Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 8, August 2025.Caraguatypotherium munozi displays a distinctive morphofunctional configuration combining high wrist flexor leverage with reduced elbow mechanical advantage—traits consistent with wrist‐dominated scratch‐digging. Multivariate analyses place it outside the core morphospaces of extant locomotor groups.

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.
