Ticks and tick-borne bacterial pathogens found on hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on cattle in the Central River region of The Gambia. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
First detection of Ehrlichia minasensis, Anaplasma marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in cattle in The Gambia. Identification of four tick species, with Hyalomma marginatum being the most common. 15.6% of ticks tested positive for tick‐borne pathogens, including Ehrlichia spp., A. marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.

Polling the Public to Select Flagship Species for Tourism and Conservation-A 'Big Five' for the Peruvian Amazon? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Flagship species are used to promote conservation and tourism, but selecting species purely for prescribed appealing characteristics may overlook unique flagships or homogenise selections. A strategy of polling the public can more directly identify existing preferences for species for marketing.

Social behavior between mothers ´ young of sloths Bradypus variegatus SCHINZ, 1825 (Xenarthra: Bradypodidae) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2002
This study is a contribution to the ex situ and in situ conservation and preservation of Sloths. The behavioral records of the social interaction between mothers and offspring allow the detection of important learning interactions and psychomotor ...

Ecomorphological determinations in the absence of living analogs:The predatory behavior of the marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) as revealed by elbow joint morphology [PDF]

, 2016
Thylacoleo carnifex, or the “pouched lion” (Mammalia: Marsupialia: Diprotodontia: Thylacoleonidae), was a carnivorous marsupial that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene.

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 ...

Implementation of species distribution models in Google Earth Engine

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 904-916, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a free Web‐based spatial analysis platform that requires only a web browser and an Internet connection to programmatically access and analyse data from its multi‐petabyte catalog of regularly updated satellite imagery (e.g. MODIS, Landsat, Sentinel) and other geospatial datasets.

Variation in resting strategies across trophic levels and habitats in mammals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 21, Page 14405-14415, November 2021., 2021
Despite the potentially large fitness consequences of resting in a suboptimal time or place, behavioral ecology research tends to focus on the active portions of species' daily patterns. We found that the prevalence of resting strategies varied with body mass and among trophic levels (e.g., lower trophic levels and smaller species such as rodents used ...

Shared and unique features of mammalian sleep spindles – insights from new and old animal models

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 3, Page 1021-1034, June 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Sleep spindles are phasic events observed in mammalian non‐rapid eye movement sleep. They are relevant today in the study of memory consolidation, sleep quality, mental health and ageing. We argue that our advanced understanding of their mechanisms has not exhausted the utility and need for animal model work.

Brown-throated three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus Shinz, 1825) as a new host for Leiuris leptocephalus (Rud., 1819) Leuckard, 1850 Preguiça comum (Bradypus variegatus Shinz, 1825) como novo hospedeiro de Leiuris leptocephalus (Rud., 1819) Leuckard, 1850

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2008
Vinte e três espécimes de Leiuris leptocephalus (Rud., 1819) Leuckard 1850 (Spirocercidae) foram recuperados do intestino delgado de uma fêmea de preguiça comum, Bradypus variegatus Shinz 1825 (Bradipodidae), em Ubatuba, estado de São Paulo.
