- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the abundance estimates and habitat selection of common genets Genetta genetta at the Serra da Malcata in Portugal through camera capture-mark-recapture data. The method used to classify habitat and analyze habitat selection is described. It was found that genets preferred Quercus rotundifolia and Arbutus unedo woodlands. The ideal model to the capture-history data is cited as the closed capture-recapture null model. The shelter and food resources provided by Mediterranean woodlands reportedly appeal to genets.
