Use of species' responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Ultrastructure of the adrenal gland of paca (Cuniculus paca, Linnaeus, 1766) in captivity

Acta Veterinaria Brasilica, 2021
Lowland paca (Cuniculus paca, Linnaeus, 1766) is a medium-sized rodent that belongs to the Brazilian fauna. Yet little information on its morphology is found in the specialized literature. Thus, the objective of the work was to study the morphology of the adrenal gland of paca by means of microscopic ultrastructure analysis.

Embryonic and fetal morphology in the lowland paca (Cuniculus paca): A precocial hystricomorph rodent

Theriogenology, 2017
In mammals, the embryonic and fetal development of a species has evolved to maximize neonatal survival. In this study, we use a sample of 132 embryos/fetuses of wild lowland paca (Cuniculus paca), obtained over a period of 15 years through collaborative methods with local hunters in the Amazon to describe the intrauterine development of external and ...
