| Home range characteristics and conservation of Pallas' cat in Mongolia | |
| 2004 Manuscript | |
The Pallas' cat Otocolobus manul is a small felid endemic to Central Asia. Throughout its range, Pallas' cat is under threat from habitat fragmentation, hunting and vermin control programs. Our knowledge of the status of Pallas' cat is limited by our poor understanding of its ecology in the wild; this deficiency also prevents us creating priority based conservation programs for the species. Here we outline preliminary findings on the home range behavior of six Pallas' cats in Mongolia. We speculate on the meaning of the data in terms of the ecology and conservation of Pallas' cats. |
