Phylogeographic analyses of the pampas cat (Leopardus colocola; Carnivora, Felidae) reveal a complex demographic history [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2018
The pampas cat is a small felid that occurs in open habitats throughout much of South America. Previous studies have revealed intriguing patterns of morphological differentiation and genetic structure among its populations, as well as molecular evidence ...

Influence of ancient glacial periods on the Andean fauna: the case of the pampas cat (Leopardus colocolo) [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background While numerous studies revealed the major role of environmental changes of the Quaternary on the evolution of biodiversity, research on the influence of that period on current South-American fauna is scarce and have usually focused on lowland ...

Multidrug Resistance in Enterococci Isolated From Wild Pampas Foxes (Lycalopex gymnocercus) and Geoffroy's Cats (Leopardus geoffroyi) in the Brazilian Pampa Biome [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Enterococci are ubiquitous microorganisms present in various environments and within the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and other animals. Notably, fecal enterococci are suitable indicators for monitoring antimicrobial resistance dissemination ...

New Pampas cat Leopardus colocolo (Molina, 1782) (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) records for the Chaco ecoregion raise questions on the distribution and population status of this felid in Argentina [PDF]

Check List, 2020
The Pampas cat is a poorly-known small felid distributed throughout a large portion of South America, reported as extinct in the Pampas of Argentina, and absent from a large portion of the Argentine Dry Chaco.

Recurrent evolution of melanism in South American felids. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2015
Morphological variation in natural populations is a genomic test bed for studying the interface between molecular evolution and population genetics, but some of the most interesting questions involve non-model organisms that lack well annotated reference

Field Chemical Immobilization of Andean and Pampas Cats in the High‐Altitude Andes

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2020
Three protocols (Ketamine–Medetomidine, Ketamine–Xylazine and Ketamine–Medetomidine–Midazolam) were used to immobilize 2 sympatric wild cat species, the critically endangered Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita), and the relatively more common Pampas cat (L ...

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).

The Nariño Cat, the Tigrinas and Their Problematic Systematics and Phylogeography: The Real Story [PDF]

Animals
The systematics and phylogeny of the most speciose genus (Leopardus) of the felidae have historically been contentious and problematic. These issues have been compounded with the recent advancement of genetic techniques that make it possible to detect ...

Temporal overlap between two sympatric carnivores in northwestern Peru and southwestern Ecuador

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2020
The coexistence of sympatric species is determined by differences in their ecological niche.  Thus, for taxonomically and ecologically similar species to coexist, they must segregate in at least one of the three most important dimensions of the ...

How effective is camera trapping in monitoring grassland species in the southern Pampas ecoregion?

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2023
We assessed the efficiency of camera trapping in monitoring bird and mammal species in the grasslands of Tandilia Mountains by calculating the naïve occupancy, capture rate, and time to the first detection for each species.
