RESEARCH
For such a small area, there has been a fair amount of research done within the Black Range - or significant gaps in research depending on your perspective. Are you a “the glass is half full” or “half empty” person? Or are you an engineer who wonders why the glass is twice as big as it needs to be...?
The Summer 2018 issue of The Wild Felid Monitor includes an article by Tricia Rossettie (New Mexico State University) and Rebecca Bolich (Furman University) about the long-term study of Cougars in the Black Range conducted by Furman University. Dr. Travis Perry founded the Furman Cougar Project more than a decade ago and the data gathered is significant and the subject of new techniques of data mining.
“The Furman Cougar Project: looking back and branching out towards the future of conservation biology” by Rossettie and Bolich is one example of what is going on in the Black Range.
