| Camera-trap study of ocelot and other secretive mammals in the northern Pantanal | |
| 2005 Mammalia (69): 405-412 | |
Reliable information on abundance of the ocelot (_Leopardus pardalis_) is scarce. We conducted the first camera-trap study in the northern part of the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil, one of the wildlife hotspots of South America. Using capture-recapture analysis, we estimated a density of 0.112 independent individuals per km2 (SE 0.069). We list other mammals recorded with camera traps and show that camera-trap placement on roads or on trails has striking effects on camera-trapping rates. |
