• Own resultFindingThe strategy used by Leopardus wiedii to imitate its prey was not effective in catching Saguinus bicolor in our observations.From the paper’s own data. Not checkable against an outside source.§ Introduction · own data
• Not checked yetFindingOn October 12, 2005, a margay attracted the attention of a tamarin sentinel by producing calls similar to those emitted by pied tamarin pups.The paper cites a source here that we could not match to its reference list.§ Introduction · cites sources
• Own resultFindingThe adult male sentinel climbed up and down the tree to investigate the calls coming from behind the liana tangles.From the paper’s own data (a single case). Not checkable against an outside source.§ Introduction · own data
• Own resultFindingSeveral local Amazon jungle inhabitants described a common predation strategy by Neotropical cats of attracting prey by mimicking the prey species' vocalizations.From the paper’s own data. Not checkable against an outside source.§ Introduction · own data
• Own resultFindingMore than a dozen reports of Puma concolor, Panthera onca and Leopardus pardalis mimicking vocalizations of agoutis, tinamous/nambús, and solitary tinamous/macucos were made in different river basins (Madeira, Juruá and Purus).From the paper’s own data.
