Cost-Benefit Analysis of Mountain Lion Management for the Recovery of Endangered Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep
2018
Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference
We evaluated the consequences of different predator management strategies and the subsequent effects on time and cost to recovery for federally endangered Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep. Based on data collected during 1995-2009, we used stage based demographic modeling to estimate vital rates in three isolated herds, accounting for sampling error and variance. Using those vital rates we predicted the time and associated cost for the population to meet delisting goals. We found recovery time
