Tolerance for the Florida panther in exurban southwest Florida

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2018
ABSTRACTHuman tolerance for negative interactions with the Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) is an important component of panther conservation efforts. Residents’ tolerance for interactions with Florida panthers in exurban areas has not been explicitly studied, even though the highest number of documented human‐panther interactions has occurred in ...

Florida panther dispersal and conservation

Biological Conservation, 2002
We studied dispersal in 27 radio-collared Florida panthers Puma concolor coryi in southern Florida from 1986 to 2000. Male dispersal was longer (mean=68.4 km) than that of females (mean=20.3 km), tended to be circular, frustrated, and of insufficient length to ameliorate inbreeding.

Landscape Features and Panthers in Florida

Conservation Biology, 1995
Abstract: We used a geographic information system (GIS) to document spatial associations of Florida panthers, land cover, and other geographical features. Panther radio locations (n = 14,548) occurred in hardwood hammock, mixed hardwood swamp, and cypress swamp in greater proportion than in randomly positioned ...

Demographics and Genetic Introgression in the Florida Panther

Conservation Biology, 1995
With the release of eight female Texas cougars (Felis concolor stanleyana) into south Florida between March and July 1995, natural resource agencies have embarked on a task that is intended to restore the genetic integrity of the Florida panther (F. c. coryi).

Hematologic Effects of Cytauxzoonosis in Florida Panthers and Texas Cougars in Florida

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1999
Cytauxzoon felis is a long-recognized hemoparasite of free-ranging Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi), but its prevalence and effect on the population has not been assessed. Red blood cell indices and white blood cell counts were compared between infected and noninfected Florida panthers and Texas cougars (Puma concolor stanleyana) from 1983-1997 ...

IXODID TICKS FROM PANTHERS AND BOBCATS IN FLORIDA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1995
Ixodid ticks were present in all 189 samples examined from 53 Florida panthers (Felis concolor coryi, 104 collections) and 85 bobcats (Felis rufus floridana) in Florida (USA) between 1974 and 1991. We identified 3,251 ticks from panthers and 918 from bobcats. Specimens of Dermacentor variabilis, Ixodes scapularis, I. affinis, Amblyomma maculatum, and A.

Finding a Place for Panthers: Mapping Conservation Issues Related to Florida Panthers

Lessons in Conservation, 2022
Restoring wildlife populations requires locating, protecting, and connecting areas where species can thrive under both ecological and anthropological conditions. Addressing these spatial needs may be difficult, as required habitats may have been lost, fragmented, or altered prior to restoration.

The Florida Panther and Private Lands

Conservation Biology, 1990
Abstract: Intensive efforts to protect Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) habitat on private lands are essential for this endangered animal to survive. About half of the presently known occupied panther range in south Florida occurs on private lank where agricultural and urban development are increasing rapidly.

Content Analysis of Newspaper Coverage of the Florida Panther

Conservation Biology, 2011
Abstract:  Populations of large carnivores are declining globally, and analysis of public discourse about carnivores is useful for understanding public opinion and influences on management and policy. Portrayal of carnivores in the media affects public perceptions and support for their conservation. We conducted

Genetic Future for Florida Panthers

Science, 2010
W. E. Johnson et al. (“Genetic restoration of the Florida panther,” Reports, 24 September, p. [1641][1]) document genetic changes in the Florida panther population after the 1995 introduction of eight Texas puma females. This translocation has been a great success; the population size has increased more than threefold, and several detrimental traits ...
