Article Synopsis
- A study in southwest Florida analyzed how federally endangered Florida panthers prey on calves on ranches, which are vital for their recovery.
- The research aimed to quantify the rate of calf depredation by panthers and create a model to assess the quality of panther hunting habitats and predict predation risk.
- The findings revealed varying calf loss rates between ranches, with higher depredation linked to better hunting environments for panthers, indicating a need for addressing invisible predation impacts on ranching.
