Competition theory and niche theory suggest that two morphologically similar species may
coexist by reducing the overlap of at least one dimension of their ecological niche. The …

Carnivores have long been used as model organisms to examine mechanisms that allow
coexistence among ecologically similar species. Interactions between carnivores, including …

Carnivores have been used as a model to understand the effects of competition in
community structure. Behavioral mechanisms that facilitate species coexistence have been …

Small felids influence ecosystem dynamics through prey and plant population changes.
Although most of these species are threatened, they are accorded one of the lowest …

Mechanisms that decrease niche overlap in at least one of its dimensions (ie, spatial,
temporal, or dietary) tend to facilitate coexistence of similar, sympatric species. We …

We investigated the density and activity of the oncilla, Leopardus tigrinus (Schreber, 1775),
a threatened small cat, in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, using camera-trap data. We described …

The spatiotemporal distribution of a predator within an environment tends to be
synchronized with that of its prey, to maximize the efficiency of its hunting behavior …

Populations of feral (not owned by humans) and domestic cats F elis catus coexist in most
inhabited islands, and they have similar impacts on native species. Feral cats are generally …

The spatial organization of two populations of feral house cats Felis catus, was examined in
the Galápagos Islands using mark-recapture and radio telemetry. Both populations were …

Home range and minimal population densities of Southern tiger cat (Leopardus guttulus),
margay (Lepardus wiedii) and jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) were estimated between …
