If you build it, will they come? A comparative landscape analysis of ocelot roadkill locations and crossing structures

PLoS ONE, 2022
Wildlife-vehicle collisions can have a substantial influence on the mortality rates of many wildlife populations. Crossing structures are designed to mitigate the impact of road mortality by allowing safe passage of wildlife above or below roads, and ...

Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) Density in Central Amazonia

PLoS ONE, 2016
Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are presumed to be the most abundant of the wild cats throughout their distribution range and to play an important role in the dynamics of sympatric small-felid populations.

Checklist and Review of Population Genetic Studies with Molecular Markers Applied to the Wild Cat Species Present in Colombia for Conservation Purposes [PDF]

Animals
At least seven species of wild cats inhabit Colombia, and these species are also distributed throughout Mexico, Central America, and the rest of South America (jaguar, puma, jaguarundi, ocelot, margay, tigrina, and Pampas cat).

Natural dispersal or illegal pets? Limitations on assigning origin to road-killed ocelots in the southwestern United States†

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) is a spotted felid that is critically endangered in the United States (U.S.). During spring 2010, 2 ocelots were road‐killed in the southwestern U.S.

Characterization of a new anellovirus species infecting an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in Brazil [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2023
A complete genome of the first anellovirus infecting the wild felid Leopardus pardalis (ocelot) and a partial genome were assembled and annotated through high-throughput sequencing protocols followed by Sanger sequencing validation. The full-length virus

Highway Crossing Rates of Wild Felids Before, During, and After Wildlife Crossing Structure Installation [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
In an environment increasingly dominated by roads, wildlife crossing structures (WCS) have been installed to decrease wildlife mortality and improve habitat linkages.

Case report: Renal adenoma in a captive ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in Costa Rica [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Reports of renal neoplasia are rare in neotropical wildcats. Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are medium-sized wildcats living in America’s tropical forests.

Understanding Sex‐Specific Behavioral States of Bobcats in Response to Highway Proximity in South Texas [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Roads are a major source of landscape fragmentation that can influence movement patterns, survival, and behavioral states of carnivore species. Understanding their behavior and response to roads is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies ...

Ocelot Population Status in Protected Brazilian Atlantic Forest [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Forest fragmentation and habitat loss are detrimental to top carnivores, such as jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma concolor), but effects on mesocarnivores, such as ocelots (Leopardus pardalis), are less clear. Ocelots need native forests, but also

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

PLoS 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
