Accurately estimating home range and understanding movement behavior can provide important information on ecological processes. Advances in data collection analysis have improved our ability to estimate parameters, both of which the potential impact species conservation. Fitting continuous-time model incorporating autocorrelated kernel density estimator (AKDE), we investigated residency forty-four jaguars fit with GPS collars across five biomes Brazil Argentina. We assessed parameters...
Abstract Patterns of space use by an individual emerge as a result their movements, and decisions when where to move are related the distribution resources needed for survival reproduction. Solitary species characterized limited social interaction with conspecifics, moving independently or maintaining spatiotemporal avoidance them, except during courtship parental care. The present study aimed analyze effect various factors on jaguars ( Panthera onca ) in Pantanal Brazil. We used step...
Abstract Dermatobia hominis is a parasite widely distributed in neotropical regions. The parasitic phase of the cycle characterized by formation subcutaneous nodule host, which can promote infestation other dipterans and skin infections. aim this report to register parasitism D. free-ranging Panthera onca captured Brazilian wetland determine significant biological meteorological factors that are likely influence presence larval wild jaguars. Between 2011 2020, 34 jaguars were examined...
Abstract To evaluate the feasibility of reintroduction as a tool for conservation jaguar Panthera onca , we adapted IUCN soft release protocol to reintroduce two jaguars in southern Pantanal, Brazil. After being kept at rescue centres 13 months, were moved 1-ha enclosure with native vegetation on 53,000 ha ranch where hunting is not allowed and prey abundant. In enclosure, animals fed meat, dead (roadkill) then, progressively, live wild prey. 11 fitted collars equipped GPS/VHF (recording one...
Abstract Ambush predators rely on stealth to successfully secure prey. Mobbing is a rarely observed anti-predation strategy used by group-living prey species whereby several individuals distract or harass predator until it either ends the pursuit leaves area. Herein, we present three unique cases of white-lipped peccaries ( Tayassu pecari ) mobbing jaguars Panthera onca in wild. White-lipped and co-occur within study area, large-scale ecotourism working cattle ranch Brazilian Pantanal. Two...
O Pantanal é um bioma brasileiro dependente do fogo. Tanto o pulso de inundação anual como os eventos fogo são importantes drivers que condicionam a estrutura das suas formações vegetais. Dentre as fisionomias encontram-se paleo-levees, antigas vegetação ciliares associadas canais rios abandonados conhecidas cordilheiras. Esses ambientes, quando atingidos por fogo, podem ter e composição espécies alteradas. Muitas árvores adaptadas ao às inundações, entretanto, incêndios alta intensidade...
Abstract While the use of trees has been widely documented for most big cats, this information is scant jaguar ( Panthera onca ). In study, we investigated by jaguars, evaluating different underlying reasons as well frequency tree based on sex, age, and reproductive status. Data were obtained from 2013 to 2020 through a combination direct observations during fieldwork camera trapping focused behavior in Brazilian Pantanal. We 252 climbing events (176 observations, 76 captures). Using only...
