Assessing temporal genetic variation in a cougar population: influence of harvest and neighboring populations

2016-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The geography of the Black Hills region of South Dakota and Wyoming may limit connectivity for many species. For species with large energetic demands and large home ranges or species at low densities this can create viability concerns. Carnivores in this region, such as cougars (Puma concolor), have the additive effect of natural and human-induced mortality; this may act to decrease long-term viability. In this st...
