in Mumbai to pumas in Los Angeles, caracals in Cape Town and fishing cats in Colombo, a remarkable diversity of felids inhabits the worlds cities, offering a comparative window on urban…

Tea, coffee and rubber plantations across South and Southeast Asia form extensive human-modified habitats used by leopards, leopard cats, jungle cats and fishing cats with varying tolerance. This over…

The fishing cat is one of the few wild felids to persist within a Asian capital, surviving in the marshes, canals and waterways threaded through metropolitan Colombo, Sri Lanka. This overview synthesi…

Vehicle collisions are a leading direct cause of death for felids in human-dominated landscapes worldwide, from pumas on Los Angeles freeways to leopard cats on Taiwan rural roads and fishing cats in…

The genus Prionailurus includes not only leopard cats but also the fishing cat and flat-headed cat, specialized wetland felids. This overview examines their placement within the leopard cat lineage an…

Water sources and riparian corridors are disproportionately important to felids in human-dominated landscapes, providing drinking water, prey, cover and movement routes through otherwise hostile devel…

Fishing cats are tightly bound to wetlands, with partially webbed feet and fish-catching behaviour that make them among the most habitat-specialised felids and therefore acutely vulnerable to wetland…

Shepherdson, Carlstead, Mellen and Seidensticker tested whether changing how food is presented could enrich the behaviour of small captive cats. Instead of single predictable meals, they provided food…
