Cougar Puma concolor use of wildlife crossing structures on the Trans-Canada highway in Banff National Park, Alberta (2001, background): “Large carnivores are sensitive to the barrier effect caused by highways (Sweanor et al. 2000).”
Edge effects and the impact of non‐protected areas in carnivore conservation: leopards in the Phinda–Mkhuze Complex, South Africa (2010, background): “We classified a disperser as a subadult that established a home range after becoming independent with o5% overlap of its natal range or that died outside its natal range ( Sweanor, Logan & Hornocker, 2000 ).”
Natal dispersal of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in Switzerland (2005, background): “After independence sub-adults were considered ‘dispersers’ when they had established a home range overlapping not > 5% of their natal (= maternal) home range based on 90% minimum convex polygon (MCP) or were last located outside their natal area (Sweanor et al., 2000; Zimmermann, 2004).”
Florida panther dispersal and conservation (2002, background): “trajectories of their movements were circular, and the effective dispersal distances were less than those exhibited by other cougar populations (Seidensticker et al., 1973; Hemker et al., 1984; Logan et al., 1986; Anderson et al., 1992; Jalkotzy et al., 1992; Ross and Jalkotzy, 1992; Weaver et al., ”
Proximate and ultimate causes of dispersal in the Iberian lynx Lynx pardinus (2004, background): “Dispersal in solitary felids is usually male biased, and dispersal distance is commonly larger for males than for females (Beier, 1995; Breitenmoser et al., 1993b; Maehr et al., 2002; Ross and Jalkotzy, 1992; Smith, 1993; Sweanor et al., 2000).”
Dynamics of a black bear population within a desert metapopulation (2005, background): “…mountain lions in the anthropogenically-constrained regions of southern California (x = 63 km; Beier, 1995) and southern Florida (x = 68 km; Maehr et al., 2002) is approximately 50% of that reported for the species in the naturally fragmented Chihuahuan desert (x = 116 km; Sweanor et al., 2000).”
