Jaguar and Puma Predation on Cattle Calves in Northeastern Sonora, Mexico

Abstract: Predation by jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma concolor) is often a source of conflict with cattle ranching in northeastern Sonora, Mexico. Because jaguars are endangered in Mexico, such conflicts have biological, social, and economic consequences. We documented the extent of predation by jaguars and pumas on cattle in 1999-2004 in northeastern Sonora, where the northernmost breeding population of jaguars exists in North America. Jaguars and pumas killed only calves , 12 mo old, and calves constituted 58… Show more

“…Preliminary results are supported of previous works of the authors (e.g. Hoogesteijn & Hoogesteijn, 2014) and others (Rosas-Rosas et al, 2008). Although data are still being collected, the 15 farms in Costa Rica, with electric fencing and night pens, experienced no depredation during the first two years of monitoring; six farms in Belize experienced no depredation over 15 months of monitoring, with guard animals and improved fencing; night pens in 14 Brazil farms took depredation from six events to one over a period of 18 months; and four farms using water buffalo or creole breeds (Costa Rica, Colombia, and Brazil) experienced no predation from herds monitored from six months to four years.…”

“…This paper is a summary of depredation solutions observed by the authors on more than 120 ranch sites, ongoing research on 30 ranches (in Belize, Costa Rica, Colombia and Brazil), and supporting data from additional publications (Rosas-Rosas et al, 2008; Salom…”

“…Por lo anterior, zonas con baja variación presentan mayor disponibilidad de recursos (pastos y herbívoros), en comparación con otras zonas con estacionalidad marcada, donde se pueden ver mayormente afectadas las densidades poblacionales de P. onca (Rabinowitz 1999). Recientemente se estimó para México, que la biomasa de los artiodáctilos, grupo que reúne a unas de las principales presas del jaguar (Rosas-Rosas et al 2008), aumenta en zonas con precipitaciones que van de 500-1 000mm ya que permiten alta productividad primaria (Mandujano & Naranjo 2010). La precipitación es un factor crítico que regula la productividad del ecosistema (Svoray & Karnieli 2010), según los valores de porcentaje de precipitación, los cuales reflejan la productividad primaria, esta zona presenta áreas con vegetación densa y pendientes pronunciadas, lugares menos perturbados que proveen refugio a este felino (Monroy-Vilchis et al 2008, Monroy-Vilchis et al 2009.…”

“…En el presente estudio, y con base en la distribución geográfica de las especies, se ha considerado a Cuniculus paca, Mazama temama, Odocoileus virginianus, Didelphis virginiana, Dicotyles angulatus, Procyon lotor y Crax rubra como presas potenciales del jaguar similar a lo reportado en otras regiones de México (Núñez, Miller, & Lindzey, 2002;Amín, 2004;Rosas-Rosas, Bender, & Valdez, 2008). No obstante, los perros, gatos y cerdos domésticos también están siendo parte de su dieta.…”
