Improving density estimates for elusive carnivores: Accounting for sex-specific detection and movements using spatial capture–recapture models for jaguars in central Brazil
Rahel Sollmann,Rahel Sollmann,Mariana Malzoni Furtado,Mariana Malzoni Furtado,Beth Gardner,Heribert Hofer,Anah Tereza de Almeida Jácomo,Natália Mundim Tôrres,Natália Mundim Tôrres,Leandro Silveira +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used camera trapping data and spatially explicit capture-recapture models to estimate jaguar density in Emas National Park in the central Brazilian Cerrado grassland, an ecological hotspot of international importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jaguar and Puma Activity Patterns and Predator-Prey Interactions in Four Brazilian Biomes
Vania Cristina Foster,Vania Cristina Foster,Pedro Sarmento,Rahel Sollmann,Rahel Sollmann,Natália Mundim Tôrres,Natália Mundim Tôrres,Anah Tereza de Almeida Jácomo,Nuno Negrões,Carlos Fonseca,Leandro Silveira +10 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that temporal partitioning is probably not a generalized mechanism of coexistence between jaguars and pumas; instead, the partitioning of habitat/space use and food resources may play a larger role in mediating top predator coexistence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can species distribution modelling provide estimates of population densities? A case study with jaguars in the Neotropics
Natália Mundim Tôrres,Natália Mundim Tôrres,Paulo De Marco Júnior,Thiago de Santana Santos,Leandro Silveira,Anah Tereza de Almeida Jácomo,José Alexandre Felizola Diniz-Filho +6 more
TL;DR: To test the prediction that environmental suitability derived from species distribution modelling (SDM) could be a surrogate for jaguar local population density estimates, SDM is used as a proxy for species distribution model estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic comparative methods and the geographic range size – body size relationship in new world terrestrial carnivora
TL;DR: The geographic range size – body size relationship for 70 species of New World terrestrial Carnivora (‘fissipeds’) is analyzed using various phylogenetic comparative methods and simulation procedures to assess their statistical performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using occupancy models to investigate space partitioning between two sympatric large predators, the jaguar and puma in central Brazil
Rahel Sollmann,Rahel Sollmann,Mariana Malzoni Furtado,Mariana Malzoni Furtado,Heribert Hofer,Anah Tereza de Almeida Jácomo,Natália Mundim Tôrres,Natália Mundim Tôrres,Leandro Silveira +8 more
TL;DR: Camera trapping and occupancy models accounting for imperfect detection were employed in a Bayesian framework to investigate space partitioning between the jaguar and puma in Emas National Park, central Brazil and indicate that both differences in habitat use and active avoidance shape space partitions in ENP.
