“…These are the first records of Ocelot for Santa Rosa de Cabal municipality, being the first records for the department of Risaralda outside of forest cover or a protected area (Castaño et al 2018). These findings support the idea of Ocelot are opportunistic animals with a high capacity to adapt to fragmented environments (Michalski et al 2010;Galindo-Aguilar et al 2016;Wang et al 2019), and their diet changes depending on the habitat and availability of prey (Payán Garrido et al 2015). The agro-ecosystems of the area is used by various synanthropic prey such as Dasyprocta punctata, Dasypus novemcinctus, Didelphis marsupialis and Syntheosciurus granatensis, which may be key to contributing to the movement of Ocelots through patches of cover and eventually access agro-ecosystems to move to search of prey.…”

This note presents the first record of Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in a rural area in the municipality of Santa Rosa de Cabal. This finding was obtained by a camera trap. In addition, there were two records by habitants of the sector. These records are of great importance since they are the first in the department of Risaralda outside of protected areas, so arises the idea of implementing monitoring and conservation plans.

“…En México, su distribución abarca los estados de Sonora, Sinaloa, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, hacia el centro Hidalgo, Puebla, Morelos y Oaxaca y hacia el sur en Chiapas, Quintana Roo hasta Yucatán Bárcenas y Medellín 2010;Galindo-Aguilar et al 2016;García-Bastida et al 2016;Hernán-dez-Flores et al 2013;Iglesias et al 2008;Martínez-Calderas et al 2011;Valdez-Jiménez et al 2013). Este felino al igual que otras especies de vertebrados terrestres, tiene problemas de conservación (e. g., pérdida y fragmentación de hábitat, caza ilegal por depredación de aves de corral y el comercio ilegal de pieles), que en conjunto han provocado una reducción paulatina de su área de distribución en México y en los otros países donde se distribuye, originando un declive poblacional y en otros casos la desaparición local (Aranda 2005;Di Bitetti et al 2008;Sunquist y Sunquist 2002).…”

Ocelots are at risk of extinction due to anthropogenic pressures. Therefore, it is essential to generate information about this species in zones with climatic and anthropogenic pressures in order to determine appropriate measures for their conservation. Our goals were to determine population density, relative abundance, activity patterns and minimum observed home ranges of ocelots in northern Quintana Roo, Mexico. During 2008, we conducted systematic sampling for 60 days using camera-traps in Northern Quintana Roo, Mexico. The camera-trap grid covered an area of 81 km 2 and included El Eden Ecological Reserve. We placed 27 camera-trap stations: 18 with a single camera and 9 with two. Camera-trap stations were spaced approximately 1 kilometer apart. Our total sampling effort was 2160 trap-days. We registered 12 individual ocelots: five males, six females, and one of undetermined sex. The density estimated using CAPTURE program was 14 ind/100 km 2 , while the density estimated for each sex separately was 7 ind/100 km 2 . We estimated a relative abundance index of 1.85 ± 0.27 in tropical forest, 1.11 ± 0.22 in secondary vegetation and 0.185 ± 0.09 in savannah. The ocelot was more active at night. The minimum observed home range of male ocelots was larger than that of females, 4.63 km 2 and 1.80 km 2 respectively. We presented some ecological data of ocelot in El Eden Ecological Reserve and its area of influence. These results constitute an important baseline to make a comparison in areas adjacent that have strong climatic and anthropic pressures. Finally, the area is one of the most important for the conservation of ocelot in México.El ocelote está en riesgo de extinción debido a factores antropogénicos. Por lo tanto, generar información sobre esta especie en zonas con impactos climáticos y antrópicos se convierte en esencial para determinar medidas adecuadas para su conservación. Nuestros objetivos fueron determinar la densidad de población, abundancia relativa, los patrones de actividad y áreas mínimas de acción del ocelote en el norte de Quintana Roo, México. Durante el 2008 se realizó un muestreo sistemático de 60 días mediante foto-trampeo en el norte de Quintana Roo. El diseño se implementó para muestrear un área de 81 km 2 , que incluye a la Reserva Ecológica El Edén. Se colocaron 27 estaciones de cáma-ras trampa, 18 fueron sencillas y 9 dobles, cada estación de foto-trampeo tuvo una separación aproximada de 1 kilómetro. En total tuvimos un esfuerzo de muestreo de 2160 días/trampa. Se registraron 12 ocelotes, cinco machos, seis hembras y un individuo sin determinar el sexo. La densidad estimada de ocelotes usando el programa "CAPTURE" fue de 14 ind/100 km 2 , mientras que la densidad estimada para machos y hembras fue de 7 ind/100 km 2 . El índice de abundancia relativa fue de: 1.85 ± 0.27 para selva mediana, 1.11 ± 0.22 para vegetación secundaria y 0.185 ± 0.09 para sabana. El ocelote presentó su mayor actividad por la noche y el área de acción de los machos fue mayor al de las hembras, 4.63 km 2 y 1.80 km ...

“…The polygon of the Reserve holds a large patch of primary vegetation that is possibly used by ocelots as a transit corridor in SMO (Table 2). It is worth mentioning that, besides the ocelot population located in the Sierra del Abra-Tanchipa (Martínez-Hernández et al 2014), a second population known for eastern Mexico is located in Sierra Negra (Galindo-Aguilar et al 2016). Sierra Negra is an area still covered by patches of primary vegetation and optimal and sub-optimal habitats that favor the presence of ocelots and some potential prey (Galindo-Aguilar et al 2016).…”

“…Our results from the potential distribution model suggest that Los Mármoles and the Necaxa River did not present optimum environmental conditions for the presence of ocelots, although these may function as transit areas. In this regard, the subsequent record in Los Mármoles (Aguilar-López et al 2016) suggests that the region may be used as a transit area towards the southern Sierra Madre, indicating that the ocelot is probably tolerant to certain degree of human disturbance (Galindo-Aguilar et al 2016).…”

The ocelot is one of the six species of felids distributed in Mexico. This species is threatened with extinction and thus protected by the Mexican government. Knowledge about the environmental factors that affect its presence is a crucial step in identifying key areas and designing strategies for the conservation of this species. The aim of this study was to document the presence of the ocelot to determine its potential distribution and identify important conservation areas in the southern Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Negra of Puebla (as part of the northern Sierra Madre del Sur). We conducted camera-trap surveys from October 2013 through January 2014, placing 63 camera-trap stations distributed in both areas. The overall sampling effort was 2,381 trap-days. The presence of the ocelot was recorded in the Sierra del Abra-Tanchipa Biosphere Reserve, in San Luis Potosi and Sierra Negra in Puebla. An estimated 78 % of the study sites hold suitable environmental conditions for the potential presence of ocelots. The variables that jointly accounted for 65 % of the potential distribution were related to precipitation, namely precipitation of the driest trimester, of the wettest month, and of the warmest trimester. Our potential distribution models suggest the existence of priority regions for ocelot conservation. This research updates the present status of the ocelot in the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Negra in Puebla, sites that have been subject to high habitat encroachment by human settlements.El ocelote es una de las seis especies de felinos que se distribuyen en México. Está especie se encuentra amenazada y por tanto protegida por el gobierno mexicano. El conocimiento sobre qué factores ambientales afectan su presencia es un paso crucial en el diseño o la propuesta de áreas de conservación para las especies. El objetivo de este trabajo fue documentar la presencia del ocelote para generar una distribución potencial e identificar sitios para su conservación en el sur de la Sierra Madre Oriental y Sierra Negra de Puebla (que es parte del norte de la Sierra Madre del Sur). Para ello, se realizó un muestreo con 63 estaciones de foto-trampeo distribuidas en ambas áreas entre octubre de 2013 y enero de 2014. En total, realizamos un esfuerzo de muestreo de 2,381 días/trampa. La presencia del ocelote se registró en la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra del Abra-Tanchipa en San Luis Potosí y Sierra Negra en Puebla. Estimamos que el 78 % del área de estudio tiene condiciones ambientales adecuadas para la presencia potencial del ocelote. Las variables que tuvieron una contribución acumulada del 65 % para explicar su distribución potencial estuvieron relacionas con la precipitación y fueron tres: precipitación del trimestre más seco, del mes más lluvioso y del trimestre más cálido. Los modelos de distribución sugieren la existencia de sitios prioritarios para la conservación de ocelotes. Este trabajo representa un avance fundamental en la situación actual del ocelote y su área de distribución en la Sierra Madre Oriental y Si...
