| Ocelot _(Felis pardalis) _population densities, activity, and ranging behaviour in the dry forests of eastern Bolivia: data from camera trapping | |
| 2005 Journal of Tropical Ecology (21): 1-6 | |
Using systematic camera trap surveys, we compare the population density of ocelots(_Felis pardalis _L.) across five Bolivian dry-forest sites with different habitat types and/or annual rainfall regimes(Table 1). We hypothesize that ocelot densities will decline as rainfall declines. In addition, we estimate the population of ocelots in the 34 400-km2 Kaa-Iya del GranChaco National Park. Finally, we describe and evaluate additional ecological information provided by camera trapping: activity patterns relative to seasonality and moon phase, sex ratios, ranging patterns and relative abundance compared with sympatric felids. |
