Abstract

LOPEZ-GONZALEZ, Carlos A.; AVILA-AGUILAR, Daniel  and  CRUZ-TORRES, M. Fernanda. Bobcat Abundance (Lynx rufus escuinapae J. A. Allen, 1903) in the Parque Nacional El Cimatario, Querétaro, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.1, pp.138-140. ISSN 2448-8445.

Bobcat conservation status in central Mexico remains unclear. In many localities it is possible that bobcat populations are declining, so it is very important to estimate the densities of this species. In this note we report an abundance of 3 ± 0.78 bobcats and a minimum density of 0.17 ind/km² at the Parque Nacional El Cimatario, Querétaro. Information on the species is limited and this data are needed to improve our knowledge in fragmented landscapes.
