Predicted corridors for jaguar movement between the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and the Maya Forest corridor that fall outside protected areas in central Belize. a Omnidirectional connectivity between the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and the Maya Forest corridor with protected areas overlapping. b Closeup of potential jaguar movement corridors in unprotected areas east, west and south of Manatee Forest Reserve. c Closeup of potential jaguar movement corridors in unprotected areas northeast of Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and Mango Creek and east of Sittee River Forest Reserve. Black hatching represents the Maya Forest Corridor. Black-transparent areas represent protected areas. White circles denote the average location of individual jaguars identified with the genotype analysis. Brown areas represent the study area as calculated with a 95% minimum convex polygon (MCP95%). The amount of current flow through the landscape ranges from high in red to low in blue
