Recent records of dhole (Cuon alpinus, Pallas 1811) in Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya, India

Camera trap photographs of solitary individuals of Asiatic wild dog or dholes have been recorded from Kheda Tal area in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, the first photographic confirmation of the presence of this species in the Himalayan habitats of Uttrakhand.

Dholes-inspired optimization (DIO): a nature-inspired algorithm for engineering optimization problems

This paper proposes the Dhole-Inspired Optimization (DIO) algorithm, a novel metaheuristic inspired by the cooperative hunting behavior of dholes (Cuon alpinus). The algorithm employs a hierarchical…

A multi-scale environmental niche model for the Endangered dhole Cuon alpinus

This work quantified the spatial distribution of potential range as well as the relative probability of dhole occurrence across large parts of the species’ global range, using the MaxEnt algorithm to produce a multi-scale environmental niche model based on 24 environmental variables and dhole occurrence data from 12 countries.

Male‐biased Adult Sex Ratios and their Significance for Cooperative Breeding in Dhole, Cuon alpinus, Packs

It appears that males delay dispersal and cooperate within their natal packs because of the variety of reproductive strategies they could pursue within, and a combination of ecological constraints and the difficulties of achieving breeding status within non-natal packs may make early dispersals and independent breeding less beneficial.
