Mammals' zoogeochemical effects change litter and soil biogeochemistry in a tropical rainforest

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract While most research on nutrient cycling has focused on plant–soil interactions or soil decomposers, recent studies highlight the emerging role of terrestrial mammals in contributing to biogeochemical cycles, a field known as zoogeochemistry. More than half of all mammal species are found in tropical forests, ecosystems currently experiencing ...

Vasectomy in Spotted Paca (Cuniculus paca) [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Cuniculus paca is the second largest neotropical rodent. It is not endangered, but your habitat has been destroyed and the specie has been hunted, because of its prized meat.

Trait‐filtered responses of mammal communities to land use change in a Neotropical dry forest

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Land use change alters forest ecosystems by reducing habitat amount and often increasing fragmentation, but the relative importance of these drivers for community dynamics remains debated. It is also unclear whether functional traits consistently predict species' responses to forest change, particularly in tropical dry forests.

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...
