Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar el uso de aguadas por ocelotes y su patrón de actividad en la Reserva de la Biosfera
Calakmul, México. Del 2014 al 2017, monitoreamos 11 aguadas con cámaras trampa. Con estadística circular,
comparamos los patrones de actividad dependiendo del nivel de intensidad humana de las aguadas y su distancia al
camino de Calakmul, temporada, y sexo. Identificamos 40 ocelotes, los cuales cada ~19 días visitaban las aguadas.
Cuatro aguadas (2 cerca del camino) fueron las más importantes. Los ocelotes fueron 63.67% nocturnos, 20.70% crepusculares y 15.60% diurnos, y fueron más diurnos en las aguadas lejos del camino. Su patrón de actividad fue
bimodal y éste no cambió entre ninguna categoría evaluada. Éste es el primer trabajo en identificar a ocelotes y
determinar su patrón de actividad en aguadas de México. Los ocelotes son mayoritariamente nocturnos y este patrón
se conserva a lo largo de Calakmul, sin embargo, son capaces de ajustar su actividad dependiendo de las circunstancias
(por ejemplo, para evitar a humanos). En Calakmul, la conservación de las aguadas es crucial y particularmente,
enfatizamos la conservación de las aguadas identificadas como las más importantes para los ocelotes, en especial las
que están cerca del camino.
