Estimating abundance of mountain lions from unstructured spatial sampling (2012, background): “In the northern RockyMountains, human persecution and reductions in prey availability contributed to a dramatic decline in mountain lion abundance during the latter 19th century and early 20th century (Logan and Sweanor 2001).”
Puma activity patterns and temporal overlap with prey in a human‐modified landscape at Southeastern Brazil (2018, background): “For instance, in New Mexico, males accounted for 53% of the death causes for monitored females and their cubs (Logan & Sweanor, 2001).”
Aspects of cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) biology, ecology and conservation strategies on Namibian farmlands (2002, background): “Through scavenging predator kills for themselves, early hominids were provided a high-quality food source that may have enabled them to emerge from Africa and inhabit the globe (Blumenschine 1991, Logan and Sweanor 2001).”
Mating Strategies in Relation to Sexually Selected Infanticide in a Non‐Social Carnivore: the Brown Bear (2006, background): “Concerning non-social carnivores, infanticide has been documented in some large solitary cats (Smith & McDougal 1991; Bailey 1993; Logan & Sweanor 2001) and bears (reviewed in Taylor 1994), but those studies lacked supporting evidence for SSI, as paternity is extremely difficult to document in the…”
High jaguar densities and large population sizes in the core habitat of the southwestern Amazon (2013, background): “, but a higher proportion of adult females is common among large cats and can be explained by a lower survival of males due to intraspecific conflicts and a higher mortality during dispersal (Balme and Hunter, 2004; Goodrich et al., 2008; Logan and Sweanor, 2001).”
Mesopredator spatial and temporal responses to large predators and human development in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California (2015, background): “Coyotes and raccoons may have reduced their activity in sites occupied by pumas to avoid encountering a dominant competitor (Ritchie and Johnson, 2009) and intraguild predator (Logan and Sweanor, 2001).”
Cougar kill rate and prey composition in a multiprey system. (2010, background): “These patterns can be interpreted as part of a broader optimal foraging strategy where felids attempt to minimize risks associated with predation by targeting easier prey (e.g., Ross et al. 1995, Logan and Sweanor 2001, Owen-Smith 2008, Knopff et al. 2010).”
Modelling potential dispersal corridors for cougars in midwestern North America using least-cost path methods (2008, background): “Further- ore, lesser dispersal distances of <400 km are commonly eported in the literature (Anderson et al., 1992; Beier, 1995; weanor et al., 2000; Logan and Sweanor, 2001).”
Widespread mesopredator effects after wolf extirpation (2013, background): “Several dietary studies of mountain lions throughout the West have found that they will regularly kill and eat coyotes (Logan and Sweanor, 2001).”
VIGILANCE, PREDATION RISK, AND THE ALLEE EFFECT IN DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP (2004, background): “First, individual predators vary in their hunting style and learn to selectively hunt and kill particular prey animals (Logan et al. 1996; Logan and Sweanor 2000, 2001).”
The impact on tigers of poaching versus prey depletion (2008, background): “Therefore, we fix average litter size at 3, which appears to be close to the mean value for many large cat species (Logan & Sweanor 2001; Smith & McDougal 1991), but since the model is female-only, we set l = 1·5, assuming an equal sex ratio at birth.”
Spatial organization and food habits of jaguars (Panthera onca) in a floodplain forest (2007, background): “…do not exhibit home range overlap and show strong aggression and territorial defense against conspecifics (Sunquist, 1981; Ross and Jalkotzy, 1992; Logan and Sweanor, 2001) whereas female ranges show a higher degree of overlap (Seidensticker et al., 1973; Ross and Jalkotzy, 1992; Logan and…”
Flexible habitat selection by cougars in response to anthropogenic development (2014, background): “, 1996; Woodroffe, 2000) while others have identified habitat alteration as a predominant threat to many populations (Logan and Sweanor, 2001; Ripple et al., 2014).”
Spatial structure of Amur (Siberian) tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) on Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Zapovednik, Russia (2010, background): “…probably serves to increase the reproductive success of daughters (Bengal tigers [McDougal 1977; Smith et al. 1987], black bears [Ursus americanus— Rogers 1987], cougars [Lindzey et al. 1994; Logan and Sweanor 2001], Iberian lynx [Lynx pardinus—Ferreras et al. 1997], and leopards [Bailey 1993]).”
REPRODUCTIVE PARAMETERS OF WILD FEMALE AMUR (SIBERIAN) TIGERS (PANTHERA TIGRIS ALTAICA) (2003, background): “Nonetheless, this data set represents one of the largest for a wild population of tigers, and the pattern coincides with birthing seasons of mountain lions (Puma concolor) in north-temperate environments (review in Logan and Sweanor 2001).”
