A range-wide model of landscape connectivity and conservation for the jaguar, Panthera onca
PaperRabinowitz and Zeller built a continental model of jaguar connectivity spanning from Mexico to Argentina, identifying the corridors linking known jaguar populations across the species' entire range. U…

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…

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: 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…
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
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…

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…

The hyoid apparatus and the ability to roar in big cats
PaperWhy can lions and tigers roar while domestic cats and cheetahs cannot? This comparative anatomical study examined the hyoid apparatus, the chain of bones supporting the larynx and tongue, across felid…
