Abstract
The Florida panther has recently suffered severe range and demographic contraction, leaving a remarkably low level of genetic diversity. This exerts a severe fitness cost, manifested by spermatozoal defects, cryptorchidism, cardiac abnormalities and infectious diseases that threaten the survival of the subspecies.
摘要
佛罗里达美洲狮最近经历了严重的分布范围和种群数量缩减，导致遗传多样性水平极低。这带来了高昂的健康代价，表现为精子缺陷、隐睾症、心脏异常以及传染病，这些都威胁着该亚种的生存。
