African and Asian leopards are highly differentiated at the genomic level
Leopards are the only big cats still widely distributed across the continents of Africa and Asia. They occur in a wide range of habitats and are often found in close proximity to humans. But despite their ubiquity, leopard phylogeography and population history have not yet been studied with genomic tools....Paijmans, Johanna L A ; Axel, Barlow ; Becker, Matthew S ; Cahill, James ; Fickel, Joerns …

Brain size of the lion (Panthera leo) and the tiger (P-tigris): implications for intrageneric phylogeny, intraspecific differences and the effects of captivity
Intraspecific encephalization of the lion and the tiger is investigated for the first time using a very large sample. Using cranial volume as a measure of brain size, the tiger has a larger brain relative to greatest length of skull than the lion, the leopard and the jaguar. The Asian...Yamaguchi, Nobuyuki ; Kitchener, Andrew C ; Gilissen, E ; Macdonald, David W
