Differential use of trails by forest mammals and implications for camera-trap studies in Belize
PaperHarmsen and colleagues documented how different mammal species use trails versus off-trail forest to varying degrees, and showed that this differential trail use biases camera-trap data when stations…

Estimating jaguar densities with camera traps: problems with current designs and recommendations
PaperTobler and Powell used extensive simulations and empirical jaguar data to expose how common camera-trap study designs produce biased or imprecise density estimates. They showed that arrays too small r…

Estimating jaguar density in the Pantanal using camera traps combined with GPS telemetry
PaperSoisalo and Cavalcanti combined camera-trap capture-recapture with GPS radio-telemetry to refine jaguar density estimates in the Brazilian Pantanal, using telemetry-derived movement data to better def…

Improving density estimates for elusive carnivores: sex-specific detection and movement in SCR
PaperSollmann and colleagues demonstrated that ignoring sex differences in movement and detectability biases carnivore density estimates, using jaguar camera-trap data from central Brazil. Because male jag…

One thousand jaguars in Bolivia's Chaco? Camera trapping in Kaa-Iya National Park
PaperMaffei, Cuellar, and Noss applied jaguar camera-trap capture-recapture in the dry Chaco forest of Bolivia's Kaa-Iya National Park, one of the largest protected areas in the region. From individually i…

Research overview: jaguar density networks and range-wide monitoring
OverviewJaguars are monitored across the Americas through camera-trap capture-recapture, and coordinated initiatives increasingly link local surveys into range-wide networks producing comparable density estim…
The use of camera traps for estimating jaguar abundance and density using capture/recapture analysis
PaperSilver and colleagues adapted the tiger camera-trap framework to jaguars, whose unique rosette patterns serve as individual marks. Working in Belize and across Latin American sites, they detailed prac…
