| Demographic and genetic correlates of population growth and viability of reintroduced tiger (_Panthera tigris_) population in Panna landscape, Central India | |
| 2016 Full Book | |
Panna Tiger Reserve (PTR) in Central India experienced rapid decline of tiger population, which eventually became extinct in 2009 (Ramesh et al. 2009). Seven tigers (2 males and 5 females) were reintroduced and monitored intensively during 2009 - 2015. This small population offers an ideal opportunity as a model population to unearth certain complex ecological and genetic parameters associated with small and growing tiger population. Although the reintroduction efforts have been successful so far, the growth and viability would depend on the current demographic and genetic details. In this context, the study aims to understand these details in present and future contexts, with implication for population management of reintroduced tiger populations. This research work therefore mainly aim to understand: 1) Demography and population genetics of this reintroduced tiger population; 2) Spatial occupancy and behaviour of the reintroduced tiger population; 3) Habitat selection strategies and habitat suitability and finally 4) to predict population growth and viability of the reintroduced tiger in the landscape. |
