TABLE 3.
Number of studies (N) and the Gini‐Simpson index of diversity (1 − λ) for caracal (Caracal caracal) and jungle cat (Felis chaus) scat and stomach contents (stomach) data in areas of range overlap and without overlap, 1842–2021.
| Caracal | Jungle cat | Pianka O | Schoener's D | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | 1 − λ | N | 1 − λ | X | 95% CI | X | 95% CI | |
| Scat | 25 | 0.76 | 7 | 0.54 | 0.94 | 0.45, 0.99 | 0.76 | 0.37, 0.91 |
| Areas of range overlap | 2 | 0.65 | 3 | 0.55 | 0.96 | 0.71, 1 | 0.85 | 0.58, 0.99 |
| Areas without range overlap | 23 | 0.75 | 4 | 0.51 | 0.94 | 0.53, 0.99 | 0.78 | 0.38, 0.91 |
| Stomach | 9 | 0.83 | 6 | 0.99 | 0.55 | 0.08, 0.94 | 0.39 | 0.09, 0.75 |
Note: Also included are means (X) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the Pianka index of niche overlap (Pianka O) and Schoener's measure of niche equivalency (Schoener's D) calculated by bootstrapping 1000 iterations.
