Use of Boat Surveys to Provide Complementary Data on the Ecology of Bradypus Tridactylus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) from Northern Amazonia [PDF]

Edentata, 2012
Abstract Here we present new data on relative abundance and diet of Bradypus tridactylus Linnaeus, 1758 resulting from 2,505 km of river based surveys conducted in northern Amazonia. Our sampling effort using a motorized boat provided a low number of B. tridactylus detections (n = 4, relative abundance of 0.02 individuals/ 10 km surveyed).
