A scoping review was conducted to map, summarize, and understand the extent of evidence on jaguar (Panthera onca) food resource use and its interaction with humans. A total of 105 studies were identified in electronic databases: 57 analyzed jaguar food resource use, and 48 described jaguar interactions with humans. The studies were published in 51...
La ausencia de datos sobre el impacto que genera el tráfico vehicular en las poblaciones de animales silvestres motivó la presente investigación, que tuvo como objetivo conocer el número de muertes por atropellamiento de mamíferos en las carreteras de Sinaloa, México. Los registros de las colisiones se obtuvieron a través de transectos libres en ca...
El tráfico vehicular en carreteras se ha evidenciado como un factor de riesgo más para la fauna silvestre; las muertes por atropellamiento de individuos pueden tener impactos negativos directos a nivel poblacional, sobre todo para aquellas especies en peligro de extinción, como es el jaguar (Panthera onca). El objetivo de este documento es dar a co...
The jaguar (Panthera onca) is one of the most threatened carnivores in the Americas. Despite a long history of research on this charismatic species, to date there have been few systematic efforts to assess its population size and status in most countries across its distribution range. We present here the results of the two National Jaguar Surveys f...
The preservation of Military Macaw Ara militaris in Mexico required the implementation of a nationwide assessment evaluating its vulnerability using IUCN criteria. With the combined effort of several institutions, the abundance, location, dispersion, habitat availability, and climatic conditions of areas occupied by the species were determined. Alt...
Modern and paleoclimate changes may have altered species dynamics by shifting species' niche suitability over space and time. We analyze whether the current genetic structure and isolation of the two large American felids, jaguar (Panthera onca) and puma (Puma concolor), are mediated by changes in climatic suitability and connection routes over mod...
The method presented in here allows for the unequivocal differentiation between non-invasive samples of ocelots and margays, when used in combination with the protocol by Roques et al. (Mol Ecol Resour 11:171–175, 2011). It reduced costs and laboratory processing, decreasing the chances of contamination, and therefore facilitating the identificatio...
Background
Details of how, why and in what conditions large felids make scrapes is unknown. Here, we examined the general hypothesis about the use of scrapes for marking proposals, as well as to communicate with other individuals to signalize particular points or areas of interest, by studying scrape-marking behaviour of jaguars and pumas.
Methods...
Position, sizes, and characteristics of sites where felid scrapes were found
Raw data with the location, position and characteristics of felid scrapes found in five study areas from Brazil, Mexico and Belize. The characteristics of the path (on circular plots of 25 m diameter around the scrape) and the microsite (1 × 1 m plots around the scrape) wh...
Male puma scraping in Angatuba (Brazil)
Male puma scraping in Angatuba (Brazil) in an intensive scraping point that covered a surface of 54 m2, where 39 scrapes were found in 2012. He was in scraping behaviour during 42 seconds and took 18 and 16 seconds in each scrape; he also deposited a small fecal substance after the first scrape.
Availability of different types of paths in surveyed areas
Characteristic (type of vegetation, use, etc.) of paths surveyed in three study areas from Brazil, Mexico and Belize.

Psittaciformes (parrots, cockatoos) are among the most endangered birds, with 31% of Neotropical species under threat. The drivers of this situation appear to be manifold and mainly of anthropogenic origin. However, this assessment is based on the last extensive consultation about the conservation situation of parrots carried out in the 1990s. Give...

Gene flow among populations and subpopulations homogenizes allele frequencies. This mechanism is strongly influenced by species dispersal ability, frequently correlating genetic variation with distance among individuals, which is also known as an isolation-by-distance pattern. Species with high dispersal abilities are expected to show a limited iso...
Se estimó la distribución histórica y contemporánea para la familia Psittacidae en México utilizando la mayor base de datos integrada hasta ahora y modelos ecológicos de nicho. Los modelos se generaron mediante el algoritmo MaxEnt. Se utilizaron temperatura y precipitación y se analizó la vegetación disponible y las áreas naturales protegidas decre...
Ecological niche models provide useful predictions of species distributions, but may fail to detect reductions in distribution due to factors other than habitat loss, such as hunting or trade. From 2001 to 2009, we conducted field-surveys along the Mexican Pacific coast to obtain presence–absence data for nine Psittacidae species. We applied Geneti...
We report new localities in 2006 and 2008 for three carnivore species from sarcocaule and microphythic desert scrub at the Sierra Seri, Sonora and from croplands Norwest Coastal Plains region, Sinaloa, extending their known distribution ranges. Species were identified through visual recognition of pictures. The presence of these species can be expl...
