Determination of the Minimum Population Size of Pumas (Puma concolor) Through Fecal DNA Analysis in Two Protected Cerrado Areas in the Brazilian Southeast

2007-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Pumas (Puma concolor) are an endangered species due to habitat loss and the ever-growing conflict with expanding human populations. We used genetic analysis of feces, a noninvasive study method, to determine the presence of pumas and their estimated minimum population in two protected areas in the northeast of São Paulo State, Brazil: Jataí Ecological Station and Vassununga State Park. We were able to identify the...
