The IUCN Cat Specialist Group has added over 80 documents on Felidae research and other wild cat literature to their library as at February 2024 which now totals 15195 documents.
The list below is sorted by the Document Author column to start, click on the Wild Cat column title to sort by that column.
To find documents on a particular cat or topic, type a keyword into the Search bar eg jaguar or evolution.
The compilers of the list have reduced the titles to be more concise and have excluded the Latin names of species, so use the common names of the wild cats you are interested in.
Note: this is a very basic list and only the text in the titles is available to search on, and there is no link to the actual document.
The librarian is now adding papers in other languages so, where I am not sure of the topic, I have just categorised the paper as 'Z' in the meantime.
To view the abstract for a document go to the IUCN CatSG Library Reference Search and type in a keyword per field:
- eg Author = Becker, Title = lion, to = 2022 and [Search]
- click on the document link in the results to preview the abstract
- members can then click further on the pdf icon to download the full article
Join the Friends of the Cat Specialist Group to receive their Cat News magazine about current research and get access to the 15 000+ articles about the Felidae species on their database.
