“…In the last two decades, several factors contributing to Neotropical carnivore coexistence have been studied using camera trapping (Vieira & Port, 2007;Di Bitetti et al, 2010;Bianchi et al, 2016). Additional applications of camera trapping include estimation of relative densities of elusive species Mackenzie et al, 2006), identification of critical habitats for threatened species and predicting their population trends (McCarthy et al, 2015).…”

Although known globally for its biodiversity, only around 5% of the Brazilian Pantanal is protected. The Network for Protection and Conservation of Amolar Mountain Ridge is an informal initiative that legally protects over 2000 km 2 of the Pantanal biome. Several camera-trapping surveys were carried out at Amolar Mountain Ridge from August 2011 to September 2013 in order to increase our knowledge of the species occurrence and its ecological requirements. The aims of this study were : 1) to inventory the carnivore species occurring within this network of protected areas; 2) to describe their activity patterns and 3) to discuss threats for those species' conservation in the region. We used the Kernel density method to describe the species' activity patterns. We obtained 764 records (from 12703 camera-days) of eight carnivores, including endangered species in Brazil, such as the jaguar (Panthera onca), puma (Puma concolor), and ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), that were among the most frequently recorded by camera traps. The other species detected were the South America coati (Nasua nasua), the tayra (Eira barbara), the crab-eating raccoon (Procyon cancrivorus) and the jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi). We provided information on activity patterns of the jaguar and puma, which exhibited cathemeral activity patterns, on the ocelot and crab-eating fox, which were mostly nocturnal, and on the Southern coati and jaguarundi, which were diurnal. Scansorial and species that occur naturally in low densities as the tayra and the crab-eating raccoon were difficult to be detected with the used camera trapping setting. However, due to the natural characteristics of the study area, camera trapping is among the most appropriate tools for providing data about carnivores and their prey. This information is essential to delineate conservation plans for Amolar Mountain Ridge.

“…Hal tersebut diindikasikan karena masih sedikitnya penelitian secara berkala terkait estimasi populasi Felidae di Pulau Sumatera. Beberapa penelitian lebih fokus terhadap kepadatan harimau sumatera (McCarthy, Wibisono, McCarthy, Fuller, & Andayani, 2015;Olviana, 2011;WCS-IP, 2015) dan macan dahan (Brodie & Giordano, 2012). Sedikitnya temuan pada tahun 2016 mempengaruhi dalam menarik kesimpulan mengenai indeks kelimpahan relatif.…”

“…Hal ini sesuai dengan pernyataan Ario (2010) bahwa spesies ini terdapat di hutan primer dan sekunder, cenderung menghindari pemukiman manusia. McCarthy et al (2015) menyatakan bahwa Kucing Batu sedikit ditemukan di kawasan tepi hutan dan jauh dari sungai. Selain itu pada lokasi yang sama tidak terekam potensi satwa mangsa untuk Kucing Batu karena Kucing Batu cenderung memangsa ikan, kadal, burung, katak, dan serangga (Ario, 2010).…”

“…Kucing hutan yang ditemukan dalam penelitian Pusparini, Wibisono, Reddy, Tarmizi, & Bharata (2014) hanya terekam di dataran rendah, hal ini diindikasikan adanya pengaruh yang disebabkan oleh gangguan antropogenik seperti perkampungan warga. Hal ini sesuai dengan pendapat McCarthy et al (2015) yang menyatakan bahwa penggunaan habitat oleh Kucing Hutan secara spasial paling terpisah atau berbeda dengan jenis lain, yakni sangat dekat dengan tepi hutan dan terdapat pada ketinggian yang rendah. Jenis ini dilaporkan dapat beradaptasi dengan baik di areal perkebunan sawit dan potensi mangsa yang melimpah menjadikan kucing ini dapat hidup pada habitat yang terganggu (Rajaratnam, Sunquist, Rajaratnam, & Ambu, 2007).…”

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society Indonesia Program (WCS-IP) to conduct a routine monitoring on terrestrial vertebrate mammals such as Felidae by using camera traps located at Resort Pemerihan-Way Haru. The research purposes was to identify the characteristics of the habitat, analyze the diversity and relative abundance index of Felidae in Resort Pemerihan-Way Haru, Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Lampung. The research methodologies used in this study were literature review, analysis of the vegetation and capture-recapture using camera traps. The important value index of the dominant vegetation of the Felidae's habitat is Etlingera sp (IVI = 22.47), for seedlling and sapling stage is Mallotus miquelianus (IVI = 15.03 and IVI = 17.51), for pole stage is Dillenia excelsa (IVI = 37.53) and tree stage is Dracontomelon dao (IVI = 14.89). Species successfully recorded in the camera traps is marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) (RAI = 0.14; n = 2) and leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) (RAI = 0.14; n = 2).

Replicated multiple scale species distribution models (SDMs) have become increasingly important to identify the correct variables determining species distribution and their influences on ecological responses. This study explores multi‐scale habitat relationships of the snow leopard ( Panthera uncia ) in two study areas on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau of western China. Our primary objectives were to evaluate the degree to which snow leopard habitat relationships, expressed by predictors, scales of response, and magnitude of effects, were consistent across study areas or locally landcape‐specific. We coupled univariate scale optimization and the maximum entropy algorithm to produce multivariate SDMs, inferring the relative suitability for the species by ensembling top performing models. We optimized the SDMs based on average omission rate across the top models and ensembles’ overlap with a simulated reference model. Comparison of SDMs in the two study areas highlighted landscape‐specific responses to limiting factors. These were dependent on the effects of the hydrological network, anthropogenic features, topographic complexity, and the heterogeneity of the landcover patch mosaic. Overall, even accounting for specific local differences, we found general landscape attributes associated with snow leopard ecological requirements, consisting of a positive association with uplands and ridges, aggregated low‐contrast landscapes, and large extents of grassy and herbaceous vegetation. As a means to evaluate the performance of two bias correction methods, we explored their effects on three datasets showing a range of bias intensities. The performance of corrections depends on the bias intensity; however, density kernels offered a reliable correction strategy under all circumstances. This study reveals the multi‐scale response of snow leopards to environmental attributes and confirms the role of meta‐replicated study designs for the identification of spatially varying limiting factors. Furthermore, this study makes important contributions to the ongoing discussion about the best approaches for sampling bias correction.
