Climate Shaped the Global Population Structure of Leopards and their Extinction in Europe

2025-10-04

Abstract excerpt

Environmental change is often invoked as a key force shaping species evolution and demography, but quantifying its role is challenging. Leopards ( Panthera pardus ), a widely distributed generalist species, provide an ideal case for studying the role of the environment. The population dynamics of African and Asian leopards differ dramatically, with near panmixia in Africa versus a strong structure and eight subsp...
