Rosettes in a matrix: Predicting spatial variation in density of a large felid in a forest-production mosaic
A. Paul, N. Kumar, T. Mukherjee, A. K. Chhetri, A. Kshettry
This study estimates leopard densities in a tea-plantation and forest mosaic, finding higher densities in tea plantations than in forests, suggesting multi-use landscapes may support large felids better than protected areas.
