Trophic ecology of sympatric small cats in the Brazilian Pampa.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Information about resource partitioning among small cat species that live in sympatry in South America is fairly incomplete. Knowledge about feeding habits is essential for understanding the role of these predators in the environment, the impact on prey ...

Ecological niche assessment and conservation status of colocolo pampas cat Leopardus colocola (Molina 1782)

Revista Peruana de Biología
Until 2021, Leopardus colocola was considered a species distributed across much of South America. However, recent studies have shown that it is a monotypic species, apparently restricted in its distribution to the central-northern region of Chile ...

Genetic Diversity, Demographic Parameters, and Trophic Ecology of the Pampas Cat (<i>Leopardus garleppi</i>) in a Ramsar Wetland of Northwestern Peru. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Background/Objectives: Habitat degradation and fragmentation reduce population size, genetic diversity, and connectivity, increasing extinction risk in small and isolated populations. Coastal wetlands of northwestern Peru have undergone extensive anthropogenic modification, yet the genetic and ecological status of resident carnivore populations remains

First record of melanism in the critically endangered Pampa cat (Leopardus munoai), an endemic species of the Pampa grasslands

Biota Neotropica, 2023
Abstract We report the first record of a melanistic individual of the critically endangered Pampa cat (Leopardus munoai), from July 8th, 2021, at 10:45 am (coordinates 30.096288° S; 54.941139° W) in the area of the Brazilian army, known as Campo de Instrução Barão de São Borja (CIBSB), popularly known as Saicã.

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.

The oldest available name for the pampas cat of the Uruguayan Savannah ecoregion is Leopardus fasciatus (Larrañaga 1923)

Therya, 2022
Based on a revision of historical and taxonomic accounts, we showed that Felis fasciatus Larrañaga, 1923, represents the oldest available Linnean name referable to the pampas cat endemic to the Uruguayan Savannah ecoregion, currently regarded as Leopardus munoai (Ximénez 1961).

Recurrent evolution of melanism in South American felids.

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

Comparing hair-morphology and molecular methods to identify fecal samples from Neotropical felids.

PLoS ONE, 2017
To avoid certain problems encountered with more-traditional and invasive methods in behavioral-ecology studies of mammalian predators, such as felids, molecular approaches have been employed to identify feces found in the field.
