Estimating species distribution from camera trap by‐catch data, using jaguarundi ( <i>Herpailurus yagouaroundi</i> ) as an example Open
Aim Planning conservation action requires accurate estimates of abundance and distribution of the target species. For many mammals, particularly those inhabiting tropical forests, there are insufficient data to assess their conservation st…

An overview of computational tools for preparing, constructing and using resistance surfaces in connectivity research Open
Context Connectivity between habitat patches is a recognized conservation action to conserve biodiversity in a rapidly changing world. Resistance surfaces, a spatial representation of cost of movement across the landscape, are often the fo…

Large area used by squirrel gliders in an urban area, uncovered using GPS telemetry Open
The squirrel glider ( Petaurus norfolcensis ) is a threatened, gliding marsupial that persists in fragmented landscapes despite its restricted capacity to cross large gaps. As measures to maintain and/or restore suitable habitat depend on …

Beyond species counts for assessing, valuing, and conserving biodiversity: response to Wallach et al. 2019 Open
Article impact statement : Combining native and non‐native species to evaluate biodiversity is overly simplistic and may undermine the conservation of ecosystems.

Moon light and the activity patterns of Baird’s tapir in the Calakmul region, Southern México Open
The Baird's tapir (Tapirella bairdii) is an endangered species throughout its distribution area, however many aspects of its biology and ecology have been poorly studied, due to its evasive behavior and low densities. The goal of this stud…

Precipitous decline of white-lipped peccary populations in Mesoamerica Open
Large mammalian herbivores are experiencing population reductions and range declines. However, we lack regional knowledge of population status for many herbivores, particularly in developing countries. Addressing this knowledge gap is key …

Canid collision—expanding populations of coyotes (Canis latrans) and crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous) meet up in Panama Open
The rise of the Panamanian Isthmus 3–4 million years ago enabled the first dispersal of mammals between North and South America in what is known as the Great American Biotic Interchange. Modern deforestation threatens the historic forest c…

Tapir population patterns under the disappearance of free-standing water Open
Baird's tapir is the largest Neotropical tapir species, and it is considered Endangered by the IUCN. The Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (CBR) is the largest protected tropical forest in Mexico. The CBR is at the heart of the Maya Forest, a tri…

Factors influencing local attitudes and perceptions regarding jaguars <i>Panthera onca</i> and National Park conservation in Panama Open
Throughout its range in Latin America the jaguar Panthera onca is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and conflict with humans. Protected areas in Panama harbour some of the last remaining suitable habitat for jaguars and are vit…
