Abstract
Human disturbance can have a profound effect on the occurrence and distribution of wildlife. Such disturbance often extends into protected areas (PAs), particularly in countries that have undergone civil strife and lack the institutional capacity to effectively mitigate anthropogenic threats. We demonstrate the first application of a multi‐species hierarchical occupancy model to spatially correlated detections from vehicle‐based spoor transects, estimating species richness and species‐specific drivers of occurrence of a large mammal community comprising five large carnivores [cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), leopard (Panthera pardus), lion (Panthera leo), spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), and wild dog (Lycaon pictus)] and six large herbivores [buffalo (Syncerus caffer), eland (Taurotragus oryx), elephant (Loxodonta africana), giraffe (Giraffa giraffa), roan (Hippotragus equinus), and sable (Hippotragus niger)] in Luengue‐Luiana and Mavinga National Parks, Angola. This area is the largest contiguous national park complex within a single African country and part of the largest transfrontier conservation area in the world, and is still recovering from the effects of civil war. In this post‐war landscape, the most substantive drivers of community‐level occupancy were anthropogenic, with occupancy associated with lower frequency of human sign, proximity to adjacent national park, and distance away from human settlement. In contrast, ecological variables (precipitation, vegetation cover, seasonal water availability) had less explanatory value. Our results highlight the deleterious effects of human incursion into PAs on the richness and distribution of large mammal species, underscoring the need for intensive mitigation of anthropogenic threats (e.g. poaching, bushmeat hunting) to maintain species of high conservation value in areas impacted by war.

Is it allowed to post humans attacked and devoured by jaguars here? but the photos are very graphic and strong, I just wanna make sure before posting it here.

Wild animals occasionally attack and kill humans. Some individuals develop into habitual man-killers. In some parts of British India, roque elephants were as dangerous as big cats, if not more so. A big cat is different from other animals in that it usually eats what it kills. If an individual develops into a man-killer, chances are it will consume a human kill sooner or later. Confirmed man-eaters, however, were few and far between. The thread 'Man-eaters' has reliable information about man-eating big cats shot in British India and Africa.
A century ago, most man-eating big cats in British India died of old age. Some of those hunted, however, featured in books. Jim Corbett's 'Man-eaters of Kumaon' is one of the best, but the books written by Kenneth Anderson compared.
I read quite a few books in which man-eating big cats featured and never saw photographs of victims. Over the years, however, things changed in this respect. Nearly all papers in which incidents are discussed have photographs. Same for papers discussing attacks in zoos and private facilities. In 2012, a keeper was killed by a 4-year old male Amur tiger in the Köln Zoo (Germany). The paper in which the incident is discussed was posted in the tiger extinction thread some time ago.
Those who wrote about jaguars agree attacks on humans are quite rare. What I heard in Surinam and, in particular, French Guyana and the northern part of Brazil, however, seems to contradict that conclusion. Those who make their home in the forest told me people have been killed and eaten by jaguars. Indians in particular feared jaguars.
I only read one paper discussing attacks of jaguars, but it's likely there are more. My guess is our members would appreciate information about the way wild jaguars and humans interact.
As to posting photographs of humans killed and eaten by wild big cats (and other large wild carnivores). Photographs of abused captive animals not seldom result in heated discussions. Photographs of humans killed and eaten by wild carnivores, on the other hand, do not. Those who researched incidents used photographs to illustrate their findings. This resulted in specific knowledge. The papers I read suggest tigers, lions, jaguars and leopards use different methods to kill a human. If the photographs you have serve a specific purpose, you can post them. Before you do, add a remark.
If you have specific information about habitual man-killers or man-eaters, you can post a copy in the thread 'Man-eaters'.

RE: Man-Animal Interaction: Conflict & Coexistance - Dark Jaguar - 02-27-2020
Here's a retard ''messing with the jag with short stick'' ( a saying we got here in Brazil ).
2016 in southern pantanal this retard taunting the jag calling it a weakling, disgusting, coward, and beautiful at same time, little does he know the level of mess a cat of that degree can do to our kind specially in the head ( like the graphics accounts I've seen.)
I saw another video like this with this same retarded guy doing it again with another Onça Pintada in southern pantanal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fffDB5YkrzM
he thinks his horse will provide him 100% safe, he's completely wrong.
in 2016 in pantanal, touristic guides and fishers continued doing the CEVA ( the practice of baiting wild jaguars and feeding them which is illegal, and it also leads wild jags to relate humas to food ).
some videos showcasing the Ceva.
Big Male
Brief fight
I will set aside the graphic/ hardcore accounts with deaths of humans brutally killed by Onças and share this account where the human survived here.
November last year a group of guys riding horses found a pair of mating Onça-Pintada ( some say there were 3 ) and one of the jaguars pounced caught Luciano off the horse and mauled him badly. he only survived cause the other 2 guys swiftly went for his rescue managing to ward off the wild jaguar away from him, He was rushed to the Cáceres Regional Hospital, where he received first aid, and then he was transferred to the Várzea Grande Emergency Room. Luciano will undergo plastic surgery for face reconstruction. He suffered severe punctures near the eyes and in the back of his head and arms. His condition is currently stable, but this type of bite offers risks of infection and therefore, in addition to undergoing repair surgery, he will be under observation and only after 72 hours the damages he suffered can be really identified. more details at https://jornaldebrasilia.com.br/nahorah/onca-pintada-ataca-peao/
thanks to his friends he was saved from a deadly skull bite.

That retarded in the horse surely doesn't know who he is messing with.

Current and estimated present-natural diversity patterns for (A and B) megaherbivores (≥1,000 kg), (C and D) large herbivores (45–999 kg), and (E and F) large carnivores (>21.5 kg). The term “present-natural” refers to the state that a phenomenon would be in today in the complete absence of human influence through time (111). For this mapping, omnivores were classified as carnivores when meat constitutes a major part of their diet and as herbivores otherwise.

Global effects of land use on biodiversity differ among functional groups
Abstract
- Human land use has caused substantial declines in global species richness. Evidence from different taxonomic groups and geographic regions suggests that land use does not equally impact all organisms within terrestrial ecological communities, and that different functional groups of species may respond differently. In particular, we expect large carnivores to decline more in disturbed land uses than other animal groups.
- We present the first global synthesis of responses to land use across functional groups using data from a wide set of animal species, including herbivores, omnivores, carnivores, fungivores and detritivores; and ranging in body mass from 2 × 10−6 g (an oribatid mite) to 3,825 kg (the African elephant).
- We show that the abundance of large endotherms, small ectotherms, carnivores and fungivores (although in the last case, not significantly) are reduced disproportionately in human land uses compared with the abundance of other functional groups.
- The results, suggesting that certain functional groups are consistently favoured over others in land used by humans, imply a substantial restructuring of ecological communities. Given that different functional groups make unique contributions to ecological processes, it is likely that there will be substantial impacts on the functioning of ecosystems.

Humans Locked Indoors, Animals Take Over In India
Times Travel Editor|TRAVEL TRENDS, INDIAMar 27, 2020, 21.02 IST
It seems like nature is claiming what was hers. While humans are suffering from the deadly Coronavirus outbreak, the animals all across the world seem to have taken over the roads. In India, a number of videos have surfaced on social media wherein animals such as nilgai (blue bull), civet, Indian bison and sambar deer can be seen roaming freely on the roads.
India, right now, is under a 21-day lockdown, and humans are forced to stay inside their homes. Meanwhile, the wildlife has got the opportunity to roam around on the otherwise busy roads. A few days back, dolphins were seen playing in the ocean in Mumbai while Odisha’s beaches witnessed lakhs of Olive Ridley turtles return for mass nesting.
Here, have a look at some of the amazing videos of wildlife reclaiming territory.
1) Nilgai [b]taking a stroll just outside the famous GIP Mall in Noida
[/b]
2) Sambar deer from Sukhna forest in Chandigarh Sector 9-10
3) A malabar civet was seen on zebra crossing in Kozhikode
4) Dolphins spotted at Mumbai's Juhu Beach
5) Olive Ridley turtles largest mass nesting in years at Odisha
6) Uttarakhand's last Swamp deers from Rajaji TR.
7) Cheetal deer enforcing lockdown at Dehradun town.
8) Tusker on roads at Wayanad, Kerala (never cares for lockdown though).
9) Lastly the regular residents who are having a hard time
