Long‐term jaguar demography underscores the ecological value of Amazonian floodplains

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our results provide the first estimates of recruitment and apparent survival for Amazonian jaguars, key parameters for guiding conservation. We show that seasonal wetlands—the Amazonian floodplain forest and reported estimates from Pantanal and the Llanos—harbour the highest jaguar densities across the species' range.

When “Rescue” Means Exile: The Urgency of Science‐Based Protocols for Large Carnivore Interactions and Coexistence in the Neotropics

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 233-234, June 2026.
Using the recent case of an Andean jaguar translocated hundreds of kilometers to a distinct savanna ecosystem in Colombia, we critique the prevalent “Reactive Removal” model often framed misleadingly as “rescue.” We contrast this approach, which disregards local adaptation, creates ecosystem mismatches, and blocks natural range recovery, with a needed “

Spatial Ecology and Habitat Selection by Jaguars and Pumas in a Protected Area in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding animal distribution is crucial for elucidating natural history, population dynamics, and inter‐ and intraspecific interactions. This knowledge informs the planning and evaluation of management and conservation strategies, particularly for sympatric, scarce, and threatened species such as jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma ...

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Avaliação do risco de extinção do gato-maracajá Leopardus wiedii (Schinz, 1821) no Brasil

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2013
Leopardus wiedii possui uma distribuição ampla no Brasil, com exceção do Ceará e sul do Rio Grande do Sul. Apesar disso, o tamanho populacional efetivo calculado é de cerca de 4.700 indivíduos no território brasileiro. Estima-se que nos próximos 15 anos (
