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.

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Seasonality in Reproduction and Reproductive Physiology of Caviomorphs
ABSTRACT Animals experience seasonal fluctuations of photoperiod, food availability, temperature and precipitation. This affects their energy budget, often leading to seasonal reproduction. We review available literature and (re)‐analyse existing datasets on seasonal reproduction of South American caviomorph rodents that are characterised by long ...

The Serra do Amolar, located in the Brazilian Pantanal, is a crucial but understudied area for biodiversity conservation. Through camera traps, we recorded 29 mammal species, including three rodent species documented for the first time in the area: Cavia aperea, Cuniculus paca, and Holochilus chacarius.

Home range and habitat data for Hispaniolan mammals challenge assumptions for conservation management [PDF]
Conservation decision-making for threatened species in human-modified landscapes requires detailed knowledge about spatial ecology, but robust data derived from tracking individual animals are often unavailable, with management decisions potentially ...
