| 释义 | ocelot noun[ C ] uk /ˈɒs.əl.ɒt / us /ˈɑː.sə.lɑːt/ a small wild cat that has yellow fur with black spots and lives in South America and Central America 虎猫，美洲豹猫 Tom Brakefield/Stockbyte/GettyImages Felines (cats) Abyssinian American shorthair barn cat Bengal Bengal tiger farm cat feline Himalayan house cat jaguar Norwegian forest cat Oriental shorthair panther Persian Persian cat Siberian Singapura snowshoe Sphynx tiger Examples of ocelotocelot The ocelot may constitute a good model to understand what factors affect the abundance of neotropical cats. If this is the case, we predict a negative correlation between the abundance of the smaller cats with that of the ocelot. Several authors have noted that ocelots occupy a wide diversity of habitat types, ranging from scrublands to tropical rain forests. Thus, we expect to find a positive relationship between primary productivity and ocelot density across its distributional range. The ocelot may thus play a key ecological role as a top-down regulating force in the neotropical forests. Thus, both logging and poaching may be contributing to the patterns of ocelot abundance observed, but their relative contribution still needs to be assessed. We found that ocelot densities increase with rainfall and decrease with the latitude of the study site. At a continental scale, ocelot densities decrease with latitude and increase with rainfall. These patterns suggest that habitat disturbance in the form of intense logging or partial habitat conversion may have a stronger effect on ocelot abundance than poaching. 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. Maffei et al. (2005) first suggested that ocelot densities are positively correlated with mean annual rainfall, but the few data points available did not render a statistically significant result. In the first 10 months of 1975 more than 27,000 ocelot skins were imported into this country. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
