摘要：

We report the first study to monitor ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) spatial patterns with Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry. The study area was in southern Texas in areas of dense thornshrub (closed habitat) and open grasslands interspersed with small patches of dense thornshrub cover (open habitat). We used a 200-g GPS-Posrec collar (Televilt, TVP Positioning AB, Lindesberg, Sweden). We obtained 61% of GPS fixes from the ocelot GPS collar. The ocelot preferred closed habitat, even with GPS bias against closed habitat, and used small patches and corridors of dense thornshrub. Due to the success of this pilot study, we recommend that GPS telemetry be used to monitor ocelots.
