Abstract
Keywords: Amazonia; home range; jaguar; movement ecology; Panthera onca; varzea floodplain forest EN Amazonia home range jaguar movement ecology Panthera onca varzea floodplain forest 1 4 4 05/05/21 20210501 NES 210501 Large felids (>30 kg) have exclusively carnivorous diets and depend upon medium and large terrestrial prey to fuel high metabolic demands (Sunquist and Sunquist 2002, Carbone et al. 2007). Our findings also raise questions regarding the potential conservation implications of varzea environments for sustaining jaguar populations in the Amazon basin and how anthropogenic or climate-mediated changes may influence the annual flood regime that fuels these systems, affecting jaguar populations directly.
