Human-felid conflict: a review of patterns and priorities worldwide
ReviewInskip and Zimmermann produced a comprehensive global review of conflict between people and wild cats, synthesising the geography, drivers, and severity of conflict across all felid species. They iden…

Maximum entropy modeling of species geographic distributions
PaperThis paper introduced the MaxEnt method, a maximum-entropy approach for modeling species distributions from presence-only data, which became one of the most widely used tools in the field. Because muc…

Research overview: climate refugia concepts in felid conservation planning
OverviewClimate refugia, places relatively buffered from climate change where species can persist, are an increasingly central organizing idea in conservation planning. This overview surveys the typology of r…
Research overview: comparative analysis of coexistence successes and failures
OverviewThis overview synthesises comparative studies that contrast successful and unsuccessful big-cat coexistence efforts to distil transferable lessons. It reviews analyses spanning lion, snow leopard, tig…
Research overview: design and pitfalls of livestock-depredation compensation schemes
OverviewThis overview synthesises the theory and practice of compensating farmers for livestock killed by big cats as a tolerance-building tool. It reviews recurring design challenges: verifying claims to pre…
Research overview: future directions in human-big cat coexistence research
OverviewThis overview synthesises emerging priorities and frontiers in human-big cat conflict and coexistence research. It reviews calls for more rigorous impact evaluation, greater integration of social scie…
Research overview: landscape and husbandry predictors of livestock depredation
OverviewThis overview synthesises studies identifying which landscape and management variables predict where big cats kill livestock, a recurring quantitative question across conflict research. It reviews con…
Research overview: payments for ecosystem services and predator conservation
OverviewThis overview reviews how payments-for-ecosystem-services (PES) frameworks have been adapted to compensate communities for hosting large carnivores, treating predator presence as a service worth rewar…
Research overview: spatial resolution and scale effects in felid habitat models
OverviewThe grain and extent at which a habitat model is built strongly influence its conclusions, a key consideration for wide-ranging cats. This overview surveys how the choice of spatial resolution, from c…
Research overview: tourism benefits and their effect on tolerance for big cats
OverviewThis overview synthesises research on whether wildlife-tourism revenue increases local tolerance for big cats by offsetting conflict costs. It reviews cases from jaguar tourism in the Pantanal, lion t…
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…
