Leopardus tigrinus is among the least known carnivore species in Neotropics, including considerable taxonomic uncertainty. Here we model distribution, connectivity and overlap with existing conservation areas for Colombia. Using a Species Distribution Modeling approach, estimated current potential range of Colombia identified habitat blocks remaining country. In addition, designed network across available cores, using circuit theory to evaluate linkage. Finally, defined prioritization scheme...

The jaguar ( Panthera onca ) is a charismatic species considered Vulnerable in Colombia but yet largely unknown the country. mostly threatened by continuous decline its habitats, derived from deforestation and habitat loss, additional to hunting conflicts with humans. Thus, future of jaguars depends on protecting recovering existing habitats. aims this study were 1) evaluate distribution identify remnant patches Colombia, 2) define an ecological connectivity network within country, 3)...

Abstract The Andean white ear opossum ( Didelphis pernigra , Allen 1900) is one of the three species genus reported in Colombia. Here we present a systematic review D. Colombia, with geographical and altitudinal distribution hypothesis from country. We geographic records scientific available information 40 studies, 55.26 % literature corresponded to local regional inventories; 23.68 other documents were studies about mammal assemblages, while 21.05 specific classified according following...

Abstract Creating software tools that address the needs of a wide range decision-makers requires inclusion differing perspectives throughout development process. Software for biodiversity conservation often fall short in this regard, partly because broad decision-maker may exceed toolkits single research groups or even institutions. We show participatory, collaborative codesign enhances utility better decision-making planning, as demonstrated by our experiences developing set integrated...

Mammal conservation in transformed landscapes depends heavily on the role of protected areas, especially for species used by local communities both within and around these areas. We evaluated level representation magnitude influence humans, via human footprint, across range mammals Department Cundinamarca, Colombia. emphasised differences at a department scale inside Protected Areas (PA). The definition refers to using resource its economic, religious and/or traditional value. Specifically,...

Abstract Understanding species distribution to target biodiversity conservation actions in countries with high biodiversity, scarce data availability and low study sites accessibility is very challenging. These issues limit management even on charismatic potentially conflictive like large carnivores. We developed a geographic assessment of the potential distribution, core patches connectivity areas for Puma concolor Colombian Llanos (Orinoco region). To create this representation, we used...
