Anthropogenic climate change has contributed to the accelerating loss of coral reefs worldwide. This crisis has led to a myriad of studies aimed at understanding the basis of coral resilience to support reef conservation. Here, we compare p...
Ecological Factors at a Fine Spatial Scale Influencing Leopard (Panthera pardus) Habitat Use in the Bardia-Banke Complex, Nepal [0.03%]
Rabin Bahadur K C,Jyoti Sharma,Bed Kumar Dhakal et al.
Rabin Bahadur K C et al.
Conservation of large carnivores like leopard requires the clear knowledge of the spatial ecology of leopards (Panthera pardus), especially in larger and interconnected habitats to inform effective conservation planning. Here, we assessed l...
