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…

Prey preferences of the snow leopard (Panthera uncia)
PaperApplying the prey-preference framework to high-mountain Asia, Lyngdoh and colleagues compiled snow leopard diet records across the species' range and weighted them by prey availability. They found sno…

Research overview: evolution and phylogeny of vocal anatomy across the cat family
OverviewVocal abilities are distributed across the felid family tree in informative ways, and this overview reviews the evolution of cat vocal anatomy. Mapping hyoid structure and laryngeal features onto feli…
Research overview: genomics and high-altitude adaptation of the snow leopard
OverviewThe snow leopard inhabits the high mountains of Central and South Asia and is the most basal or near-basal member of the genus Panthera in many analyses. This overview surveys genomic studies examinin…
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 snow leopard and exceptions to the roaring rule
OverviewThe snow leopard belongs to the roaring lineage yet does not roar, and this overview reviews this exception and what it reveals. Although a member of Panthera, the snow leopard lacks the fully develop…
Research overview: why big cats roar but cannot purr continuously, and vice versa
OverviewThe roaring big cats and the purring small cats appear to form complementary groups, and this overview reviews the basis and limits of this divide. The flexible, incompletely ossified hyoid and specia…
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…
