Abstract
Leopardus wiedii and Leopardus pardalis are endangered small felids. Its main altitudinal range expands from sea level to 1,500 m. Camera traps were placed in the Matawi Indigenous Park on the Nevado de Toluca Volcano. Photographic records were obtained of L. wiedii at 3,207 masl and of L. pardalis at 3,307 masl. This is the highest altitudinal record for margay in its distribution, and for ocelot is the highest in the northern hemisphere.
期刊介绍:
European Journal of Wildlife Research focuses on all aspects of wildlife biology. Main areas are: applied wildlife ecology; diseases affecting wildlife population dynamics, conservation, economy or public health; ecotoxicology; management for conservation, hunting or pest control; population genetics; and the sustainable use of wildlife as a natural resource. Contributions to socio-cultural aspects of human-wildlife relationships and to the history and sociology of hunting will also be considered.
