| Abstract (English): |
The relevance of the Jaguar in Brazilian fauna is incompatible with the lack of literature regarding its reproductive behavior, showing that research in this area should be intensified. The knowledge of its basic reproductive behavior is extremely important for understanding the fertility factors of the species and the role it plays in its ecosystem. In this study, we analyzed 210 sequences of sexual behaviors of Jaguars Panthera onca starting from proceptivity of the female and ending with copulation; this sequence is called the copulatory behavior. Behavioral sequences were filmed, and the observed behaviors were analyzed and recorded including occurrence frequency. Different behaviors were observed in association with two types of copulation, it was understood that copulation occurs with and without penile penetration. The information found in the present study is valuable for the reproductive management of Jaguars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Toda a relevância que onça pintada tem para a fauna brasileira é incompatível com a ausência de literatura sobre seu comportamento reprodutivo, mostrando que precisamos cada vez mais intensificar as pesquisas nesta esfera. O conhecimento dos comportamentos reprodutivos básicos é extremamente importante para o entendimento da fecundidade de uma espécie e todo o papel que ela representa dentro do seu ecossistema. Neste trabalho analisamos 210 sequências de comportamentos sócio-sexuais de onça pintada (Panthera onca) a partir da proceptividade da fêmea até a finalização da cópula; a esta sequência chamados de comportamento copulatório. As sequências comportamentais foram registradas por filmagens e os comportamentos observados foram registrados por frequência de ocorrência. Diferentes comportamentos foram observados em associação com dois tipos de cópulas, o que nos permitiu concluir que a cópula ocorre com e sem penetração peniana. As informações encontradas serão de grande valia para o manejo reprodutivo da onça pintada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
