Activity patterns by two colour morphs of the vulnerable guiña, Leopardus guigna (Molina 1782), in temperate forests of southern Chile

Here we provide the first analysis of activity patterns exhibited by spotted and melanistic colour morphs of the vulnerable guiña Leopardus guigna, in a forest landscape of southern Chile. Camera traps showed guiñas were mainly active at night (64% of photos). Melanistic guiñas were more nocturnal (...
