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.

Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Sloths are notoriously slow and consequently have limited dispersal ability, which makes them particularly vulnerable to the effects of habitat fragmentation and degradation. Sloths in Costa Rica are considered of conservation concern due to habitat loss,

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 5, Page 564-577, June 2025.ABSTRACT Suspensory locomotion differs significantly from upright quadrupedal locomotion in mammals. Nevertheless, we know little concerning joint kinematics of suspensory movement. Here, we report three‐dimensional kinematic data during locomotion in brown‐throated three‐toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus). Individuals were recorded with four calibrated

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 4, May 2025.ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.Flagship species are used to promote conservation and tourism, but selecting species purely for prescribed appealing characteristics may overlook unique flagships or homogenise selections. A strategy of polling the public can more directly identify existing preferences for species for marketing.
