• Improving density estimates for elusive carnivores: Accounting for sex-specific detection and movements using spatial capture–recapture models for jaguars in central Brazil (2011, background): “Today, camera trapping is used to study a variety of aspects of wildlife ecology, ranging from species presence (Linkie et al., 2007) and behavior (Harmsen et al., 2009) to relative abundance within a species assembly (O’Brien et al., 2003).”
• Food habits of sympatric jaguars and pumas across a gradient of human disturbance (2010, background): “Journal compilation c 2009 The Zoological Society of London310 CBWS indicates that they are less numerous than jaguars (Harmsen et al., 2009a).”
• Camera-trapping forest–woodland wildlife of western Uganda reveals how gregariousness biases estimates of relative abundance and distribution (2010, background): “Studies of highly solitary animals, such as jaguars and tigers, may not be as strongly affected by this bias (Harmsen et al., 2009; Karanth and Nichols, 1998; Maffei et al., 2004; Mccarthy et al., 2008), except when traveling with mates or dependent young.”
• Puma activity patterns and temporal overlap with prey in a human‐modified landscape at Southeastern Brazil (2018, background): “Spatial segregation has been suggested when females avoid male-dominated travel routes because such encounters may result in agonistic events (Harmsen et al., 2009).”
• Temporal separation between jaguar and puma in the dry forests of southern Bolivia (2010, background): “…contrast, and despite the fact that temporal separation has been proposed as a mechanism to enable the coexistence between some sympatric predators (Harrington et al. 2009, Karanth & Sunquist 2000), previous studies have reported that jaguar and puma instead have very similar activity patterns…”
• Using occupancy models to investigate space partitioning between two sympatric large predators, the jaguar and puma in central Brazil (2012, background): “, 2010) and in most studies, activity patterns of both species were similar (Polisar et al., 2003; Scognamillo et al. 2003; Harmsen et al., 2009), including in ENP (Silveira, 2004).”
• A critique of density estimation from camera-trap data† (2012, background): “Using the same database is cost efficient and can reveal interactions between sympatric species (e.g., Harmsen et al. 2009, Foster et al. 2010).”
• Carnivore co‐existence and habitat use in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, Belize (2011, unknown): “Harmsen et al. (2009) found that jaguars and pumas in central Belize had similar space-use patterns and activity schedules, but did not use locations simultaneously.”
