Use of intraperitoneal radiotransmitters to study mountain lion (Puma concolor) Kittens

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Implantation of radiotransmitters in juvenile carnivores allows researchers to study little‐known life stages. In the field, we successfully implanted 7 mountain lion (Puma concolor) kittens from 2 litters in the Santa Monica Mountains (Los Angeles and ...

Effects of fixed and dynamic mesh methods on simulation of stepped planing craft

open access: yesJournal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2019
In the present study, we investigate the effects of fixed and dynamic mesh methods on CFD simulation of stepped planing craft. To this accomplishment, three different body forms of without step, one step, and two step Cougar planing crafts are considered.

Rebreeding of Female Mountain Lions After Litter Mortality

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Despite litter size and kitten survival in mountain lions (Puma concolor) being well‐documented, there is a critical gap in the literature regarding the time that elapses between litter mortality and subsequent rebreeding in females.

Impacts of management practices on habitat selection during juvenile mountain lion dispersal

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Dispersal is a complex series of movements before an individual establishes a home range. Animals must travel and forage in unfamiliar landscapes that include anthropogenic risks such as road crossings, harvest, and urban landscapes. We compare dispersal

Temporal interactions among carnivores in an anthropized landscape of the coastal mountain range in southern Chile

open access: yesFolia Oecologica
The structuring of carnivore assemblages is based on the partitioning of niche axes, where the activity pattern is relevant for their coexistence. However, the continuous degradation of habitats, and the human presence (and exotic species) limit the ...
