Mapping potential habitat for naturally recolonizing cougars (Puma concolor) in Missouri, USA
Global Ecology and ConservationCougars (Puma concolor) have been increasingly documented in the Midwestern United States in the past few decades following historical extirpation, including in Missouri (USA), where verified sightings occur regularly. To map potential habitat and inform
