Felidae the Felidae, grouped according to the traditional phenotypical classification with the corresponding genotypical lineages indicated. It includes all of the currently living cat species. There is considerable variation in the taxonomy used for the wildcat. It used to be regarded as "Felis silvestris" with distinct subspecies "F. s. silvestris", "F. s. lybica" and "F. s. ornata" in Europe, Africa and Asia respectively. Since 2017, the IUCN Cat Specialist Group recognises "silvestris" and "lybica" as distinct species. The phylogenetic relationships of extant felids are shown in the following cladogram, based on the molecular phylogenetic analysis of Johnson et al. (2006). The
Felidae Conservation Fund region's wildlife populations. In addition, the study uses GPS collars equipped with accelerometers to record detailed information on mountain lion movements that will reveal new insights into their behavior and physiology. Felidae is working with Dr. Chris Wilmers of UC Santa Cruz, along with the California Department of Fish and Game and California State Parks. The Patagonia Puma Project in Chile is a long-term ecological study by Dr. Heiko Wittmer of UC Davis which examines the dynamics relating to the puma’s role in the decline of the huemul deer. The researchers hope to exonerate the puma from major blame in
