Mammals, Serra da Concórdia, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [PDF]
, 2008 The Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro is extremely fragmented and reduced in its originalextension. Although there are a great number of studies related to the biome, few lists are available for this region.

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.We found rich and compositionally different assemblages of medium and large‐sized mammals in protected areas on the southern edge of Amazon. However, both have high rates of mammal defaunation. We argue that anthropogenic threats in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation are eroding large ungulate populations, especially peccaries.

Differences in social preference between the sexes during ontogeny drive segregation in a precocial species (dataset) [PDF]
, 2017 Data used in Whiteside et al Differences in social preference between the sexes during ontogeny drive segregation in a precocial speciesHypotheses for why animals sexually segregate typically rely on adult traits such as differences in sexual roles ...

Gaps and opportunities in on‐host winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) surveillance in North America
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.The investigation and management of the impacts of winter tick infestations on moose in North America necessitates coordinated surveillance and intervention efforts. The current absence of searching for winter ticks on other potential ungulate hosts, largely based on historical beliefs of predilection from limited captive studies, has created a ...

Sex-biased differences in the effects of host individual, host population and environmental traits driving tick parasitism in red deer [PDF]
, 2013 The interactions between host individual, host population, and environmental factors modulate parasite abundance in a given host population. Since adult exophilic ticks are highly aggregated in red deer (Cervus elaphus) and this ungulate exhibits ...

Perceived Predation Risk Affects Mammal Behavior at Amazonian Mineral Licks
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2025.Mineral licks are critical resources for herbivores in Amazonia and other tropical regions which may be deficient in dietary minerals or consuming alkaloid‐laced leaves which may cause gastrointestinal issues. Animals visiting mineral licks must balance the benefits of relief of physiological stressors with the risk of predation, and they may employ ...

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

An Ecomorphological Approach to Craniomandibular Integration in Neotropical Deer [PDF]
, 2021 South American cervids have a relatively recent evolutionary history in the Neotropics. Present taxonomical richness includes six genera and 17 species grouped in at least two clades, Blastocerina and Odocoileina.

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 1, January/March 2025.We show that excluding native grazers from a South American grassy ecosystem leads to strong declines in plant species richness over an 18‐month period. Our results imply that severely defaunated South American ecosystems have retained plant taxa and functional trait complexes that can tolerate intense herbivory, identifying herbivore reintroductions ...
