摘要：

We monitored 26 radio-collared panthers (Felis concolor coryi) in southwest Florida from December 1985 through October 1990 and collected data on 7025 locations. Panthers preferred native upland forests over wetlands and disturbed habitats. Home-range size varied from 53 to 1183 km2, averaging 519 km2 for resident males and 193 km2 for resident females. Home ranges of resident adults were stable unless influenced by death of other residents. Dispersal distances averaged 58.7 km for subadult males and 16 km for an adult female. One male and one female were successfully recruited into the population during the five years. Florida panthers exhibit demographics and social ecology typical of solitary felids. Limited dispersal opportunities for subadult males may have encouraged fighting among males. Conservation strategies should emphasize upland forest preservation and increasing panther range to accommodate their dispersal.
