Abstract
PRISCILIANO-VAZQUEZ, José R. et al. Occurrence of jaguar (Panthera onca) in the Chinantla region, southern Mexico. Caldasia [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.2, pp.412-415. Epub Apr 19, 2022. ISSN 0366-5232. https://doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v43n2.91580.
The jaguar (Panthera onca) has been experiencing a considerable range reduction due to habitat loss and poaching. Habitat suitability models have identified areas likely to maintain populations, but field data are scarce for several of them. Between 2012 and 2017, we investigated the jaguar occurrence in 35 communities of the Chinantla region, southern Mexico, throughout camera trapping in non-systematic surveys. We recorded 124 independent events of 23 jaguars in thirteen communities. Jaguars recorded over the years, couples and pregnant females are highlighted in the Chinantla region as a stronghold to the jaguar.
