Genetic diversity and population structure of pumas (Puma concolor) in southeastern Brazil: implications for conservation in a human-dominated landscape

Abstract: São Paulo is the most populous, developed and industrialized state of Brazil. Despite of intensive human activities, large habitat loss and fragmentation of the native vegetation cover, pumas (Puma concolor) still inhabit remnant habitat fragments in the northeastern area of the state. We investigated the occurrence of genetic structure and levels of genetic variability on pumas to aggregate basic information for conservation efforts to maintain long term viable populations of this top-predator in the region. … Show more

“…In order to confirm if the samples belonged to Puma concolor, we amplified a fragment of 146 bp from cytochrome b of mitochondrial DNA using the primers described by Farrel et al [24], as previously used by Miotto et al [17,25,26] for cougar identification. We adopted the PCR protocol described by Miotto et al [25] using a Veriti 96-Well Thermal Cycler (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA).…”

“…As sete unidades se encontram próximo às áreas urbanas, rodovias e propriedades rurais. Essa condição está diretamente relacionada às ameaças sofridas pela população de onças pardas: perda de habitats, atropelamentos e conflitos resultantes da interação com criação de animais domésticos em propriedades rurais (Miotto et al, 2011;2012). Por outro lado, permite fácil acesso da população a esses espaços, o que potencializa as ações de uso público.…”

“…Definimos a área de estudo desse trabalho com base na pesquisa sobre a população de onças pardas conduzida por Miotto et al (2011;2012). Optamos por esta área de estudo por ela nos permitir integrar a pesquisa em conservação da biodiversidade com a pesquisa em educação ambiental, buscando compreender aspectos humanos necessários para a conservação da biodiversidade no Estado de São Paulo.…”
