The IUCN Cat Specialist Group has added nearly 80 documents on felid research and other wild cat literature to their library as at August 2024, which now totals 15448 documents. The research includes papers on wild cats such as Caracals, Cheetahs, Clouded Leopards, Eurasian Lynxes and European Wildcats.

The list below is sorted by Wild Cat to start, click on the column title to sort by that column.

To find documents on a particular cat or topic, type a keyword into the Search bar eg bobcat or habitat.

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 Other'.

To view the abstract for a document, go to the IUCN CatSG Library Reference Search and type in a keyword per field:

• eg Author = Dunford, Title = caracal, to = 2024 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
