Patterns of replacement of resident cougars in Southern Utah
1993 Journal of Mammalogy (74): 1056-1058
Members of a cougar (_Felis concolor_) population in southern Utah were monitored from 1979 through 1987. Vacated ranges of resident females commonly were filled by their independent-aged daughters or those of adjacent resident females. Less often, immigrating, transient females established residency in these vacated ranges. Adjacent resident females did not significantly shift nor expand their ranges into neighboring vacated ranges. Vacated ranges of resident males were filled by immigrating, transient males.
