Female philopatry and unsuccessful male dispersal of a top predator in a human-modified landscape revealed by relatedness analysis

2023-03-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Habitat loss and fragmentation threaten population persistence because they affect the individuals’ ability to disperse between remaining habitat patches and reduce areas of refuge for populations. In cougars (<italic>Puma concolor</italic>), males are predominantly dispersers while females tend to be philopatric. To examine cougar philopatry and dispersal ability in a human-dominated l...
