Genetic diversity, gene flow, and source-sink dynamics of cougars in the Pacific Northwest

2024-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Conservation and management of wide-ranging carnivores like cougars (Puma concolor), which occur across human-altered landscapes can benefit from an in-depth understanding of their genetic status. Here, we apply the largest collection of multi-locus genotypes currently available for cougars (n = 1,903) to provide a comprehensive assessment of genetic diversity, gene flow, and source-sink dynamics for cougars occur...
