Spatial and Temporal Structure of a Mesocarnivore Guild in Midwestern North America (2015, background): “Although a cougar was confirmed in southern Illinois in 2000 (Heist et al. 2001) and despite the increasing likelihood f cougars recolonizing the Midwest (LaRue and Nielsen 2011, Henaux et al. 2011, LaRue et al. 2012), no cougars were photographed during our study.”
Determining Where the Wild Things will be: Using Psychological Theory to Find Tolerance for Large Carnivores (2014, background): “Cougars (Puma concolor) are moving back into the Midwest (LaRue et al. 2012), gray wolves (Canis lupus) are expanding their range in the American West and Midwest (74 Fed.”
Can we save large carnivores without losing large carnivore science (2017, background): “Through their interactions with other animals, large carnivores may affect faunal and floral communities across multiple trophic levels (Darwin, 1859; Leopold, 1949; Hairston et al., 1960).”
