Potential distribution of the oncilla <em>Leopardus tigrinus</em> (Carnivora: Felidae) based on high-resolution spatial data and camera traps in a national park in Peru

Journal of Animal Behaviour and Biometeorology
Potential species distribution models (SDMs) are typically evaluated over large territories via low-resolution spatial data and biased presence records. The Parque Nacional de Tingo María (National Park; PNTM, by their initials in Spanish), a small territory, presents challenges for this type of study.  This study aimed to analyze the SDM of an oncilla

Comportamiento horario y movilidad de la Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus): Con relación a sus interacciones presa - predador

The oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), the smallest feline in Colombia, faces a decrease in its population due to habitat loss, placing it in a vulnerable state. This study aims to analyze how the presence of large predators (>8 kg) and prey availability influence the activity patterns of the oncilla at the Zygia biological station, located in the ...

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.

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 ...

Mesopredators in forest edges 森林边缘地带的中级捕食者

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 107-118, September 2023., 2023
A key Asian mesopredator (leopards cats) is positively associated with forest edges and oil palm plantations. Abstract Fragments and edges account for most remaining forest habitats globally. Apex predators and megaherbivores often decline in these degraded habitats while smaller generalist omnivores can persist or thrive in forest edges, especially if

Understanding carnivore interactions in a cold arid trans‐Himalayan landscape: What drives co‐existence patterns within predator guild along varying resource gradients?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
The study looks at the competitive dynamics of the red fox, a native mesopredator, and free‐ranging dog, an introduced mesopredator, as well as their interactions with the region's top carnivores, the snow leopard and the Himalayan wolf, in northern India's trans‐Himalayan landscape.
