Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…I highlighted that the most suitable habitats for this group of species showed often pronounced differences with the hotspots for terrestrial vertebrate biodiversity modelled in the first two chapters of this thesis, likely due to the fact that small felids are more specialised than the pool of species used to model biodiversity hotspots, and they require larger and more intact habitats. …”
