Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Jaguar Density at the Northeastern Limit of Its Distribution in Mexico. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents the first estimate of jaguar density in northeastern Mexico using a spatial capture–recapture model with random thinning, which incorporates both identified and unidentified camera trap detections. Conducted over 91 days with 104 cameras, the model yielded a density of 1.29 individuals per 100 km2 in the El Cielo–Sierra de Tamalave ...

Using camera traps to enhance community-based management of subsistence hunting in the Amazon. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Community‐based management and monitoring of biodiversity has emerged as a cost‐effective strategy for providing credible data, informing decision‐making, and empowering local communities in resource governance and management. However, the establishment of community‐based management of subsistence hunting in the Brazilian Amazon has been ...

Density and activity pattern of Leopardus wiedii and Leopardus pardalis in Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico [PDF]

Therya, 2017
The margay, Leopardus wiedii, and the ocelot, L. pardalis, are sympatric species through their distribution areas.  Some studies indicate that L. pardalis exerts a strong influence on other smaller felids.  Our goal in this study was to estimate the density and activity patterns of these felid species in two vegetation types at Sierra Norte of Oaxaca ...
