Fractured genetic connectivity threatens a southern california puma (Puma concolor) population.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

Pumas (Puma concolor; also known as mountain lions and cougars) in southern California live among a burgeoning human population of roughly 20 million people. Yet little is known of the consequences of attendant habitat loss and fragmentation, and human-caused puma mortality to puma population viability and genetic diversity. We examined genetic status of pumas in coastal mountains within the Peninsular Ranges...
