Predatory Behavior is Primary Predictor of Movement of Wildland-Urban Cougars

2018-01-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> While many species have suffered from the detrimental impacts of increasing human population growth, some species, such as cougars ( Puma concolor ), have been observed using human-modified landscapes. However, human-modified habitat can be a source of both increased risk and increased food availability, particularly for large carnivores. Assessing preferential use of the landscape is important...
