Using LiDAR Derived Canopy Metrics to Assess Individual and Population-Level Habitat Partitioning of Ocelots, Bobcats, and Coyotes

Wildlife depends on specific landscape features to persist. Thus, characterizing the vegetation available in an area can be essential for management. The ocelot is a federally endangered, medium-sized felid adapted towoody vegetation. Quantifying the characteristics of vegetation most suitable for ocelots is essential for their conservation. Furthermore, understanding differences in the selection of sympatric bobcats and coyotes can provide insight into the mechanisms of coexistence between species.
