Conservation plans increasingly include goals to maintain a connected network. For
example, planners might design a linkage between two conserved areas, or the parties to …

We developed a global, 30-m resolution dataset of percent tree cover by rescaling the 250-
m MOderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Vegetation Continuous Fields …

Owing to habitat conversion and conflict with humans, many carnivores are of conservation
concern. Because of their elusive nature, camera trap** is a standard tool for studying …

Accurately estimating home range and understanding movement behavior can provide
important information on ecological processes. Advances in data collection and analysis …

Camera trap** allows scientists to study activity patterns of animals under natural
conditions. However, comparisons of activity patterns across seasons or latitudes can be …

Aim Jaguars and pumas, being similar in size and behaviour, are the largest felids of the
Neotropics. However, pumas appear to be more resistant to human impacts. Our objective …

Large terrestrial carnivores have undergone some of the largest population declines and
range reductions of any species, which is of concern as they can have large effects on …

Road‐induced habitat fragmentation is one of the greatest threats to large carnivores.
Wildlife passes have been used to reduce fragmentation by mitigating the effects of roads as …

Over 80% of the currently occupied range of the jaguar (Panthera onca) lies in the Amazon.
However, few density estimates exist for this habitat. Between 2005 and 2010 we carried out …

Phylogeography examines the spatial genetic structure of species. Environmental niche
modelling (or ecological niche modelling; ENM) examines the environmental limits of a …
