Molecular Detection of <i>Histoplasma capsulatum</i> in Small Wild Mammals, Dogs, and Cats from Areas of Remaining Forest in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2023
Histoplasma capsulatum is the etiological agent of histoplasmosis, which can infect birds and different mammal species, including humans. In Brazil, the disease is not notifiable, and little is known about its infection in domestic and wild mammals. This study aimed to perform the molecular detection of H.

Diversity and Abundance of the Species of Arboreal Mammals in a Tropical Rainforest in Southeast Mexico. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Arboreal camera trapping provides insights about mammals' community in a human‐modified landscape. High species richness in the area nourish the notion of HML as refuges for fauna. ABSTRACT Habitat loss threatens biodiversity worldwide being particularly detrimental in tropical rainforests where a cumulative deforestation expands for decades.

Tails in Action: Comparative Use of the Prehensile Tail and Substrate in Alouatta macconnelli, Sapajus apella, and Potos flavus. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Barplot representing the frequencies (percentages) of positional behaviors in relation to tail use for Alouatta macconnelli (left), Potos flavus (middle), and Sapajus apella (right). For each species, the left barplot represents all positional behaviors, the middle one postural behaviors, and the right one locomotor behaviors.

Spatiotemporal walking gait kinematics of semi‐arboreal red pandas (Ailurus fulgens)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 8, Page 755-766, October 1, 2023., 2023
While footfall patterns are consistent across arboreal and terrestrial locomotion, flexibility in other kinematic variables allow semi‐arboreal red pandas to navigate disparate biomechanical challenges inherent to arboreal versus terrestrial locomotion.

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 ...

Vertical stratification of seed‐dispersing vertebrate communities and their interactions with plants in tropical forests

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 454-469, April 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Vertical stratification (VS) is a widespread phenomenon in plant and animal communities in forests and a key factor for structuring their species richness and biodiversity, particularly in tropical forests. The organisms composing forest communities adjust and shape the complex three‐dimensional structure of their environment and inhabit a ...

“Forever young”—Postnatal growth inhibition of the turbinal skeleton in brachycephalic dog breeds (Canis lupus familiaris)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 304, Issue 1, Page 154-189, January 2021., 2021
Abstract In short snouted (brachycephalic) dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), several genetic mutations cause postnatal growth inhibition of the viscerocranium. Thus, for example, the pug keeps a snub nose like that observed in neonate dogs in general. However, little is known how far intranasal structures like the turbinal skeleton are also affected.

A geometric morphometric analysis of cranial and mandibular shape variation of didelphid marsupials

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2000
<strong>Abstract</strong> The New World marsupial family Didelphidae is one of the oldest among mammals and is usually regarded as a morphologically conservative group. We analyzed cranial shape variation among six species of the six largest

New records of two marsupials (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) and conservation notes from southern Mexico [PDF]

Neotropical Biology and Conservation
In Mexico opossums are difficult to find, and much of their natural history, ecology, and behavior are unknown. Through photographic and visual records, we obtained data on the presence of two species of marsupials in southern Mexico.
