Food habits of sympatric jaguars and pumas across a gradient of human disturbance (2010, background): “Historically, studies of jaguar and puma diets have variously used scat diameter, footprints, ingested hairs and circumstantial evidence to help identify scats to species level (e.g. Emmons, 1987; Olmos, 1993; Aranda & SánchezCordero, 1996; Facure & Giaretta, 1996; Chinchilla, 1997; Garla et al., 20”
Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “Although some authors try tominimize these biases byfield verification of reported losses, it is applicable only to the most recent and identifiable cases and when verifying researchers are available on place (Azevedo, 2008; Kabir et al., 2014).”
Differential impact of landscape transformation on pumas (Puma concolor) and jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest (2011, background): “Additionally, the puma usually presents a broader trophic niche and the ability to consume smaller prey than jaguars (Scognamillo et al., 2003; Azevedo, 2008), which may be a significant advantage for pumas in human-altered landscapes (Novack et al., 2005; Haines, 2006).”
Niche partitioning and species coexistence in a Neotropical felid assemblage. (2010, background): “Jaguars and pumas are locally persecuted and killed as a result of being considered pests or dangerous to humans (Crawshaw, 1995, 2002; Conforti and Azevedo, 2003; Azevedo, 2008; Paviolo et al., 2008) and this may contribute to the extremely low densities observed in the less protected areas.”
The evolutionary improbability of 'generalism' in nature, with special reference to insects (2011, background): “Jaguars (Panthera onca L.) from South America predate fresh water turtles (Haemig, 2007), as well as other prey that they can more readily catch (larger mammals > 15 kg, comprising approximately 67% of the biomass consumed; de Azevedo, 2008).”
