Genetic population structure of jaguars in central Belize. a Assignment probabilities of population structure as shown in STRUCTURE for K = 1 and K = 4, each bar represents a single jaguar individual; b Mantel’s test for correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance (km) showed low correlation, Rxy = 0.167, P-value = 0.010 from 10,000 randomizations; c Scatter plot of first two principal components (PCs) of the DACP analysis of genetic diversity, dots represent pairwise correlations between genetic and geographic distances. Bar plot displays the eigenvalues associated with the components; d GENELAND map of population membership probability for the most likely K = 1. Grayscale shading represents the posterior probability of belonging to a single cluster (K = 1). Basemap: DIVA-GIS, Belize map data©2019
