The northern naked-tailed armadillo in the Lacandona rainforest, Mexico: new records and potential threats Armadillo de cola desnuda en la selva lacandona, México: nuevos registros y amenazas potenciales

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
We review historic occurrences in Mexico of one of the least known Xenarthra of Mesoamerica - the northern naked-tailed armadillo (Cabassous centralis Miller, 1899).

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

Global 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

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 ...

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

Conservation 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

Conservation 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

Habitat destruction and overexploitation drive widespread declines in all facets of mammalian diversity in the Gran Chaco

Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 755-767, February 2021., 2021
Habitat destruction and overhunting are two main threats to biodiversity, yet we lack understanding of how they impact on different facets of biodiversity. We assessed these impacts on the three facets of mammal diversity (taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity) from 1985 to 2015 across South America’s Gran Chaco.

Interrelação entre acari Ixodidae e hospedeiros Edentata da Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais, Brasil Interelationships between acari Ixodidae and Edentata hosts form Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais State, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989
Recebemos para exame uma pequena coleção de carrapatos no Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra (MG), entre 1979 e 1980. Os autores demosntraram a existência de uma larga co-acomodação de Amblyomma pseudoconcolor em edentados da familia Dasypodidae, sendo
