Theocelotmay constitute a good model to understand what factors affect the abundance of neotropical cats.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If this is the case, we predict a negative correlation between the abundance of the smaller cats with that of theocelot.

Several authors have noted that ocelots occupy a wide diversity of habitat types, ranging from scrublands to tropical rain forests.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, we expect to find a positive relationship between primary productivity andocelotdensity across its distributional range.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theocelotmay thus play a key ecological role as a top-down regulating force in the neotropical forests.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, both logging and poaching may be contributing to the patterns ofocelotabundance observed, but their relative contribution still needs to be assessed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We found thatocelotdensities increase with rainfall and decrease with the latitude of the study site.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At a continental scale,ocelotdensities decrease with latitude and increase with rainfall.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These patterns suggest that habitat disturbance in the form of intense logging or partial habitat conversion may have a stronger effect onocelotabundance than poaching.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Several lines of evidence suggest that changes in the structure of the forests associated with logging activities and partial habitat replacement, independently of poaching, negatively affect the abundance of ocelots.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Maffei et al. (2005) first suggested thatocelotdensities are positively correlated with mean annual rainfall, but the few data points available did not render a statistically significant result.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the first 10 months of 1975 more than 27,000ocelotskins were imported into this country.

Though he has shown great affection towards large felines, such as ocelots and tigers, he fears large reptiles, in particular alligators and crocodiles.
