Placental development in the early stages of red-rumped agouti pregnancy (Dasyprocta leporina Linnaeus, 1758). [PDF]

J Vet Sci, 2023
Hystricomorpha rodents display a similar placentation model to humans. The present study was carried out considering the scarcity of information concerning the placental development in agouti.Describe the microscopy of the placenta, subplacenta and yolk sac of agoutis in early pregnancy and report on the inversion of the yolk sac.Fifteen females ...

Effects of Embryo Production Method and Culture Medium on Embryonic Development in Red-Rumped Agouti. [PDF]

Cell Biol Int
ABSTRACT Advances in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) help overcome reproductive barriers. However, a comprehensive understanding of embryonic development is crucial for their success. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and artificial oocyte activation (AOA) are embryo production methods commonly used.

Anthelmintic usage on the Reproductive Parameters in Captive reared Agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina) in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
The agouti (Dasyprocta leporina) is a rodent that is found in the Neo-tropical region. This animal is hunted for its meat but has recently been reared in captivity as a source of meat protein in rural communities. A 20-month experiment was carried out to

Large- and medium-bodied terrestrial mammals of the Upper Berbice region of Guyana [PDF]

Check List, 2020
Large mammals are key contributors to forest ecosystems globally, but Neotropical mammal populations are understudied. We employed remotely triggered camera traps and track surveys to assess the mammal community in the newly accessible upper Berbice ...

The distribution of bushmeat mammals in unflooded forests of the Central Amazon is influenced by poaching proxies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Our study focuses on investigating the impact of anthropogenic factors on the occupancy of medium and large mammals in unflooded forests of the Central Amazon. Through a camera trapping survey conducted across 47 sampling sites during the dry season, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the influence of anthropogenic stressors on mammal occupancy ...

The U.S. market for imported wildlife not listed in the CITES multilateral treaty

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The international wildlife trade presents severe conservation and environmental security risks, yet no international regulatory framework exists to monitor the trade of species not listed in the appendices of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). We explored the composition and dynamics of

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Evaluating the success of functional restoration after reintroduction of a lost avian pollinator

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Conservation translocation is a common method for species recovery, for which one increasingly frequent objective is restoring lost ecological functions to promote ecosystem recovery. However, few conservation translocation programs explicitly state or monitor function as an objective, limiting the ability to test assumptions, learn from past ...

Local abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around indigenous villages in Suriname

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Hunting is an important threat to tropical wildlife, yet many people are dependent on forest fauna for protein provisioning. We analyzed abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around four indigenous villages in the south of Suriname, using camera trap data and the Royle–Nichols abundance model.

Limited temporal response of Cerrado mammals to anthropogenic pressure in areas under distinct levels of protection

Journal of Zoology, Volume 317, Issue 1, Page 43-55, May 2022., 2022
We used camera trap data to investigate whether Cerrado mammals would shift part of their activity towards the night in response to anthropogenic pressure. Our results revealed that 12 out of 14 species investigated did not show a temporal response to pressure.
