“…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 ...

“…En específico se incorporaron las siguientes variables bioclimáticas: BIO1 = temperatura media anual, BIO5 = temperatura máxima de mes más caluroso, BIO6 = temperatura mínima de mes más frío, BIO12 = precipitación anual, BIO13 = precipitación de mes más húmedo y BIO14 = precipitación de mes más seco. Estas variables han sido asociadas con la distribución de los felinos en otras regiones (Jiménez-Maldonado, 2007;Bárcenas & Medellín, 2010;Cuervo-Robayo & MonroyVilchis, 2012). Para evaluar si existía una distribución diferencial de las especies de felinos en función de las características del ambiente, se realizó un análisis de escalamiento multidimensional no métrico (NMDS).…”

Distribution patterns of wild felids (Carnivora: Felidae) in the dry tropics of Central-Western Mexico. The Michoacán state is characterized by the existence of important environmental heterogeneity in terms of climate, topography and types of vegetation, which includes the worldwide endangered tropical dry forest. Some reports indicating the presence of the six species of felids occurring in Mexico in this region have been made; however, evidence to support these reports is scant, and filling this lack of information is particularly critical in the case of threatened species or habitats. The aim of this study was to systematize and analyze data distribution patterns of felids in the state of Michoacán, in the Central-Western Mexico. We conducted a review of literature and databases to compile species presence records in the study region. Moreover, we analyzed data obtained from ten years of field work conducted in the region, in which complementary methods (detection of direct and indirect evidence of species occurrence along transects, camera-trapping and interviews to local people) were applied to detect the presence of felid species. We compiled a total of 29 presence records of felids in the region from our review. Additionally, field work, which accumulated 1 107.5 km of walked transects, and 8 699 camera-trap days, produced 672 records of species presence. Lynx rufus was the species with the lowest number of records and the most restricted distribution. In contrast, the species with the greatest number of records was Leopardus pardalis (n = 343). In general, 89% of felids records occurred below 1 000 masl. Overall mean annual temperature of presence records was 24 °C and mean annual precipitation was 1 040 mm. The species whose presence records showed the most distinctive pattern, in terms of temperature and precipitation associated, was L. rufus (15.8 ± 1.3°C and 941 ± 171 mm). Results of a cluster analysis showed that areas supporting different combinations of eco-regions and types of vegetation could be grouped in five clusters having different assemblages of felid species and camera-trapping records. This study results useful to garner a more comprehensive view of the distribution patterns of felids in a region with important environmental contrasts and subjected to an increased human pressure. Moreover, this study provides insights that further our understanding of the relationship between environmental variables and felid distribution patterns which may have an impact for conservation and management strategies at the local and regional levels.

“…Historically, the ocelot has been found within habitats such as tropical evergreen forest, semideciduous and deciduous tropical forests, mountain cloud forest, mangrove forest, and less frequently in xerophytic scrubland (Murray andGardner 1997, Aranda 2005). In recent years it has been recorded in sites not previously reported in Mexico, increasing the known distribution range for this felid ( Iglesias et al 2008, Bárcenas and Medellín 2010, Ramírez-Bravo 2010et al, Ahumada-Carrillo et al 2013, Valdez-Jiménez et al 2013, Aranda et al 2014. The ocelot is an endangered species in Mexico (SEMARNAT 2010) and has been listed in Appendix I of CITES since 1990 (http://www.cites.org/esp/ app/index.php).…”

“…This record is noteworthy because it is the first confirmed record for a live ocelot both in the state of Durango and in the MBR. Further, the ocelot's occurrence at an altitude of 2750 m asl is uncommon ( Iglesias et al 2008, Bárcenas and Medellín 2010, Ahumada-Carrillo et al 2013, Aranda et al 2014. The ocelot has been recorded at 3000 m asl, but most records in Mexico are below 1000 m (Aranda 2005).…”

“…The ocelot has been recorded at 3000 m asl, but most records in Mexico are below 1000 m (Aranda 2005). The ocelot was observed in an oak (Q. alba) forest, and only 2 other ocelot records in temperate forests have been published (Bárcenas andMedellín 2010, López-González et al 2014). The nearest record of an ocelot in the area is 120 km away in the state of Sinaloa (Hall 1981).…”
