“…This slight difference might have been to overlap their activity to the one of their potential preys. For example, pacas were also more crepuscular during the dry season (Dias, Oliveira Souza-Almeida et al, 2019), and in CBR agoutis during the dry season had crepuscular activity peaks (Borges-Zapata et al, 2020). The non-significant differences of ocelots' activity between seasons could be because, in the last years of this study, rainfall in CBR has been delayed and unevenly distributed throughout the year (Mardero et al, 2020), and some waterholes have stayed completely dry even in the wet season.…”

“…Thus, poaching ocelot's prey should not be an underestimated threat for ocelots in Calakmul region. Ocelots' potential prey are highly dependent on water (Borges-Zapata et al, 2020;Kumul et al, 2020), and ocelots could be using waterholes as hunting sites, especially because there can be more prey availability . This emphasizes the importance of waterholes for ocelots' main prey, and consequently, for ocelots themselves.…”

We aimed to evaluate the temporal and spatial use of waterholes by ocelots in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (CBR), Mexico. From 2014 to 2017, we monitored 11 waterholes with camera traps. We compared diel activity patterns with circular statistics depending on waterholes’ level of human intensity and distance to the Calakmul road, seasonality, and sex. We identified 40 different ocelots. Four waterholes were the most important ones, being 2 of them close to the road. Individuals took on average 19 days to return to waterholes. The diel activity of ocelots was 63.67% nocturnal, 20.70% crepuscular and 15.60% diurnal, and they were more diurnal in waterholes distant from the road. Their activity pattern was bimodal and it did not change between any of the categories tested. This is the first study to determine the spatial and temporal activity of ocelots in waterholes of Mexico. Ocelots are mainly nocturnal, and this pattern is conserved throughout CBR, however, they are able to adjust slightly their activity depending on extrinsic factors, such as an increased human presence. In the Calakmul region, all waterholes are crucial, and we particularly emphasize the conservation of the most important waterholes for ocelots, especially the ones close to the road.

“…This measure contributes to the enrichment of the habitat and the maintenance of wildlife populations (Bello et al 2001). In particular, the implementation of drinking troughs for wildlife has been reported as a successful strategy to mitigate the consequences of the lack of water in times of drought, mainly in places where water is the limiting resource (Mandujano-Rodríguez and Hernández, 2019;Borges-Zapata et al, 2020).…”

Objective: To verify the functionality of drinking troughs based on fauna record. Design/Methodology/Approach: Most of the approximately 70 artificial drinking troughs were installed inside the core zones of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (CBR). The remaining troughs were installed in communities and left under the protection and supervision of beekeepers. A camera-trap station was associated with each of the drinking troughs installed. Results: Ninety-one wildlife species that drink water from the artificial troughs have been identified, including 30 mammals, 53 birds, 5 reptiles, and three amphibians. Jaguars, tapirs, and other endangered species are some of the most frequent visitors to these sites, especially during the dry season. Study Limitations/Implications: The use of artificial water troughs is an adequate alternative to guarantee water availability in the Calakmul region. The high diversity of species that constantly visit the drinking troughs during the dry season makes evident the functionality of the water supply strategy with artificial drinking troughs. Findings/Conclusions: The drinking troughs can be a tool for various objectives in the region. It arose from the need to respond to emergency climatological events (i.e., droughts), but it has been adapted to the regional needs and other activities. It has been considered a successful management strategy in the face of climate change.

“…Las condiciones de Calakmul, como son el tipo de suelo (calcareo), asi como la reciente disrupción en los regimenes de precipitación (Mardero, Schmook, Christman, Metcalfe, & Dela Barrera-Bautista, 2019) han ocasionado que los cuerpos de agua naturales en la zona no capten el agua suficiente para mantener a la fauna silvestre (Simá-Pantí et al, 2020). Por lo que el hecho de que el registro de coyote haya sucedido en un bebedero artificial colocado para proveer de agua a la fauna silvestre (Contreras-Moreno et al, 2019;Borges-Zapata et al, 2020) sugiere que los efectos de la falta de agua estan creando cambios en el ecosistema, que deben ser monitoreados para proponer estrategias y acciones de conservación para las especies en peligro y sus interacciones con las nuevas especies que empiezan a distribuirse en la RBC (Simá-Pantí et al, 2020). Ética, conflicto de intereses y declaración de financiamiento: Los autores declaran haber cumplido con todos los requisitos éticos y legales pertinentes, tanto durante el estudio como en el manuscrito; que no hay conflictos de interés de ningún tipo, y que todas las fuentes financieras se detallan plena y claramente en la sección de agradecimientos.…”

El coyote (Canis latrans) es una especie que en los últimos años se ha expandido en las áreas tropicales de México y Centroamérica. En esta nota se reporta el primer registro de un individuo de coyote en la Reserva de la Biosfera de Calakmul en el sureste de México. Utilizando fototrampeo (diciembre 2018 a junio 2019) se obtuvieron tres fotografías de coyotes provenientes de un sitio localizado en el centro del área núcleo sur de la reserva.
