Camera-trap surveys repeated in Guatemala's Tikal National Park, Maya Biosphere Reserve, in 2005 and 2009 recorded the same number of jaguars _Panthera onca_. However, only one individual, the sole confirmed female, was photographed in both surveys, whereas the turn-over of male and unsexed individuals was complete. These results confirm the importance of Tikal for the conservation of the Selva Maya's jaguar population, female site fidelity and reproduction at the site, as well as considerable overlap in male ranges. |
