Wildlife depends on specific landscape features to persist. Thus, characterizing the
vegetation available in an area can be essential for management. The ocelot (Leopardus …

Interspecific competition among carnivores has been linked to differences in behavior,
morphology, and resource use. Insights into these interactions can enhance understanding …

The competitive exclusion principle states that ecologically similar species will be unable to
coexist due to competition for resources, however, similar species coexist across a variety of …

About 80% of the known breeding population of ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in the USA
occurs exclusively on private ranches in northern Willacy and Kenedy counties in South …

Evaluating temporal trends in habitat and behavioral responses is critical for conservation,
yet long‐term monitoring studies are rare. We used a 35‐year dataset (1982–2017) to …

Few ecological studies have explored landscape suitability using the gradient concept of
landscape structure for wildlife species. Identification of conditions influencing the landscape …

Estimates of population density are crucial for wild felid conservation and are commonly
conducted using camera trapping. Spatially explicit capture-recapture (SCR) survey designs …

Reliable estimates of population density and size are crucial to wildlife conservation,
particularly in the context of the Endangered Species Act. In the United States, ocelots …

Context For depleted wildlife populations, understanding and effectively mitigating the direct
and indirect impacts of roads can be a key component of recovery efforts. The ocelot is a …

Habitat selection by animals is a complex, dynamic process that can vary across spatial and
