2003  Full Book

This study assessed the effects of subsistence hunting on the foraging ecology of jaguar and puma within the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala. Food habits were deterimined from analysis of 76 jaguar and 145 puma scats collected within hunted and portected areas of the MBR from February 2000-August 2001. Diets of jaguar and puma were compared (1) within species between areas with and without hunting to evaluate effects of subsistence hunting and (2) between species to evaluate resource partitioning between these sympatric carnovores.
