Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Living in the Pyrocene: Assemblage-Wide Terrestrial Vertebrate Responses to Mega-Fires in the Pantanal Wetlands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
More than 60% of Serra do Amolar within the Pantanal Wetlands, Brazil, was burned in 2020. Nine vertebrate species showed a dependency on forest areas, which are more vulnerable to fires in this region, despite the fire not having shown a direct effect on the occupation.

Phylogenetic Inferences Based on Distinct Molecular Markers Confirm a Novel Babesia Species (Babesia goianiaensis nov. sp.) in Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) and Associated Ticks [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2023
Piroplasmids (order Piroplasmida) are a diverse group of tick-borne protozoa that may cause disease in animals and occasionally in humans. Novel Piroplasmida clades and species have been found in wild animals from Brazil based on the phylogenetic ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Anaplasmataceae circulation in wild mammals and ticks from Goiás state, midwestern Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
The Anaplasmataceae family comprises vector-borne alpha-proteobacteria with significant impact on animal and human health. In Brazil, the diversity and circulation of these agents in wild mammals require further exploration.
