“…The number of domestic animals has exponentially increased in Mongolia in the last 20 years due to the worldwide demand for cashmere wool (National Statistical Office of Mongolia 2018). Livestock husbandry occurs throughout the country (Barashkova et al 2007, Damdinsuren et al 2008), and is permitted with few limitations even within protected areas according to the Mongolian Law on special protected areas (1994), with the exception of strictly protected areas (SPA). Despite the evidence that overstocking affects the Pallas's cat, quantitative knowledge on how livestock directly or indirectly affect Pallas's cat occurrence and activity pattern is scant.…”

Biased research and conservation efforts result in some faunal groups (e.g., small felids) being understudied, and hence these groups are often declining without adequate knowledge to manage for threat reduction. The Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul) occurs across central and western Asia with declining populations and the largest population is likely in Mongolia.A potential threat to this felid is livestock encroachment across its range, including within protected areas, yet we lack a clear understanding of the impact of livestock husbandry on this cat.We used motion-sensitive camera data from 216 sites in 4 study areas in western Mongolia to study the occurrence probability of Pallas's cat in relation to habitat characteristics and occurrence of livestock, and conducted a local assessment within a strictly protected area where we obtained the highest number of detections. We estimated a relatively low occupancy (0.33 ± 0.10), which is associated with sites with natural vegetation, steeper slopes, and greater prey abundance.Occupancy also increased with increasing livestock occurrence, particularly large herds of sheep and goats. Such cooccurrence was partially adjusted by diel activity segregation, presumably to limit direct encounters. Our results suggest that the preferred habitat by Pallas's cat in the study region coincides with areas encroached by livestock. The Pallas's cat's
