Comparison of density estimation methods for mammal populations with camera traps in the Kaa‐Iya del Gran Chaco landscape (2012, background): “…carnivores such as tigers Panthera tigris (Karanth 1995; Karanth & Nichols, 1998; Karanth et al., 2006) and jaguars (Maffei, Cuéllar & Noss, 2004; Silver et al., 2004; Sollmann et al., 2011; Maffei et al., 2011), but a variety of other species have also been studied in South America alone [e.g.…”
Evaluating capture–recapture population and density estimation of tigers in a population with known parameters (2010, background): “Journal compilation c 2009 The Zoological Society of London94 variation o10% (e.g. see Karanth, 1995; Trolle & Kéry, 2003; Karanth et al., 2004; Silver et al., 2004; Soisalo & Cavalcanti, 2006; Wang & Macdonald, 2009).”
Estimating Bobcat Abundance Using Automatically Triggered Cameras (2006, background): “Silver et al. (2004) identified jaguars (P. onca) and obtained density estimates from automatic photographs.”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “…these large predators varies greatly within each region, largely due to variation in prey densities (e.g., Karanth et al. 2004, Barlow 2009), population densities of the lion and tiger tend to be higher than those of the jaguar (Creel and Creel 1997, Sunquist and Sunquist 2002, Silver et al. 2004).”
Food habits of sympatric jaguars and pumas across a gradient of human disturbance (2010, background): “…formally estimated in CBWS but available data suggest that they are less numerous than jaguars (Harmsen et al., 2009a), as observed in the neighbouring Chiquibul Forest Reserve where jaguars were estimated to have approximately twice the density of pumas (Silver et al., 2004; Kelly et al., 2008).”
Camera-trap studies of maned wolf density in the Cerrado and the Pantanal of Brazil (2007, methodology): “Two cameras per trap were used (for more details see Trolle and Kéry 2005). At the Cerrado study area, data were obtained during a general survey of large and mediumsized mammals. We used 15 camera traps with single cameras. The methodology outlined in Trolle and Kéry (2003) was followed.”

Improving density estimates for elusive carnivores: Accounting for sex-specific detection and movements using spatial capture–recapture models for jaguars in central Brazil (2011, methodology): “There are some apparent trends in jaguar density: higher densities are encountered in tropical forests (up to 8.8 100 km 2 in Belize; Silver et al., 2004) and prey-rich seasonal flood plains of the Pantanal (6.”
Density, habitat use and activity patterns of ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in the Atlantic Forest of Misiones, Argentina (2006, methodology): “…period cover the same general area, not as in other studies where the sampled area was subdivided into two or more adjacent areas and each portion was surveyed at sequential time periods (e.g. at Chiquibul, Belize and Madidi, Bolivia jaguar’s studies; Silver et al., 2004; Trolle & Kéry, 2005).”
Estimating the density of a jaguar population in the Brazilian Pantanal using camera-traps and capture–recapture sampling in combination with GPS radio-telemetry (2006, methodology): “In 2004, as in most jaguar (Wallace et al., 2003; Maffei et al., 2004; Silver et al., 2004) and tiger camera-trapping surveys (Karanth and Nichols, 1998, 2000; Karanth et al., 2001; Kawanishi, 2002; Kawanishi and Sunquist, 2004), the model chosen as best-fitting was model Mh.”
