Spatial and temporal interactions of sympatric mountain lions in Arizona Spatial and temporal interactions of sympatric mountain lions in Arizona
Spatial and temporal interactions among individual members of populations can have direct applications to habitat management of mountain lions (Puma concolor). Our objectives were to evaluate home range overlap and spatial/temporal use of overlap zones (OZ) of mountain lions in Arizona. We incorporated spatial data with genetic analyses to assess relatedness between mountain lions with...

Genetic analysis of scats reveals minimum number and sex of recently documented mountain lions Genetic analysis of scats reveals minimum number and sex of recently documented mountain lions
Recent records of mountain lions Puma concolor and concurrent declines in desert bighorn sheep Ovis canadensis mexicana on Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona, United States, have prompted investigations to estimate the number of mountain lions occurring there. We performed noninvasive genetic analyses and identified species, individuals, and sex from scat samples collected from the...
