the leopard (panthera pardus) as an adaptable felid widely distributed in varied ecosystems of iran. the golestan natural park is one of the main habitats of leopard in the country. it has divers diet and preying various types of preys such as wild ungulate and livestock. the prey remains’ samples of leopard were collected and preserved using ethanol 96% and whole genomic dna was extracted. the...

Objectives: LEOPARD syndrome is a rare congenital disease that can manifest with cardiac anomalies, multiple lentigines, ocular hypertelorism, growth retardation, and deafness. The purpose of this case series was to review the most prominent comorbidities associated with LEOPARD syndrome, and describe perioperative outcomes in a series of patients undergoing anesthesia. Design: Retrospective ca...

The endangered snow leopard is a large felid that is distributed over 1.83 million km(2) globally. Throughout its range it relies on a limited number of prey species in some of the most inhospitable landscapes on the planet where high rates of human persecution exist for both predator and prey. We reviewed 14 published and 11 unpublished studies pertaining to snow leopard diet throughout its ra...

M ultiple lentigines LEOPARD syndrome (MIM 151100) is an autosomal dominant multiple congenital anomaly syndrome, with high penetrance and markedly variable expression. The acronym LEOPARD was coined by Gorlin et al. in 1971 as a mnemonic of the major features of this disorder: multiple lentigines, ECG conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormal genitalia, retard...

We studied the Indochinese leopard (Panthera pardus delacouri) in eastern Cambodia, in one of the few potentially remaining viable populations in Southeast Asia. The aims were to determine the: (i) current leopard density in Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary (SWS) and (ii) diet, prey selection and predation impact of leopard in SWS. The density, estimated using spatially explicit capture-recapture mode...

BACKGROUND Comparative phylogeography links historical population processes to current/ecological processes through congruent/incongruent patterns of genetic variation among species/lineages. Despite high biodiversity, India lacks a phylogeographic paradigm due to limited comparative studies. We compared the phylogenetic patterns of Indian populations of jungle cat (Felis chaus) and leopard cat...

the leopard moth, zeuzera pyrina, is a key and worldwide pest damaging walnut as well as many other fruit trees during the larval stages. larvae were collected from infested twigs of walnut trees. midguts from larvae were removed under a stereomicroscope and their homogenates used as the enzyme source. larval midgut extracts showed an optimum activity at ph 8.0, 6.0 and 6.0 for ?-amylase, ?- an...
