Activity and overlap of the small and medium felids.

<p>Temporal activity and degree of overlap (shaded area) among: a) ocelot and margay, overlap coefficient (Δ) = 0.89 with 95% CI = 0.82–0.95; b) jaguarundi and margay, Δ = 0.17 with 95% CI = 0.09–0.25; c) ocelot and jaguarundi, Δ = 0.21 with 95% CI = 0.17–0.25; d) margay and southern tiger cat, Δ = 0.57 with 95% CI = 0.47–0.66; e) jaguarundi and southern tiger cat, Δ = 0.63 with 95% CI = 0.56–0.69; f) ocelot and southern tiger cat, Δ = 0.60 with 95% CI = 0.53–0.66.</p

Activity of small felids according to the occupancy probability of ocelots.

<p>Activity patterns and overlap between: a) the daily activity pattern of jaguarondis at sites with low ψ of ocelots (N = 31 activity records) vs. the activity at sites with high ψ of ocelots (N = 90 activity records), b) the daily activity pattern of margays at sites with low ψ of ocelots (N = 14 activity records) vs. the activity at sites with high ψ of ocelots (N = 41 activity records), c) the daily activity pattern of southern tiger cat at sites with low ψ of ocelots (N = 72 activity records) vs. the activity at sites with high ψ of ocelots (N = 119 activity records).</p

Study area.

<p>a) Location of the Upper Parana Atlantic Forest (UPAF), Atlantic Forest (AF) and Misiones province, Argentina (in red). b) Location of the camera-trap stations during a survey conducted in the north of Misiones province between May 2013 and December 2014. The cameras were placed at continuous forest (CF, N = 53), fragmented forest (FF, N = 69) and pine plantations (PP, N = 62). c) Camera-trap stations placed in Misiones province between 2003 and 2016 (N = 586).</p

Frequency of camera trap records and number of stations with presence (in parentheses) of medium and small felids at different landscape conditions in northern Misiones province, Argentina, where a camera trap survey was conducted between May 2013 and December 2014.

Occupancy probability of southern tiger cats (ψB).

<p>Location of the camera-trap stations (N = 184) with low (0–0.33, yellow), intermediate (0.34–0.66, orange), and high (0.67–1.00, red) occupancy probability of southern tiger cats according to the model of co-occurrence with the ocelot.
