Ocelot home range, overlap and density: comparing radio telemetry with camera trapping (2008, background): “…& Noss, 2004; Silver et al., 2004; pumas Puma concolor Kelly et al., 2008; ocelots L. pardalis Maffei et al., 2005; DiBitetti, Paviolo & DeAngelo, 2006; Dillon & Kelly, 2007; bobcats Lynx rufus Heilbrun et al., 2006; Kelly & Holub, 2008; Geoffroy’s cat Oncifelas geoffroyi Cuellar et al., 2006).”
A critique of density estimation from camera-trap data† (2012, methodology): “A few studies have defined the study area as the area bounded by a minimum convex polygon of the traps or the boundary of a park or reserve (e.g., tigers, Carbone et al. 2001; jaguars, Cullen et al. 2005; bobcat, Heilbrun et al. 2006).”
Camera Trapping of Carnivores: Trap Success Among Camera Types and Across Species, and Habitat Selection by Species, on Salt Pond Mountain, Giles County, Virginia (2008, background): “Heilbrun et al. (2006) had high bobcat detection rates in their similar-sized study area (31.5 km2) in Texas, and could identify individual bobcats by their distinct coat patterns and estimate density through markrecapture.”
