Performance of autonomous recorders to detect a cryptic and endangered primate species, the black lion‐tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23454
Abstract: Information about species distribution is important for conservation but the monitoring of populations can demand a high sampling effort with traditional methods (e.g., line transects, sound playback) that are poorly efficient for cryptic primates, such… read more here.

Lions in a coexistence landscape: Repurposing a traditional field technique to monitor an elusive carnivore
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8662
Abstract: Abstract Throughout Africa, lions are thought to have experienced dramatic population decline and range contraction. The greatest declines are likely occurring in human‐dominated landscapes where reliably estimating lion populations is particularly challenging. By adapting a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-019-02278-7
Abstract: Abstract‘The kind Lion’ denotes a kind. Yet many generics are thought to denote kinds also, like the subject-terms in ‘The lion has a mane’, ‘Dinosaurs are extinct’, and ‘The potato was cultivated in Ireland by… read more here.

A novel approach for speaker diarization system using TMFCC parameterization and Lion optimization

DOI: 10.1007/s11771-017-3678-3
Abstract: In audio stream containing multiple speakers, speaker diarization aids in ascertaining “who speak when”. This is an unsupervised task as there is no prior information about the speakers. It labels the speech signal conforming to… read more here.

Opportunistic feeding by lions: non-preferred prey comprise an important part of lion diets in a habitat where preferred prey are abundant

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-020-00481-3
Abstract: Optimal foraging theory predicts less diverse predator diets with a greater availability of preferred prey. This narrow diet niche should then be dominated by preferred prey, with implications for predator–prey dynamics and prey population ecology.… read more here.

Commercially-driven lion part removal: What is the evidence from mortality records?

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01327
Abstract: Abstract Trade-driven killing for body parts has long been a major cause of population decline for a number of big cat species. There are now worrying suggestions that commercialised illegal trade in body parts might… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2019.105950
Abstract: Abstract The Pleistocene lion Panthera spelaea was not a homogenous taxon; it was represented by three chronoforms. The oldest one, from the Early and Middle Pleistocene, was P. s. fossilis, the youngest was the Late Pleistocene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wr16090
Abstract: Abstract Aims. Indicators of pending state-shifts carry value for policy makers. Predator–prey relations reflect key ecological processes that shape ecosystems. Variance in predator–prey relations may serve as a key indicator of future state-shifts. Methods. Lion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2020.2968943
Abstract: Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) is a new meta-heuristic algorithm that simulates the ant lion predator mechanism in nature. Five main steps of hunting include: random walks of ants, building traps, trapping in antlion’s pits, sliding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2022.3228782
Abstract: Lion swarm optimization (LSO) inspired by the natural division of labor among lion king, lionesses and lion cubs in a lion group, i.e., lion king guarding, lionesses hunting and lion cubs following, is a relatively… read more here.

Abstract: In this letter, a novel lion strategy for David Gale’s lion and man problem is proposed. The devised approach enhances a popular strategy proposed by Sgall, which relies on the computation of a suitable “center.”… read more here.
