Habitat Use by Sympatric Jaguars and Pumas Across a Gradient of Human Disturbance in Belize (2010, background): “There was no evidence that pumas preyed on livestock (Foster et al. 2010) and they were seldom held responsible for losses, whereas blame was attributed to jaguars, crocodiles, snakes and people (Foster 2008).”
A critique of density estimation from camera-trap data† (2012, background): “…with certain habitat features at the point location of the camera trap, in particular, variation in capture rate with road and trail characteristics such as width, age, and substrate (e.g., Maffei et al. 2004, Di Bitetti et al. 2006, Dillon and Kelly 2007, Harmsen et al. 2010b, Foster et al. 2010).”
High jaguar densities and large population sizes in the core habitat of the southwestern Amazon (2013, result): “This agrees with other studies; Sollmann et al. (2011) showed that cameras on roads in Brazil had a 10 times higher encounter rate compared to cameras off-road, and Harmsen et al. (2010) showed that encounter rates for jaguar in Belize increased with trail width and age.”
A review of camera trapping for conservation behaviour research (2017, background): “…number of factors influence the detection of individuals (see Burton et al. 2015), and sampling details may have important implications for analytical assumptions such as effective sampling area and site independence (Harmsen et al. 2010; Mccoy et al. 2011; du Preez et al. 2014; Newey et al. 2015).”
Estimating jaguar densities with camera traps: Problems with current designs and recommendations for future studies (2013, background): “This means placing them on well-established trails and logging roads that are frequently used by jaguars (Harmsen et al., 2010; Sollmann et al., 2011; Tobler et al., in press-a).”
Influence of camera-trap sampling design on mammal species capture rates and community structures in southeastern Brazil (2013, methodology): “…support to previous studies, indicating that detection is not similar for all species, neither in the same area nor between similar sampling designs (e.g., Tobler et al. 2008, Harmsen et al. 2010), which is aggravated by the stochasticity associated with the camera-trap location and orientation.”
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).”
