Largest-ever jaguar study maps populations across the Americas
Original: Largest-ever jaguar analysis identifies how populations are connected across the Americas
Researchers have completed the largest genetic analysis of jaguars to date, identifying how populations of the big cat are connected across their range in the Americas. The findings map gene flow between jaguar groups from Mexico to Argentina, offering a baseline for conservation planning and efforts to protect corridors linking fragmented habitats.
Why now: It offers new scientific insight relevant to conservation of a flagship species whose habitat is increasingly fragmented.
