Trends in Medicinal Uses of Edible Wild Vertebrates in Brazil. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2017 The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such use is often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses of wild edible vertebrates in the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at

ESTRUTURA POPULACIONAL DE Bradypus tridactylus (XENARTHRA, BRADYPODIDAE) EM FRAGMENTO FLORESTAL URBANO NO MUNICÍPIO DE MANAUS, AMAZONAS, BRASIL [PDF]
Estudos de Biologia, 2007 Os objetivos deste trabalho foram estimar a população de Bradypus tridactylus Linnaeus, 1758 dentro de um fragmento; verificar a proporção sexual e a faixa etária (indivíduos adultos [machos e fêmeas], jovens e filhotes) e sugerir, com base nos dados coletados, se há uma superpopulação desses animais na área de estudo. O local de estudo foi o Bosque da

The orobasal organ (of Ackerknecht): A bizarre structure of the mammalian oral cavity
Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 In 1912, Ackerknecht discovered and described an epithelial invagination behind the lower medial incisors in different mammalian species. This rudimentary structure might be a vestiagial organ which lost its physiological function. Named after its discoverer the “orobasal organ of Ackerknecht” is widely unknown in the scientific world.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...
