“…The species also inhabit in a wide variety of natural (deciduous and coniferous forests, scrublands) and human-associated habitats (agricultural areas, cultivated fields, near to villages) [ 34 , 40 ]. Additionally, most of these variables have been previously used in other studies about carnivore distribution or habitat use (e.g., %urban_areas, in [ 51 ]; %forest_areas, %artificial_areas, %forest_coniferous, %forest_deciduous, in [ 52 ]; clim_bio1, clim_bio7, clim_bio12, clim_bio15, altimetry, slope and aspect, in [ 53 ]). Variables are described and their source provided in Table 1 .…”
