Nocturnal activity by the primarily diurnal Central American agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) in relation to environmental conditions, resource abundance and predation risk [PDF]

, 2009
An animal's fitness is in part based on its ability to manage the inherent risks (foraging costs, predation, exposure to disease) with the benefits (resource gain, access to mates, social interactions) of activity (Abrams 1991, Altizer et al. 2003, Lima &

The Agoutis: A Future Model for Ecologically Relevant Neuroscience and Physiology In Natura

Ethology, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2024.
Recent advances in behavioral monitoring and wireless physiology make neuroscience in the wild a viable option for larger animal models. Here we spotlight one such species, the agouti (Dasyprocta spp.) a large promising rodent model for the future of neuroscience in natura.

The relationship between external temperature and daily activity in a large rodent (Dasyprocta azarae) in the Brazilian Pantanal [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2015
Abstract:Daily activity patterns reflect interactions between circadian mechanisms and environmental stimuli. Among these stimuli, temperature can be an important factor affecting activity budgets. To sample the agouti (Dasyprocta azarae), a systematic camera-trap grid was established with 50 independent sampling sites.

Neotropical mammal responses to megafires in the Brazilian Pantanal

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.
We investigated how forest fires in the Brazilian Pantanal affected the occupancy of eight mammals and the density of jaguars and ocelots. We found that occupancy or habitat use declined for six of the species, with the giant armadillo being the most affected species, and the density of jaguars and ocelots remained stable, though the persistence of ...

TEMPORAL ECOLOGY OF DASYPROCTA AZARAE (RODENTIA, DASYPROCTIDAE) IN CENTRAL BRAZIL

Revista de Geopolítica
Dasyprocta azarae is widely distributed across South America and plays an important role in secondary seed dispersal. Although it is considered common in several regions, information on its abundance and temporal ecology in the Brazilian Cerrado remains scarce.

DESCRIÇÃO ANÁTOMO-RADIOGRÁFICA DO ESQUELETO AXIAL DA CUTIA (Dasyprocta azarae, LICHTENSTEIN, 1823)

Ars Veterinaria, 2009
O esqueleto axial dos mamíferos compreende o crânio, a coluna vertebral, as costelas e o esterno, sendo o conhecimento anatômico-radiográfico desses ossos de importância impar para a clínica e cirurgia. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o intuito de melhor conhecer alguns aspectos anátomo-radiográficos do esqueleto axial de um grande roedor selvagem ...
