Wild Cats of the World
Abstract
From lions to house cats, cheetahs to panthers, and including detailed descriptions and information on each of the 36 species of cats as well as numerous photographs, this is the most comprehensive reference on felids available. Each account of the thirty-six species of cat contains a description of the cat, including human interactions with it, as well as detailed data on distribution, ecology and behavior, status in the wild, and conservation efforts. Many photographs, including more than forty in full color, illustrate these accounts.

These results support cats' extensive reliance on pheromones for sociochemical communication and are consistent with a genomic tradeoff between functional Or and V1r repertoires in response to uniquely evolved ecological strategies in the canid and felid lineages.
“These results add further evidence supporting cats' extensive reliance on pheromones for sociochemical communication (38), which is consistent with a genomic tradeoff between functional Or and V1r repertoires in response to uniquely evolved ecological strategies in the canid and felid lineages (4).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
