| Impacts of jaguar predation on nesting sea turtles at Tortuguero National Park | |
| 2023 Cat News (78): 34-36 | |
We provide an update of jaguar predation trends on the four species of sea turtle that nest in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica, previously reported by our team for the period 2005-2013. The latest data provided here (period 2014-2022) allowed us to analyse predation rates over a larger temporal scale, and provide further evidence determining whether jaguars pose a threat to the survival of the sea turtle nesting populations at a local and regional level. Further, we described how our scientific data help to guide effective management actions to protect not only the four species of sea turtles but also the jaguar at a local level. |
