A comparison and critique of different scat‐analysis methods for determining carnivore diet (2011, methodology): “Finally, we calculated diet diversity using Levins’ (1968) measure of niche breadth (B; Breuer 2005) and dietary overlap using Horn’s (1966) index of overlap (R0; Weckel et al. 2006).”
Sex matters: Modeling male and female habitat differences for jaguar conservation (2010, background): “Jaguars are solitary, generalist predators, with foraging strategies for selected prey species (Weckel et al., 2006).”
TEMPORAL ACTIVITY PATTERNS OF TERRESTRIAL MAMMALS IN LOWLAND RAINFOREST OF EASTERN ECUADOR (2012, background): “Amount of activity during the day also varied geographically, with tapirs in Belize more nocturnal (97% of photographs; Weckel et al.”
Estimating overlap of daily activity patterns from camera trap data (2009, background): “Comparisons of interest might include predator and prey species (e.g., Weckel, Guiliano, and Silver 2006 ) or males and females of a species (e.g., Di Bitetti, Paviolo, and De Angelo 2006).”
Food habits of sympatric jaguars and pumas across a gradient of human disturbance (2010, background): “Sample sizes ranged from 12 scats (jaguar, Weckel et al., 2006) to 145 scats (puma, Novack et al., 2005).”
Differential Use of Trails by Forest Mammals and the Implications for Camera‐Trap Studies: A Case Study from Belize (2010, background): “Weckel et al. (2006) demonstrated that photographic capture frequencies of armadillos and pacas in the forest increased with distance from wider trails.”
Influence of camera-trap sampling design on mammal species capture rates and community structures in southeastern Brazil (2013, methodology): “In the same study, Panthera onca was never photographed using forested areas (Weckel et al. 2006), while in RNV, jaguar was recorded, although rarely, on internal edges and forest interior.”
Mammal defaunation as surrogate of trophic cascades in a biodiversity hotspot (2013, background): “The jaguar is the largest top predator of the Neotropics (50–160 kg, Seymour, 1989), it is essential in regulating populations of large prey, particularly ungulates (Weckel et al., 2006), and its diet hardly overlaps with that of the second largest top predator, the puma (Puma concolor – Emmons, 198”
