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

This study introduces a liquid‐based sampling approach for airborne eDNA (A). Using a greenhouse mock‐community for optimization (B), we use the novel approach in the tropical Andes to demonstrate its versatility and the complementary nature of airborne and aquatic eDNA for molecular biodiversity assessments (C).

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 ...

Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest
We experimentally investigated the effects of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal defaunation on the removal and fate of seeds from economically important forest species in Amazonian forests. Our results show that mammal exclusion significantly reduced seed removal, although the magnitude of this effect varied among plant species.

Fallen Logs Act as Natural Bridges Over Rivers in a Tropical Wet Forest
We studied how vertebrate species used logs as bridges over rivers in a tropical rainforest. Most mammals present in the area used logs, but the frequency and probability of crossing varied widely among species, between seasons, and in relation to the dimensions of the log and the river below.

O exame necroscópico é especialmente útil no diagnóstico de enfermidades em animais silvestres. Em muitas ocasiões, as manifestações clínicas não são características como em animais domésticos, sendo frequente a ocorrência de óbitos em animais ...
