Effects of sun angle, lunar illumination, and diurnal temperature on temporal movement rates of sympatric ocelots and bobcats in South Texas.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Sympatric ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) and bobcats (Lynx rufus) in South Texas show substantial overlap in body size, food habits, and habitat use. Consequently, we explore whether temporal niche partitioning may explain ocelot and bobcat coexistence. We

Further occurrences of melanism in a northern, peripheral, population of Bobcat (Lynx rufus)

open access: yes, 2021
Although melanism is understood to occur commonly among some felids, it is reported to be most frequent among cat species that occur in humid, tropical, and densely vegetated habitats.

Carnivore space use shifts in response to seasonal resource availability

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Estimating spatial and temporal resource use and partitioning among carnivore species varies based on life history and is critical to understanding ecological relationships of sympatric carnivores and their prey.

Hunter selection for larger and older male bobcats affects annual harvest demography [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Wildlife researchers often rely on demographic data collected from harvested animals to estimate population dynamics. But demographic data from harvested animals may be non-representative if hunters/trappers have the ability and motivation to ...

Sex-specific effects of reproductive season on bobcat space use, movement, and resource selection in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Across taxa, sex-specific demands vary temporally in accordance with reproductive investments. In solitary carnivores, females must provision and protect young independently while meeting increased energetic demands.

Land Cover Trends in South Texas (1987–2050): Potential Implications for Wild Felids

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The Rio Grande Delta and surrounding rangelands in Texas has become one of the fastest urbanizing regions in the United States over the last 35 years. We assessed how land cover trends contributed to the large-scale processes that have driven land cover ...

The influence of predators, competitors, and habitat on the use of water sources by a small desert carnivore

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Free water can influence the ecology of desert species. While the use of free water is influenced by physiological factors (e.g., species‐specific water requirements, moisture in forage, temperature), nonphysiological factors, such as habitat ...
