Abundance of the northernmost jaguar Panthera onca breeding population
Jaguars are the apex predators of tropical and subtropical ecosystems in the Americas but their conservation is threatened due to habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts over predation. The Northern Jaguar Reserve (NJR) was created by Naturalia A.C. as a project to protect the northernmost jaguar population within an area of 59.3 thousand acres (24.4 ha) of private property. The property also includes other protected species. The present study was conducted to verify the status of this jaguar population in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the NJR, and to contribute to knowledge regarding its ecology. We estimated density using mark-resight and spatially explicit capture-recapture (SERC) models, and evaluated home range through a survey with 56 camera-trap stations over 12 bimonthly periods. In total, we obtained a sampling effort of 40,880 camera-days, registering 2.32 records from 1,000 camera-days. Jaguar density, calculated using the capture-recapture models, ranged from 0.3 to 1.44 indiv./100 km2, while the SERC model estimated a density of between 0.21 and 3.04 indiv./100 km2. The home range was 78.9 km2 for males and 45.1 km2 for females. Long-term population monitoring together with the establishment of Areas Voluntarily Assigned to Conservation, an initiative recently created by the Mexican government, such as the NJR, could be a valid strategy to strengthen jaguar conservation and thereby maintain key ecological processes for other species and their habitat in northwestern Mexico.
期刊介绍:
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation (antes Miscel·lània Zoològica) es una revista interdisciplinar, publicada desde 1958 por el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. Incluye artículos de investigación empírica y teórica en todas las áreas de la zoología (sistemática, taxonomía, morfología, biogeografía, ecología, etología, fisiología y genética) procedentes de todas las regiones del mundo. La revista presta especial interés a los estudios que planteen un problema nuevo o introduzcan un tema nuevo, con hipòtesis y prediccions claras, y a los trabajos que de una manera u otra tengan relevancia en la biología de la conservación. No se publicaran artículos puramente descriptivos, o artículos faunísticos o corológicos en los que se describa la distribución en el espacio o en el tiempo de los organismes zoológicos.
