Ranging behavior and habitat selection of pacas (Cuniculus paca) in central Belize [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2016
Habitat loss and fragmentation present major challenges for wildlife conservation since connectivity between suitable habitat patches is needed for dispersal, allowing for genetic exchange between populations. These exchanges can be particularly important in marginal habitats as they ensure the persistence of populations that are often most vulnerable ...

Understanding Mammalian Habitat Use With a Multi‐Species, Multi‐Scale Approach: The Jaguar Protection Corridor in Guaviare, Colombia

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.
