The Status of the Puma (Puma Concolor) in Missouri, Based on Sightings
Since 1927, the puma (Puma concolor) has been classified as extirpated from the state of Missouri. However, sightings of puma have continuously been reported thorughout the state. Questionnaires, addressing the circumstances of the sighting incident and personal attributes of the individual, were …

The influence of habitat features and co-occurring species on puma (Puma concolor) occupancy across eight sites in Belize, Central America
… behavior) make them difficult to monitor. Pumas have been particularly difficult to study because the lack of distinctive markings on their coats prevents individual identification, precluding mark-recapture and other similar analyses. Further, compared to temperate areas, research on the …

Determining habitat and biotic factors driving puma (<i>Puma concolor</i>) space use and underlying dynamic processes (colonization and extinction) over 20 years in protected and private areas throughout Belize, Central America
… there is relatively scant information on pumas (<i>Puma concolor</i>) in the neotropics especially compared to the more well-studied jaguar (<i>Panthera onca</i>). Understanding long-term puma distribution can affect land management decisions such as appropriate size of buffer zones around …

Ecology of Mountain Lions (Puma concolor) in the North Dakota Badlands: Population Dynamics and Prey Use
Mountain lions (Puma concolor) have recently recolonized the North Dakota Badlands nearly a century after their extirpation; due to the relatively recent reappearance of mountain lions in the region, most population metrics are unknown. From 2011‒2013, we fitted 14 mountain lions with GPS collars …

Geochemical Characterization of the Louann Salt, Puma Field, Green Canyon, Gulf of Mexico Basin – Using XRF and XRD
… evaporite layers within the Louann Salt in the Puma Field of the GOMB. Geochemical analyses were performed by handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) on approximately 600 cutting samples from the Puma West GC821-002 well, ranging from 2,057 meters to 6,528 meters (6,750 feet to 21,420 feet) below the …

Insights into p53-Dependent Apoptotic Signaling and Cell Fate vis-a-vis Functional Cooperation among BCL-xL, Cytoplasmic p53, and PUMA
… damage, nuclear p53 induces the expression of PUMA (p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis), a BH3‑only protein that binds and inhibits the anti‑apoptotic BCL‑2 repertoire, including BCL‑xL. Structural investigations of PUMA and the BCL‑xL×PUMA BH3 domain complex by X‑ray crystallography and …

Role of ATF4 in Neuronal Death Mediated by DNA Damage, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Ischemia-Hypoxia
… In the present study we demonstrate that PUMA, a BH3-only member of the Bcl-2 family is essential for ER stress-induced cell death. PUMA is known to be a key transcriptional target of p53, however we have found that ER stress triggers PUMA induction and cell death through a p53-independent …
