In this study, we estimate life history parameters and abundance for a protected jaguar population using camera-trap data from a 14-year monitoring program (2002-2015) in Belize, Central America. We investigated the dynamics of this jaguar population using 3,075 detection events of 105 individual adult jaguars. Using robust design open population models, we estimated apparent survival and tempo...

There are 22 species of Hamacantha registered from all over the world, and frequently from deep-waters, only two of which had previously been reported from the SW Atlantic. Here we describe a third species for this area, Hamacantha (H.) boomerang sp. nov., collected from deep-sea coral mounds at Campos Basin (off Rio de Janeiro state). We found oxeas 271-630 µm long, diancistras in three size c...

Compared with other Mesozoic tetrapod groups, chigutisaurid fossils from Australia are rare, only three named taxa described the continent. From Queensland, Keratobrachyops australis is known Triassic, and Siderops kehli Jurassic. Koolasuchus cleelandi, Cretaceous of Victoria, represents youngest-known temnospondyl globally. Here we describe first New South Wales, Early–Middle Triassic Terrigal...
