An evaluation of platforms for processing camera‐trap data using artificial intelligence
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 459-477, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Camera traps have quickly transformed the way in which many ecologists study the distribution of wildlife species, their activity patterns and interactions among members of the same ecological community. Although they provide a cost‐effective method for monitoring multiple species over large spatial and temporal scales, the time required to ...

Palaeontology, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2022., 2022 Abstract The Middle Jurassic witnessed the early diversification of mammal groups, including the stem‐mammalian clade, Docodonta. Recent discoveries in China indicate docodontans exhibited ecomorphological diversity akin to small‐bodied mammals living >100 million years later, in the Cenozoic.

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 870-883, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Megadams are among the key modern drivers of habitat and biodiversity loss in emerging economies. The Balbina Hydroelectric Dam of Central Brazilian Amazonia inundated 312,900 ha of primary forests and created approximately 3500 variable‐sized islands that still harbor vertebrate populations after nearly 3 decades after isolation. We estimated

Primer reporte de albinismo en Dasyprocta fuliginosa (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae)
Mammalia aequatorialis, 2021 We documented the first case of albinism for Dasyprocta fuliginosa, based on an individual that we recorded near San Pablo de Kantensiya, in the province of Sucumbíos, Ecuador. In this report, we also include information on the perspective with regards to this finding of the Siekopai indigenous people, ancestral inhabitants of the sector.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2016 The agouti (Dasyprocta sp.) is a hystricomorph rodent found in some regions of the Americas. It is an important cynegetic species, which indicates that the overhunting is a threat to their conservation. Very little is known about this wildlife in relation to what already has been studied in domestic animals.
