We carried out a camera trap survey to assess jaguar local density and home range size in a preserved coastal area of French Guiana. We ran spatially explicit capture recapture (SECR) models. In our model, the scale parameter $\sigma$, that is linked to the home range size, was larger for males ($\sigma$=3.87{\textpm}0.59 SE km) than for females ($\sigma$=2.33{\textpm}0.30 SE km). The assessed jaguar density was 3.22{\textpm}0.87 SE ind. 100 km {\^a} {\textquoteright}2, which should be considered as an optimal density in a French Guiana coastal area.", optnote="Export Date: 7 May 2018", optnote="exported from refbase (http://php.ecofog.gf/refbase/show.php?record=803), last updated on Mon, 07 May 2018 14:51:39 -0300", doi="10.1515/mammalia-2016-0150", opturl="https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85046038851&doi=10.1515\%2fmammalia-2016-0150&partnerID=40&md5=fdcc98a27a1db1369fc325f39a826167" }
