Identifying hotspots and priority areas for xenarthran research and conservation

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 12, Page 2778-2790, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Limited funds for conservation and research require the development of prioritization schemes. Traditionally, biodiversity metrics were used to delineate priority areas; however, a growing realization emphasizes that logistic factors should be also considered.

Species, taxonomic, and functional group diversities of terrestrial mammals at risk under climate change and land‐use/cover change scenarios in Mexico

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 23, Page 6992-7008, December 2022., 2022
We combined trait‐based and correlative approaches to assign risks to species, taxonomic orders, and functional groups of terrestrial mammals in Mexico, under climate change (CC) and land‐use/cover change (LUCC) scenarios. Risk scores were obtained as a function of vulnerability, exposure, and hazard, using the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

New records on the distribution and habitat of the northern naked-tailed armadillo, Cabassous centralis (Mammalia, Cingulata, Chlamyphoridae) in Costa Rica [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical Biology and Conservation, 2021
The northern naked-tailed armadillo, Cabassous centralis, is a rare and elusive species. It ranges from southern Mexico to northern South America. It has been detected in several types of habitats, but appears to prefer Tropical and Subtropical broadleaf

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

Local abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around indigenous villages in Suriname

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Hunting is an important threat to tropical wildlife, yet many people are dependent on forest fauna for protein provisioning. We analyzed abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around four indigenous villages in the south of Suriname, using camera trap data and the Royle–Nichols abundance model.

Determinants of population persistence and abundance of terrestrial and arboreal vertebrates stranded in tropical forest land‐bridge islands

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 870-883, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Megadams are among the key modern drivers of habitat and biodiversity loss in emerging economies. The Balbina Hydroelectric Dam of Central Brazilian Amazonia inundated 312,900 ha of primary forests and created approximately 3500 variable‐sized islands that still harbor vertebrate populations after nearly 3 decades after isolation. We estimated
