Resource Selection
Only one bobcat was tracked during the early winter season and fall
night periods, so those periods were excluded from the bobcat RSF
results (Supporting Information). Bobcats avoided agriculture during the
spring/summer season, weakly avoided it during late winter, and selected
it during fall (n =14, k-fold mean=0.61, range 0.21-0.93) (Figure
3). Bobcats did not respond to exurban habitat or human modification.
Bobcats weakly avoided “other” habitat during the spring/summer and
late winter seasons and strongly avoided it during the fall season.
Bobcats either weakly avoided or did not respond to distance to water
and either weakly selected or did not respond to distance to road,
meaning they tended to select areas farther from roads and closer to
water in periods when they had any response.
