Patches, cost surface, photographic sampling, Tamaulipan thornscrubAbstract
The objectives of the research were i) to determine patches and points of origin for the establishment and connectivity of biological corridors, ii) to estimate the cost area for the establishment of biological corridors, iii) to define biological corridors with viability for the dispersal of the bobcat (Lynx rufus) in a multipurpose area in Reynosa, Tamaulipas. To monitor behavioral patterns, capture and recapture records were generated using the photographic sampling method. To calculate density, the results were entered into the statistical program CAPTURE. To model the potential habitat, the maximum entropy method (MaxEnt) was used. The cost surfaces were obtained with the maps in MaxEnt. The results showed that: i) there are six patches and points of origin for the establishment and connectivity of biological corridors, which presented a mature community of Tamaulipan thornscrub, ii) most of the study area presents values ranging from medium to high on the cost scale, which is correlated with intense landscape modification, and iii) 11 potential biological corridors were defined for the dispersal of the bobcat (Lynx rufus) in a multipurpose area in Reynosa, Tamaulipas.
