(International Journal of Conservation Science, 2016-01)
In this study, we examined sea turtles consumption by jaguars and their temporal and spatial distribution at Naranjo beach, Santa Rosa National Park Costa Rica. We include information about sea turtle consumption rate by ...
Inter-trophic food provisioning between sea and land: The jaguar (panthera onca) as provider of sea turtle carcasses to terrestrial scavengers
(International Journal of Conservation Science, 2017-07-10)
A more complete perspective of carrion use by terrestrial vertebrates and about the role of predators in net carrion supply will improve our understanding of critical ecological processes, particularly those associated ...
Factors affecting Jaguar and Puma predation on livestock in Costa Rica
(Wildlife Biology in Practice, 2016-06)
Throughout their range, wild felids in the Americas prey on livestock and this sometimes leads to retaliatory killing. Recently, conservation and research programs focused on such conflicts have recommended mitigation and ...
Jaguars (Panthera onca) increase kill utilization rates and share prey in response to seasonal fluctuations in nesting green turtle (Chelonia mydas mydas) abundance in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica
(Mammalian Biology, 2015-03)
Jaguar (. Panthera onca) predation of green turtles (. Chelonia mydas mydas) is now a common occurrence in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica. The abundance of green turtles during nesting season ensures a constant ...
Assessing species traits and landscape relationships of the mammalian carnivore community in a neotropical biological corridor
(Biodiversity and Conservation, 2016-04-06)
Mammalian carnivores play an important role in regulating food webs and ecosystems. While many carnivore populations are facing various threats such as habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and illegal trade, others ...
Scavenging on sea turtle carcasses by multiple jaguars in northwestern Costa Rica
(Therya, 2016)
Information on scavenging by jaguars is scarce, dispersed and little documented in the scientific literature, producing a shallow understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe the behavior ...

Highly diversified coronaviruses in neotropical bats
(Journal of General Virology, 2013-09-01)
Bats host a broad diversity of coronaviruses (CoVs), including close relatives of human pathogens. There is only limited data on neotropical bat CoVs. We analysed faecal, blood and intestine specimens from 1562 bats sampled ...
