Abstract Recently, the tiger-cat species complex was split into Leopardus tigrinus and guttulus , along with other proposed schemes. We performed a detailed analysis integrating ecological modeling, biogeography, phenotype of four originally recognized subspecies— oncilla pardinoides —and presented new multidimensional niche depiction species. Species distribution models used > 1400 records from museums photographs, all checked for accuracy. Morphological data were obtained...
This section highlights new and emerging areas of technology methodology. Topics may range from hardware software, to statistical analyses technologies that could be used in ecological research. Articles should no longer than a few thousand words, sent the editors, David Inouye (E-mail: inouye@umd.edu) or Sam Scheiner sschein@nsf.gov). The invention camera trap by George Shiras late 1890s its widespread adoption hunters 100 years later has armed scientists managers with powerful noninvasive...
We assessed the importance of potential sources mortality for Vulnerable southern pudu Pudu puda in Chile using clinical records wildlife rehabilitation centres, necropsies animals found field and a review diet predators. To assess whether identified operate nominally protected areas, we conducted camera-trap survey two areas to determine presence pudus their Predation by domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris car collisions were commonest causes admissions centres (35 44) deaths encountered...
We consider the image restoration problem with Gaussian-like point spread functions and reformulate it as an initial value for backwards diffusion equation. This approach leads to rigorous bounds on reliability of restoration, a function noise variance, without any assumptions spectral characteristics either signal or noise. In latter half paper, we then describe powerful algorithm, based above reformulation, successfully use restore turbulence degraded image. Typically, complete display...
We study preheating in a general class of supersymmetric hybrid inflation model. Supersymmetry leads to only one coupling constant the potential and thus natural frequency oscillation for homogeneous fields, whose classical evolution consequently differs from that (non-supersymmetric) emphasise importance mixing effects these models which can significantly change rate production particles. perform particles associated with show how is efficient producing quanta. Preheating other particle...
Throughout many arid lands of Africa, Australia and the United States, wildlife agencies provide water year-round for increasing game populations enhancing biodiversity, despite concerns that provisioning may favor species more dependent on water, increase predation, reduce biodiversity. In part, understanding effects requires identifying why when animals visit water. Employing this information, by matching with use target species, could assist management objectives while mitigating...
Montane cloud forests are highly threatened ecosystems that vulnerable to climate change. These complex habitats harbor many species suffer the negative consequences of this global phenomenon, such as shifts in their distribution and habitat use. The Central American clouded oncilla ( Leopardus pardinoides ) is smallest most endangered wild cat Mesoamerica primarily reported throughout its distribution. poorly understood, with no studies conducted America assessing preferences. To bridge...
The use of random, or null, models to determine whether species co-occurrences differ from chance expectations is an established technique in community ecology. Several methods have been used draw conclusions regarding co-occurrence patterns. We compared a sequential method derived previously with recently proposed new method. Despite similarities the methods, significant mathematical differences exist. two produce significantly different results on randomly generated example. While one was...
Abstract Aim I employed a novel null model and metric to uncover unusual species co‐occurrence patterns in herpetofaunal assemblage of 49 collected at discrete elevations along gradient. Location Mount Kupe, Cameroon. Methods Using construction algorithm that started from matrix 0s, sample space 25,000 unique matrices was generated by simultaneously conserving (1) the number occurrences each species, (2) site richness (3) range spans derived observed incidence matrix. then compared times...
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems have been most severely impacted in the Anthropocene with 27% of its species threatened extinction. Fishing Cat is a globally South and South-east Asian wetland felid that also highly rated Evolutionarily Distinct Globally Endangered (EDGE) species, i.e., it global priority for conservation research. Being an understudied knowledge gaps exist on basic ecology, such as distribution niche. To address this, ensemble modeling (ESDM) was used to clarify doubts...
