The assessment of size in fossil felidae
Estudios Geologicos, 2002 Las estimaciones de la talla corporal en vertebrados fósiles depende de las relaciones establecidas entre el peso corporal, la longitud total o alguna medida de estatura tomada de los elementos esqueléticos de animales actuales emparentados o muy afines.

Jaguar (Panthera onca) in the State of Mexico [PDF]
The Southwestern Naturalist, 2008 We document the jaguar (Panthera onca) in the Sierra Nanchititla (state of Mexico) in pine-oak forest. During October 2002–December 2004, we determined presence of jaguars using three methods: we conducted interviews in local communities, collected scats, and installed automated-camera detection systems.

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Mammalogy Notes, 2016 In the sea, the most common predators of adult sea turtles are sharks (i.e., Carcharhinus leucas, Carcharodon carcharias, Galeocerdo cuvier) (Witzell 1987, Cliff & Dudley 1991, Fergusson et al. 2000) and killer whales (Orcinus orca) (Fertl & Fulling 2007)

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.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

Nomes populares conferidos à Panthera onca (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) no Brasil
Arquivos de Zoologia, 2017 Pero Lopes de Souza, in 1531, was the first to give to the Panthera onca of Brazil the name onça, a designation until then conferred to the Old World leopard (Panthera pardus (Linnaeus, 1758)), a very similar species.

A new multiplex qPCR assay to detect and differentiate big cat species in the illegal wildlife trade
Scientific Reports, 2023 All species of big cats, including tigers, cheetahs, leopards, lions, snow leopards, and jaguars, are protected under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). This is due in large part to population declines resulting from

Mammalogy Notes, 2023 This study addresses the understudied predation ecology of Atelocynus microtis, a rare and Near Threatened Amazonian canid. We detail depredation events by the felid species, Panthera onca (Jaguar), observed in southeastern Peru in 2004.
