Comparing trotting and turning strategies on the quadrupedal oncilla robot [PDF]

2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2013
In this paper, we compare three different trotting techniques and five different turning strategies on a small, compliant, biologically inspired quadrupedal robot, the Oncilla. The locomotion techniques were optimized on the actual hardware using a treadmill setup, without relying on models.

Heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) disease in a Brazilian oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2009
Heartworm disease is caused by the intravascular nematode Dirofilaria immitis, a pathogen of public health importance usually associated to domestic dogs and cats, and to a lesser extend to other mammal species. The oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) is a threatened neotropic felid species that naturally occurs in Brazil.

The role of melanism in oncillas on the temporal segregation of nocturnal activity [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2014
The occurrence of coat colour polymorphisms in populations may promote the ecological success of species by permitting a wider spectrum of use of different subsets of available resources. We conducted an analysis of temporal segregation by comparing night brightness with nocturnal activity of spotted and melanistic oncillas (Leopardus tigrinus ...

Avaliação de alguns parâmetros ecocardiográficos do gato-do-mato (Leopardus tigrinus), mantido em cativeiro e submetido à anestesia com xilazina e quetamina Evaluation of some echocardiographic parameters of Oncilla (L. tigrinus), kept in captivity and submitted to anesthesia with xilazine and ketamine

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2007
Avaliaram-se alguns parâmetros ecocardiográficos em modos B, M e Doppler de 27 gatos-do-mato, Leopardus tigrinus, pequeno felídeo selvagem, mantidos em cativeiro e submetidos à anestesia com 1 a 2mg/kg de xilazina e 10mg/kg de quetamina.

Novel Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaherpesviruses in Neotropical Carnivores of Brazil. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
The knowledge regarding infectious agents affecting wildlife is crucial for species’ conservation. We hypothesized that herpesviruses are present in wild Neotropical carnivores. Herein, we used DNA polymerase and glycoprotein B broad‐spectrum PCRs to molecularly survey the presence of herpesviruses in spleen and/or lung samples of 53 wild Neotropical ...

Photographic documentation of melanism in bobcats (Lynx rufus) in the Greater Everglades. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We report the rare observations of melanistic bobcats in their natural environment within the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. We also discuss the factors that could support melanistic phenotypes within this subtropical environment. Abstract We document the presence of bobcats (Lynx rufus) that demonstrate melanism in the Greater Everglades.

Prey availability and temporal partitioning modulate felid coexistence in Neotropical forests. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2019
Carnivores have long been used as model organisms to examine mechanisms that allow coexistence among ecologically similar species. Interactions between carnivores, including competition and predation, comprise important processes regulating local ...
