By monitoring carnivore habitat use and relative abundance of their prey both within mesic refuges and the predominant semi-arid caatinga vegetation, this study will provide the necessary empirical evidence to assess the importance of mesic enclaves for the maintenance of species diversity throughout caatinga.
