WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
A survey of 6,618 camera-trap nights found moderate activity overlap among jaguars, pumas and largely nocturnal ocelots, with distinctive overlap against recorded potential prey.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ
Predator communities can divide time as well as territory; add temporal data to assessments.
CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
Temporal overlap does not prove diet, actual predation, or active avoidance; spatial interactions require separate testing.
