Investigating animal activity patterns and temporal niche partitioning using camera‐trap data: Challenges and opportunities
Time‐stamped camera data are increasingly used to study temporal patterns in species and
community ecology, including species' activity patterns and niche partitioning. Given the …

Changing use of camera traps in mammalian field research: habitats, taxa and study types
J McCallum - Mammal Review, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Camera traps are automated cameras, triggered by movements, used to collect
photographic evidence of the presence of animals in field research. I asked whether the use …

A biodiversity hotspot losing its top predator: The challenge of jaguar conservation in the Atlantic Forest of South America
The jaguar is the top predator of the Atlantic Forest (AF), which is a highly threatened
biodiversity hotspot that occurs in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. By combining data sets …

Effects of human impacts on habitat use, activity patterns and ecological relationships among medium and small felids of the Atlantic Forest
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 …

Time Partitioning Favors the Coexistence of Sympatric Crab-Eating Foxes (Cerdocyon thous) and Pampas Foxes (Lycalopex gymnocercus)
Crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous) and pampas foxes (Lycalopex gymnocercus) are very
similar in body size and food habits, with distributional ranges that overlap extensively in …

Searching for sustainability: are assessments of wildlife harvests behind the times?
The unsustainable harvest of wildlife is a major threat to global biodiversity and to the
millions of people who depend on wildlife for food and income. Past research has called …
