Abstract:Little information exists on the occurrence of Trichinella spp. in cougars ( Puma concolor) throughout North and South America. However, species distribution models (SDM) can be used to predict suitable habitat for elusive species with limited occurrence data. In 2018, we used existing occurrence data to estimate the suitable habitat and ecological drivers of Trichinella species in cougars from the southwestern region of Colorado, USA from winter months. Environmental layers were constructed and an SDM was the… Show more
