An upcoming issue of Journal of Heredity focuses on the use of conservation genetic techniques in Latin America. One paper included in the issue examines the population structure -- or lack thereof -- in jaguars of the Brazilian Pantanal. This population has not been genetically fragmented and is relatively healthy, in contrast to nearby populations in the Atlantic Forest.
