The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Puma optimizer (PO): a novel metaheuristic optimization algorithm and its application in machine learning (2024, unknown): “Cougars, due to the lack of a specialized larynx and laminar bone, are unable to roar like leopards; Therefore, despite their large size, pumas are not classiﬁed as big cats [56, 57].”
Puma activity patterns and temporal overlap with prey in a human‐modified landscape at Southeastern Brazil (2018, background): “This is a concern because females are important for population long-term viability, once their survival has a strong impact on the number of youngs produced (Lindzey et al., 1992; Logan & Sweanor, 2001; Lambert et al., 2006).”
Variation in Life History and Demography of the American Black Bear (2011, background): “Alternatively, increasing public sightings and complaints driven by an expanding human population could be masking stability or slow declines in bear populations (Garshelis and Hristienko 2006, Lambert et al. 2006).”
Cougar kill rate and prey composition in a multiprey system. (2010, background): “…will be situation-dependent, population-level predator control may not always produce the desired outcome for ungulates, and side-effects are possible, such as increased conflict with humans when average cougar age is reduced (Ballard et al. 2001, Lambert et al. 2006, Knopff and Boyce 2007).”
