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 ...

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.

Genetic Future for Florida Panthers—Response

Science, 2010
We agree with Hedrick that there are cogent reasons for continuing to monitor the surviving Florida panthers in the future. Inbreeding is by no means solved and may increase as available habitat is developed.

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).

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.

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 ...

MEASUREMENT PROBLEMS AND FLORIDA PANTHER MODELS

Southeastern Naturalist, 2004
Abstract Conservation planning is only as good as the science on which it relies. This paper evaluates the science underlying the least-cost-path model, developed by Meegan and Maehr (2002), for the Florida panther, Puma concolor coryi. It also assesses the resulting claim that private lands in central Florida are desirable for panther colonization ...

Food Habits of Panthers in Southwest Florida

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1990
We examined the diet of Florida panthers (Felis concolor coryi) in southwest Florida from 1977 through 1989. Frequency of occurrence in 270 scats indicated wild hog (Sus scrofa) was the most common prey followed by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), raccoon (Procyon lotor), and 9-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).

Feasibility of Translocating Panthers into Northern Florida

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1993
Seven mountain lions (Felis concolor stanleyana) captured in western Texas were released in northern Florida and used as surrogates for evaluating the feasibility of translocating Florida panthers (F. c, coryi). Using radio telemetry, they were monitored daily, except Sundays, from 15 June 1988 to 19 April 1989.

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
