Survival of snow leopard populations 'precarious,' researchers say. Here's why
Survival of snow leopard populations could be "precarious" in the future due to the way the elusive mountain cats have evolved, scientists recently discovered.

Snow leopards have very low genetic diversity, which puts their future at risk, finds Stanford study
Snow leopards (Panthera uncia), the elusive big cats of High Mountain Asia, have very low genetic diversity, a new study led by Stanford University has found. T

Genetic Similarity Among Snow Leopards Raises Concerns for Their Future
In a groundbreaking genomic study led by researchers at Stanford University, scientists have unraveled the long-standing mystery of the snow leopard’s remarkably low genetic diversity. Despite its e

Snow leopards have lowest genetic diversity of any big cat
Whole genome sequencing has revealed snow leopards have very low genetic diversity, which does not bode well for the species’ future under a changing climate.

Snow leopards may vanish as warming hits fragile mountain habitats
Snow leopards across Asia share nearly identical genes, making them vulnerable to a rapidly warming planet.

Snow leopards show very low genetic diversity, a factor that may limit their ability to adapt to environmental changes and increase their risk of extinction. doi.org/g953dp
The world's snow leopards are very similar genetically—findings suggest that doesn't bode well for their future
There are relatively few snow leopards in the world, and it has likely been that way for a long time, a new study indicates.

Very excited to share that our work assessing the genomic diversity of snow leopards has come out today in PNAS! Spoiler alert - they have the lowest genetic diversity of all big cats!

Snow leopards have the lowest genetic diversity of all big cats–a dubious distinction once held by cheetahs. It increases their risk of extinction in a warming climate. #Stanford-led #research #snowleopards @kasolari.bsky.social @petrovadmitri.bsky.social

Snow leopards’ low genetic diversity puts future at risk
A Stanford-led study reveals that snow leopards are the most genetically similar to each other among big cats, making them particularly vulnerable to drastic changes like the warming climate.

Happy that this paper - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - was accepted at Mol Ecol Res and excited about the promise of this technology to measure pop sizes for such elusive species as snow leopards + learn about at least 1st-degree relationships + beyond? Congrats to Katie Solari and other authors!
Next-generation snow leopard population assessment tool: multiplex-PCR SNP panel for individual identification from feces
Snow leopards, Panthera uncia , are under threat from numerous pressures and are the focus of a great deal of conservation efforts. However, their elusive nature makes it difficult to estimate populat...
