Natural Selection of Melanism in Costa Rican Jaguar and Oncilla: A Test of Gloger’s Rule and the Temporal Segregation Hypothesis [PDF]

open access: yesTropical Conservation Science, 2020
The persistence of coat color polymorphisms—such as the coexistence of melanistic and “wild-type” coat color—is an ongoing evolutionary puzzle. We tested the predictions of Gloger’s rule and the Temporal Segregation hypothesis that propose that melanistic individuals will (a) occur more frequently in closed tropical forest versus open habitat due to ...

Renal ultrasonographic evaluation in the oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus).

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2004
Ultrasonography is currently used in veterinary medicine to examine the anatomy and physiology of internal organs and to establish normal standards for exotic animal species. Specifically, the kidneys may be evaluated and measured in length, width, and height.

Influence of Cinnamon and Catnip on the Stereotypical Pacing of Oncilla Cats (Leopardus tigrinus) in Captivity

Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 2011
Nonhuman animals in captivity can experience environmental privation that results in their exhibiting abnormal behaviors. Environmental enrichment techniques can help improve their welfare. This study investigated the behavior of 8 zoo-housed oncilla cats (Leopardus tigrinus) in response to 2 odors (catnip and cinnamon) introduced individually into the

Oncilla: A GAS runtime for efficient resource allocation and data movement in accelerated clusters

2013 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing (CLUSTER), 2013
Accelerated and in-core implementations of Big Data applications typically require large amounts of host and accelerator memory as well as efficient mechanisms for transferring data to and from accelerators in heterogeneous clusters. Scheduling for heterogeneous CPU and GPU clusters has been investigated in depth in the high-performance computing (HPC)

Time Budget and Activity Patterns of Oncilla Cats (Leopardus tigrinus) in Captivity

Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 2014
Researchers have reported on the diet of Leopardus tigrinus and ecological aspects, but studies of behavior are scarce. The aims of this study were to describe the time budget and activity patterns of 10 captive Leopardus tigrinus individuals. The group had an activity budget of 66% resting, 20.66% moving, 6.08% vigilant, 3.12% feeding, and 4.14% other

COMPARISON BETWEEN DEXMEDETOMIDINE–S-KETAMINE AND MIDAZOLAM–S-KETAMINE IN IMMOBILIZATION OF ONCILLA (LEOPARDUS TIGRINUS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2016
Established immobilization protocols are required for safe procedures on wildlife and zoo animals. This study evaluated the cardiovascular, respiratory, and anesthetic effects of dexmedetomidine (40 μg/kg) with S-ketamine (5 mg/kg) and midazolam (0.5 mg/kg) with S-ketamine (5 mg/kg) in 12 specimens of oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) at Quinzinho de Barros

A High-Elevation Record of the Little Spotted Cat (Leopardus tigrinus oncilla) from Western Panama

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2017
Abstract We report a record of the endangered Central American little spotted cat (Leopardus tigrinus oncilla) from Volcan Baru National Park in the state of Chiriqui, Panama, from a scat identified through noninvasive genetics. This record, from just below the summit of Panama's highest peak, represents the highest-elevation record for the species in ...
