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 ...

Postmortem Abdominal Ultrasound in Healthy Wild Mammals for Application in Forensic Veterinary Medicine. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Diagnostic imaging methods have been used in human medicine to identify and examine cadavers to determine the cause of death. In veterinary medicine, the use of these resources is still scarce and little known, and it is necessary to establish the contribution that methods such as ultrasound could provide to the investigation of the cause of death in ...

The Role of Somatic Cell Synchronization in Nuclear Transfer and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Wild Felids. [PDF]

Zoo Biol
Cell cycle and cells subjected to synchronization in G0/G1. ABSTRACT Human interference reduces wild felid populations. Somatic cell nuclear transfer and the use of induced pluripotent stem cells are potential conservation strategies. To improve the efficiency of these strategies, it is essential to establish adequate protocols for the synchronization ...

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.

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).

Genetic structure and climate niche differentiation among populations of Leopardus geoffroyi. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) is a small‐sized felid present in a wide variety of habitats in South America, including areas with high levels of anthropization. We identified two genetic clusters, one in the north‐northeast of the species' distribution and the other in the south‐southwest, the latter showing lower genetic variability and a more ...
