The Brainstem Localization of Gastric Preganglionic Parasympathetic Neurons in the Agouti (Dasyprocta leporina)

open access: yesWest Indian Medical Journal, 2013
This study was designed to determine qualitatively, the source of gastric vagal nerve fibres in the Agouti. A total of 18 male and female adult agoutis were used for the present investigation. Following anaesthesia, laparotomy was performed and the stomach exteriorized.

Estrous synchronization in agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina) using the Ovsynch protocol, followed by natural mating and evaluation of success via offspring birth

open access: yesTheriogenology Wild
Research on estrous synchronization and/or induction in the Dasyprocta species remains limited and no previous studies have confirmed reproductive success through offspring birth following hormonal synchronization protocols.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Frugivory and the importance of seeds in the diet of the orange-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina) in French Guiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
This study described the diet of the orange-rumped agouti Dasyprocta leporina in French Guiana. Five food types were identified in stomach contents: seeds, pulp, fibre, leaves and animal matter. D.

Cache pilferage in red-rumped agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina) (Rodentia) [PDF]

open access: yesmamm, 2005
Food hoarding is the handling of food to conserve it for future use, and food hoarding animals have the capacity to control the availability of food in space and time (Smith & Reichman 1984; Vanderwall 1990). The benefits derived from this control include an improved individual probability of survival during periods of food scarcity, optimized foraging

Anthropogenic disturbances simplify frugivory interactions in Amazonia

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Frugivory interactions are essential ecological processes for the regeneration of tropical forests, ensuring ecosystem resilience following disturbances. However, little is known about how frugivory interactions are shaped by anthropogenic disturbances, especially in Amazonia – one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth.

Experimental heteroxenous cycle of Lagochilascaris minor Leiper, 1909 (Nematoda: Ascarididae) in white mice and in cats

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
Reports of natural infections of sylvatic carnivores by adult worms of species similar to Lagochilascaris minor in the Neotropical region led to attempts to estabilish experimental cycles in laboratory mice and in cats.

Surviving in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation: Richness and Defaunation of Mammals in Priority‐Protected Areas of the Brazilian Midwest

open access: yesAustral 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.
