Camera traps have become the main method for estimating jaguar (Panthera onca)
densities. Over 74 studies have been carried out throughout the species range following …

Camera trapping of wildlife has been practiced since the early 20th century (Chapman,
1927), but in the last 20 years or so, camera traps have become readily available and much …

Camera trapping is the standard field method of monitoring cryptic, low-density mammal
populations. Typically, researchers run camera surveys for 60 to 90 days and estimate …

Since camera traps were first used to estimate the density of tiger Panthera tigris populations
in India (Karanth 1995; see also Karanth et al. this volume), this methodology has been …

Over 80% of the currently occupied range of the jaguar (Panthera onca) lies in the Amazon.
However, few density estimates exist for this habitat. Between 2005 and 2010 we carried out …

Owing to habitat conversion and conflict with humans, many carnivores are of conservation
concern. Because of their elusive nature, camera trapping is a standard tool for studying …

Sampling animal populations with camera traps has become increasingly popular over the
past two decades, particularly for species that are cryptic, elusive, exist at low densities or …

Across their range jaguars Panthera onca are important conservation icons for several
reasons: their important role in ecosystems as top carnivores, their cultural and economic …

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest feline in the Americas and third largest world-wide,
smaller in size only to the tiger (P. tigris) and lion (P. leo). Yet, in comparison, relatively few …

Past studies on tropical carnivores and other secretive animals relied on indirect evidence of
animal presence such as tracks, scats, or scrapes. While such evidence can be useful for …
