Abstract

. According to recent genetic studies, there are eight subspecies of leopards (Panthera pardus) all over the world. Among these subspecies, the Anatolian leopard (Panthera pardus tulliana) is distributed in the southern and western regions of Turkey . It is a terrestrial mammal subspecies of Anatolia that is important historically, culturally and biologically. To date, there have been no studies about the Anatolian leopard, which is at the top of the food chain and has the characteristics of an umbrella species, key species and flag species in conservation studies. It is known that until 1975, the Anatolian leopard had dispersed along the forests of Central Anatolia, Mediterranean and Aegean regions. Since then, no living records have been taken, with the exception of unconfirmed information from scientists, local people and hunters. With this study, for the first time in history, one living individual(s) of the Anatolian leopard ( P. p. tulliana ) was photographed and video recorded via camera trap method, in the Western Taurus Mountains of the Mediterranean region of Turkey.

土耳其地中海地区现存安纳托利亚豹(panthera pardus tulliana l .， 1758)的新记录

．根据最近的遗传研究，全世界有8个亚种的豹(Panthera pardus)。在这些亚种中，安纳托利亚豹(Panthera pardus tulliana)分布在土耳其南部和西部地区。它是安纳托利亚的一种陆生哺乳动物亚种，具有重要的历史、文化和生物学意义。安纳托利亚豹处于食物链的顶端，在保护研究中具有保护伞物种、关键物种和标志物种的特征，迄今为止还没有关于安纳托利亚豹的研究。众所周知，直到1975年，安纳托利亚豹一直分布在安纳托利亚中部、地中海和爱琴海地区的森林中。从那以后，除了科学家、当地人和猎人提供的未经证实的信息外，再也没有任何生物记录。在这项研究中，历史上第一次通过相机陷阱方法在土耳其地中海地区的西部金牛座山脉拍摄和录像了一只活的安纳托利亚豹(p.p. tulliana)。

期刊介绍： The Journal publishes original research papers and review articles. Researchers from all countries are invited to publish pure or applied ecological, environmental, biogeographical, zoological, botanical, paleontological, biometrical-biomathematical and quantitative ecological or multidisciplinary agricultural research of international interest on its pages. The focus is on topics such as: -Community, ecosystem and global ecology- Biometrics, theoretical- and quantitative ecology- Multidisciplinary agricultural and environmental research- Sustainable and organic agriculture, natural resource management- Ecological methodology, monitoring and modeling- Biodiversity and ecosystem research, microbiology, botany and zoology- Biostatistics and modeling in epidemiology, public health and veterinary- Earth history, paleontology, extinctions, biogeography, biogeochemistry- Conservation biology, environmental protection- Ecological economics, natural capital and ecosystem services- Climatology, meteorology, climate change, climate-ecology. The Journal publishes theoretical papers as well as application-oriented contributions and practical case studies. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area. Purely descriptive papers (like only taxonomic lists) will not be accepted for publication.
