  1. Abbreviations: (u) adult jaguar of undetermined sex, (m) adult male, (f) adult female, (c) cub and (NE) not estimated due to scarcity of records. *Estimated with CAPTURE + information of the home range size of three individuals monitored with GPS collars in this area.
  2. The number of stations, the effort, the jaguar record rate and the number of individuals correspond to values of the total sampling effort developed in every survey. The density estimation and its 95% CI correspond to values obtained during the portion of the survey that was used to estimate these parameters.
