A comprehensive genetic study published in 2016 confirmed the close relationship between the extinct Barbary lions from Northern Africa and lions from Central and West Africa and in addition showed that the former fall into the same subclade as the Asiatic lion.
Apr 22, 2013 · According to new research published April 3 in PLoS ONE, Barbary lions may have remained alive in wilds of Algeria and Morocco—hidden and safe from most human eyes—for several decades, possibly...
Mar 14, 2020 · In the last 150 y, this decline has resulted in the extinction in the wild of the Barbary lion in North Africa, the Cape lion in South Africa, lion populations in the Middle East, and has led to increased fragmentation and decline of all of the remaining populations.
May 5, 2020 · As part of the study, the researchers assembled genomes of individuals from three other extinct lineages: Barbary lions of North Africa; Middle Eastern lions; and Cape lions of South...
The continuous capture and killing of Barbary lions was extensive throughout Roman, Arabic, Turkish and European colonial periods, enduring well into the 19 th century (Peterson et al. 2014) By the 1920s, the lions of North Africa were generally considered extinct in the wild (Black et al. 2013).
Apr 3, 2013 · We use probabilistic methods to estimate a more recent extinction date for the subspecies. The evidence presented for a much later persistence of lions in North Africa, including generations when sightings were nil, suggests caution when considering felid populations as extinct in the wild.
May 5, 2020 · We generated a genomic dataset that included 2 extinct Pleistocene cave lions, 12 lions from historically extinct populations in Africa and the Middle East, and 6 modern lions from Africa and India.
