Genetic diversity, gene flow, and source-sink dynamics of cougars in the Pacific Northwest - Wultsch et al. 2023 - Microsatellite data of 1,903 cougars studied across Washington, United States and south-central British Columbia, Canada, 2003-2018

The microsatellite data table (Genalex file format) includes genotypes of 1,903 individual cougars, which were collected by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife across Washington, USA and south-central British Columbia, Canada between 2003 and 2018. More specifically, 615 cougar individuals were sampled in the Northern Rocky Mountains, 314 in the northern Cascades, 366 in the Puget Sound and central Cascades, 202 on the Olympic Peninsula, 238 in the southern Cascades, and 168 in the Blue Mountains.
