Temporal and dietary segregation in a neotropical small-felid assemblage and its relation to prey activity
Mammalian Biology, 2019Co-Authors: Mariana B. Nagy-reis, Victor H. S. Iwakami, Cesar A. Estevo, Eleonore Z. F. SetzAbstract:Mechanisms that decrease niche overlap in at least one of its dimensions (i.e., spatial, temporal, or dietary) tend to facilitate coexistence of similar, sympatric species. We investigated whether temporal or dietary segregation plays a significant role in the coexistence of Neotropical small felids. In addition, we examined the role of prey activity in shaping their time use. We compared the activity and diet of four felids ( oncilla - Leopardus gutullus , margay - L. wiedii , Jaguarundi - Puma yagouaroundi , and ocelot - L. pardalis ) using camera trapping and scat surveys (45 sampling sites) in an Atlantic Forest remnant (35,000 ha) in Brazil. Ocelot, margay, and oncilla seem to be generalists and, overall, they consumed mammalian prey species of distinct sizes. As a consequence, we found moderate dietary overlap between all pairs of felids and low between ocelot and the other species. Oncilla and margay seem to be cathemeral, Jaguarundi diurnal, and ocelot nocturnal, which resulted in low to moderate temporal overlap between them, potentially decreasing interspecific encounters. Predator-prey temporal overlap seems to be moderate for oncilla, margay, and Jaguarundi, but high for ocelot. Our results suggest that time partitioning associated with dietary differences contribute to the coexistence of this Neotropical small-felid assemblage, and that prey activity is a factor shaping their activity pattern, especially for ocelot.

Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) (Geoffroy, 1803) (Carnivora, Felidae) food habits in a mosaic of Atlantic Rainforest and eucalypt plantations of southeastern Brazil
Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia, 2009Co-Authors: Cf. Tófoli, F. Rohe, Eleonore Z. F. SetzAbstract:Food habits of Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) (Geoffroy, 1803) (Carnivora, Felidae) were studied between November 2000 and November 2001, in a 24.9 km(2) area of secondary Atlantic Rainforest and eucalypt plantation, in the Serra de Paranapiacaba, São Paulo State, Brazil. Analyses of 26 fecal and regurgitate samples, obtained over a stretch of 570.1 km, showed the consumption of 19 prey items and 74 prey occurrences. Small mammals were the most frequent food item (42.5%), followed by birds (21%), reptiles (14%) and medium-sized mammals (3%). The percent occurrence (PO) suggests that the diet consisted mainly of small rodents (30%) and birds (21%). We recorded for the first time the predation of Viperidae snakes by P. yagouaroundi. Although having a large list of items and range of dietary niche breadths (Bsta = 0.76), our data show that Jaguarundi prey mainly on small vertebrates (mammals, birds or reptiles), and even in tall tropical forests or eucalypt plantations, it preys mostly on animals that come to, or live on, the ground.

Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia, 2009Co-Authors: Cf. Tófoli, F. Rohe, Eleonore Z. F. SetzAbstract:A dieta de uma populacao de Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) (Geoffroy, 1803) (Carnivora, Felidae) foi estudada entre novembro de 2000 e novembro de 2001, em 24,9 km2 de mosaico de Mata Atlântica secundaria e reflorestamento de eucalipto na Serra de Paranapiacaba, Sao Paulo, Brasil. A analise das 26 amostras fecais e regurgitadas, obtidas em 570.1 km de percurso, indicou o consumo de 19 itens alimentares em um total de 74 ocorrencias de presas. Pequenos mamiferos foram os itens mais frequentemente encontrados na dieta (42,5%), seguidos por aves (21%), repteis (14%) e mamiferos de tamanho medio (3%). A porcentagem de ocorrencia (PO) sugere que a dieta concentra-se, principalmente, em pequenos roedores (30%) e aves (21%). Foi tambem registrada a predacao sobre serpentes da familia Viperidae. A amplitude de nicho alimentar padronizada (Bsta = 0,76) mostra uma dieta generalista, entretanto, os dados sugerem que o Jaguarundi consome principalmente pequenos vertebrados (mamiferos, aves ou repteis), sobretudo, especies terrestres.

Mamíferos medianos y grandes del municipio de Victoria, Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra Gorda Guanajuato, México
Acta Universitaria, 2017Co-Authors: Juan Felipe Charre Medellín, Gloria Magaña-cota, Tiberio C. Monterrubio-rico, Ruth Tafolla-muñoz, Joel L. Charre-luna, Francisco BotelloAbstract:Conservation of mammals in central Mexico is vital, because of their complex functional roles in ecosystems locally. The aim of this study is to determine the richness and abundance of medium and large size mammals in the different vegetation types in the municipal ity of Victoria, Guanajuato. Between 2007 and 2013 five localities of the municipality were surveyed by placing camera traps along random sites on wildlife trails. With a sampling effort of 9803 trap-days we recorded 18 species of mammals of six orders, highlighting three wild felidae (bobcat, cougar and Jaguarundi). The pine-oak forest contained the highest richness with 17 species, whereas in the submontane scrub 16 species were registered. These results increase our understanding of the regional patterns of mammal richness and distribution for areas of central Mexico, and are particularly relevant for the design of management plans for the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve.

Primeros registros de 4 especies de felinos en el sur de Puebla, México
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Instituto de Biología., 2015Co-Authors: Farías Verónica, Botello Francisco, Téllez Oswaldo, Hernández Omar, Berruecos Jessica, Olivares, Saúl J., Hernandez, Julio C.Abstract:ResumenSe presentan los primeros registros de margay (Leopardus wiedii), gato montés (Lynx rufus), puma (Puma concolor) y Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) en el sur del estado de Puebla. El trabajo de campo fue parte de una monitorización participativa que incluyó a las autoridades civiles del ejido. Se colocaron 11 estaciones de cámaras-trampa digitales que funcionaron del 18 de diciembre de 2012 al 18 de febrero de 2014. Con un esfuerzo de muestreo de 2,669 días-trampa y dentro del conjunto de registros obtenidos, se pudieron registrar por primera vez para la región 4 especies de felinos mediante 3 registros de L. wiedii, 26 de L. rufus, 7 de P. concolor y 4 de P. yagouaroundi. Fue posible con estos registros documentar la presencia de una hembra adulta de P. concolor con sus 2 crías. Los rangos de distribución conocidos de L. wiedii y P. yagouaroundi aumentaron en el centro de México. Las especies identificadas coexisten en la selva baja caducifolia del territorio ejidal de San José Axuxco, Puebla, dentro de los límites de la Reserva de la Biosfera Tehuacán-Cuicatlán. La localidad debe de considerarse prioritaria para la conservación de las poblaciones de las especies de felinos amenazados en la región.AbstractThe first records of margay (Leopardus wiedii), bobcat (Lynx rufus), cougar (Puma concolor), and yaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) in the southern state of Puebla are presented. Field work was achieved by participative monitoring in collaboration with local authorities. A total of 11 stations of digital camera traps were set up that worked from December 18th, 2012 thru February 19th, 2014. With a sampling effort of 2,669 trap-days and with the presence data obtained it was possible to document for the first time the presence of 4 felid species for the region through 3 records of L. wiedii, 26 of L. rufus, 7 of P. concolor, and 4 of P. yagouaroundi. It was also possible to document the presence of one adult female of P. concolor with her 2 kittens. The known distribution ranges of L. wiedii and P. yagouaroundi were enlarged for central México. The identified species coexist in the tropical dry forest of San José Axuxco within the limits of Tehuacán-Cuicatlán biosphere reserve. The locality is potentially prioritary for the conservation of populations of endangered felids in the region
