Loss of genetic diversity among ocelots in the United States during the 20th century linked to human induced population reductions.

Loss of genetic diversity among ocelots in the United States during the 20th century linked to human induced population reductions.

Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in the United States currently exhibit low levels of genetic diversity. One hypothesis for this observation is that habitat fragmentation, resulting from human induced changes in the landscape during the 20(th) century, created island populations with highly reduced gene...
