The Caspian and Siberian tigers were likely a single contiguous population until the early 19th century, but became isolated from another due to fragmentation and loss of habitat during the Industrial Revolution. [5] In 2015, morphological, ecological and molecular traits of all putative tiger subspecies were analysed in a combined approach.
