摘要: Abstract Strategies are needed to recover the ocelot Leopardus pardalis from endangered species list. Recently, a population viability analysis (PVA) was developed which concluded that combinations of different recovery strategies were effectively reduce extinction probability in United States (US), with habitat protection and restoration identified as most effective scenario. We expanded this PVA model by incorporating landscape data develop more realistic habitat-based for ocelots southern Texas. used RAMAS/ gis software conduct linking demographic metapopulation model. The primary goal study provide evaluating US. Each scenario simulated 1000 times over 50 years we defined one individual remaining. Using program 11 possible patches (i.e., subpopulations) occurring In addition, based on found US, reducing road mortality single strategy. Short-term should include mortality, translocation into US northern Mexico. Long-term between around existing establishment dispersal corridor breeding populations.
