Interannual variation in the activity patterns of kodkod (Leopardus guigna) in a peri-urban protected area of south-central Chile

The kodkod (Leopardus guigna) is a small felid dependent on forests. We studied the activity patterns of this felid during two years in a periurban protected area. We also compared its overlap with rodents and birds. During the first year, we detected it to be mainly nocturnal. In the second year,...

Description
Summary:The kodkod (Leopardus guigna) is a small felid dependent on forests. We studied the activity patterns of this felid during two years in a periurban protected area. We also compared its overlap with rodents and birds. During the first year, we detected it to be mainly nocturnal. In the second year, a non-significant diurnal activity was observed. During the first year overlap was higher with rodents, and lower with birds, but this reversed during the second year.
