Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Arboreal and Terrestrial Frugivore Vertebrate Assemblage Diversity and Composition Vary With Disturbance Histories in Guianan Forests. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined the impact of human disturbances on arboreal and terrestrial fruit‐consuming vertebrate assemblages across three tropical forest sites in French Guiana. While species richness remained consistent across sites, results revealed significant variations in visitation rates and a shift in dominant species.

Update of Cestodes Parasitizing Neotropical Hystricomorphic Rodent [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
This review aims at identifying cestodes that are present in hunted rodent species in the neo-tropical region. The rodent species that was investigated were the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, Linnaeus, 1766), lappe (Cuniculus paca, Linnaeus, 1766),

Use of species' responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Nutritive Value and Physical Properties of Neo-Tropical Rodent Meat-with Emphasis on the Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) [PDF]

Animals, 2020
This review will focus on the nutritive characteristics of meat from neo-tropical rodents which have not yet been domesticated. These rodents include the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), agouti (Dasyprocta leporina), and the lappe (Agouti paca ...

Collared Peccary Wallows are Hubs of Animal Activity and Diversity in a Central American Wet Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Collared peccary wallows are used by a diverse assemblage of vertebrates in a Central American tropical wet forest. Wallows had significantly higher vertebrate activity and diversity compared to surrounding forest. Wallow visitors included 13 amphibian, 2 reptile, 11 bird, and 16 mammal species, engaged in behaviors including reproduction, drinking ...
