Diversity, abundance and the impact of hunting on large mammals in two contrasting forest sites in northern amazon

Wildlife Biology, Volume 21, Issue 5, Page 234-245, September 2015., 2015
A variety of Amazonian mammals serve as sources of food for its human inhabitants, but hunting can have a strong negative impact on them. Diversity, abundance, biomass, and average group size of medium‐sized and large mammals are compared across two forest areas of the northern Amazon: the Viruá National Park (protected) and the Novo Paraíso settlement

Placental Evolution within the Supraordinal Clades of Eutheria with the Perspective of Alternative Animal Models for Human Placentation

Advances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Here a survey of placental evolution is conducted. Placentation is a key factor for the evolution of placental mammals that had evolved an astonishing diversity. As a temporary organ that does not allow easy access, it is still not well understood. The lack of data also is a restriction for better understanding of placental development, structure, and ...

Review of hyperdispersal in wildlife translocations

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Species translocation is a common tool to reverse biodiversity loss, but it has a high failure rate. One factor that contributes to failure is postrelease hyperdispersal, which we define as the long‐distance movement of individuals resulting in their failure to contribute to population establishment.

兽类学基础知识——第五讲 贫齿目概论

野生动物学报, 1983
贫齿目（Edentata）字源于拉丁文,其字首Edentul-,是没牙的意思;字尾-ate是将字首变为形容词。顾名思义,这个目的动物应该没有牙齿。实际上,除食蚁兽（Myrmeccobius fasciatus Waterhouse）一科——食蚁兽科（美洲食蚁兽科）真正没有牙外,其余两个科——犰狳科（Dasypodidae）有多达100颗左右的同型齿（homodont）,而树懒科（Bradypodidae ...
