Atlantic mammal traits: a dataset of morphological traits of mammals in the atlantic forest of south America [PDF]
Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works consider mean species-level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species.

Bolivian Ectoparasites: A Survey of the Fleas ofCtenomys(Rodentia: Ctenomyidae)
We present the results of a multiyear survey of the fleas from ctenomyid rodents across many different habitats from throughout Bolivia. New species records for Bolivia include Tiamastus palpalis and Ectinorus (Panallius) galeanus. New records of fleas from Ctenomys in Bolivia include Gephyropsylla klagesi, Sphinctopsylla inca, and Tetrapsyllus tristis.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

ABSTRACT Aim Climate change represents one of the main threats to global biodiversity, and such alterations are expected to induce shifts in distribution ranges and diversity patterns. We evaluate if protected areas and forest remnants in the Atlantic Forest in South America (AF) are projected to ensure the taxonomic diversity (TD) and phylogenetic ...

DAILY MOVEMENTS AND MAXIMUM SPEED IN CTENOMYS TALARUM (RODENTIA: CTENOMYIDAE) IN ARTIFICIAL ENCLOSURES [PDF]
Ctenomys talarum is a solitary subterranean rodent that maintains exclusive territories by constant movement through a sealed tunnel system. In this study we evaluate the distance traveled in an artificial burrow and maximum natural locomotor speed reached in a 24-h period.
