Boxplot and Posterior Density Estimates for male and female home range (log km²) [A and B], home range crossing time (log days) [C and D], velocity autocorrelation timescale (h) [E and F], and average distance traveled (Km/day) [G and H].

<p>Black line represents the difference between the posterior distribution of males and females, red represents the posterior distribution of females and blue represents the posterior distribution of males.</p

Space Use and Movement of a Neotropical Top Predator: The Endangered Jaguar - Fig 2

<p>(A) Variogram of a resident jaguar. Notice that the animal’s semi-variance reaches an asymptote within a few days, roughly representing the time to cross its home range. The red line represents the fitted model and the red shading represents the 95% CI. (B) A non-resident jaguar. Note the lack of a clear asymptote despite the fact that the animal was monitored for a long period (591 days). This lack of asymptote indicates that this animal is not range resident and thus a home range analysis for this individual is not appropriate. For both A and B, the fraction of the variogram displayed is 65% of the duration of each dataset.</p

Extent and conservation status of remaining habitat in Brazil’s major biomes and a portion of Atlantic Forest in Argentina.

<p>Jaguars are considered vulnerable in the Amazon and Pantanal, endangered in the Cerrado and critically endangered in the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0168176#pone.0168176.ref014" target="_blank">14</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0168176#pone.0168176.ref015" target="_blank">15</a>].</p

Jaguars’ home range estimates in relation to human population size (square root transformed) across four study areas in Brazil and Argentina.

<p>Regression line is the species estimate from a linear regression model formulated in a Bayesian framework (Bayesian p-value = 0.495). Error lines are 95% CI.</p

Jaguar home range estimates from the Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, and Pantanal using the autocorrelation kernel density estimator (AKDE), minimum convex polygon (MCP), or kernel density estimator (KDE).

<p>For AKDE, MCP, and KDE we display the mean, minimum, and maximum home range values. For AKDE, we also display 95% confidence intervals.</p
