Evolution of the axial skeleton in armadillos (Mammalia, Dasypodidae)
Mammalian Biology, 2010 Intraspecific and interspecific variation in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar region of the vertebral column of Dasypodidae were examined in a phylogenetic framework. The number of vertebrae for each region were recorded for 86 specimens and metric data for each vertebra (centrum length, high, and width) were recorded for 72 specimens, including eight of

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.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.

Ecology of a widespread large omnivore, Homo sapiens, and its impacts on ecosystem processes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 19, Page 10874-10894, October 2019., 2019 The ecology of humans is usually considered separately and often using different concepts to those used for other species. We propose an ecological approach to humans based on the joint consideration of intraspecific variation and interspecific comparison.
