Wildlife students as community scientists provide statewide detection data to help non‐invasively monitor Oklahoma bobcats by Nathan J. Proudman, Michelle L. Haynie, Victoria L. Jackson, Jerrod Davis, W. Sue Fairbanks

“…We used detection/nondetection data from morphological and genetic identification of hair samples in an occupancy modeling framework to determine bobcat detection and space use patterns for the state of Oklahoma. Probability of use models showed land cover type was an important predictor of use, but suffered highly variable effects, likely due to the diversity of environments sampled, under‐sampled land cover types, and species identification uncertainty. …”
