Using a survey design with 15 camera traps at water sources, 26 leopard events were detected over 72 days. Model fit was adequate and produced a model-averaged occupancy of 0.64 (SE 0.36) and a detection probability of 0.24 (SE 0.07). Whilst there was a lack of precision in the final occupancy estimate, the study provided valuable pilot data for future surveys. The results highlight the ability of camera traps to obtain information-rich datasets, which, when properly archived, can be used for providing information on a number of ecological topics, ranging far beyond that which the traps were originally deployed for.]]> Thu 30 May 2019 16:15:50 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54808 Thu 14 Mar 2024 14:10:31 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50929 Mon 14 Aug 2023 10:16:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40426 Puma concolor, spotted hyaena Crocuta crocuta, jaguar Panthera onca, lion Panthera leo, and tiger Panthera tigris), plus the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx and the grey wolf Canis lupus (which are usually top predators in the areas from which data were obtained), showed greater dietary breadth and/or used a greater number of large prey species (i.e. increased generalism). We suggest that dominant large carnivores encounter little competition in expanding their dietary breadth with increasing prey richness; conversely, the dietary niche of subordinate large carnivores is limited by competition with larger, dominant predators. We suggest that, over evolutionary time, resource partitioning is more important in shaping the dietary niche of smaller, inferior competitors than the niche of dominant ones.]]> Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:23:21 AEST ]]>
