This study investigates the spatial occupancy, population density, and activity patterns of the Sri Lankan leopard in KNP, Sri Lanka. Our findings reveal a higher concentration of leopards around water bodies and rocky areas, which provide shelter and support prey species such as wild buffalo and spotted deer. Using random encounter models (REM) and spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) analyses the population density of leopards was estimated. The study identified the eastern region of KNP as having one of the highest recorded leopard densities globally, with REM and SECR estimates showing statistically similar results of approximately 41 leopards per 100 km<sup>2</sup>. This high density is attributed to the availability of prey and habitat variability that supports the ecological needs of leopards. The study underscores the importance of KNP as a stronghold of leopards in southern Sri Lanka and the necessity of preserving its natural habitats.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"18 2","pages":"Pages 416-426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144139633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, molecular genetic analysis based on 16S rDNA of 229 individuals collected along the coast of Lake Biwa was conducted to clarify genetic population structure of the shrimp in the lake, which is a major harvesting area in Japan. A total of seven haplotypes (Hap1-7) were identified, and the most frequent haplotype (Hap1) was consistent with the haplogroup (A-I) determined in a previous study. In addition, another haplogroup (A-Biwa) consisting of four haplotypes (Hap2,5-7) was subsequently confirmed, and three (Hap5-7) of these haplotypes were identified for the first time in this study. The other two haplotypes (Hap3, 4) were presumed to be of foreign origin, probably from South Korea. There is strong concern that these foreign haplotypes will not only spread throughout Lake Biwa but will also spread to other parts of Japan via shrimp transport, causing synergistic genetic disturbance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"18 2","pages":"Pages 399-405"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144139517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
