Austral 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.

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.

Ecosphere, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2019., 2019 Abstract Scatter‐hoarding animals can dramatically affect plant survival by depositing seeds in favorable microhabitats away from parent plants (seed dispersal) and by consuming seeds (seed predation). By understanding how scatter hoarders make seed dispersal decisions, we can infer how different plant chemical defenses or seed set strategies may ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 3, May/June 2024.Abstract Caviomorph rodents are endemic to South America and are one of the most adaptively diverse radiations of rodents today. Although their origin and diversification have been intensively studied, questions still remain about many of the details of where, when and how the group radiated.

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 3, May 2024.On an island system with reduced guilds, capuchin monkeys exhibit high levels of terrestriality and localized tool use, which may have consequences for sympatric species with shared diets. Here we used camera traps to assess the degree of spatio‐temporal overlap between capuchins and agoutis at a site with predators and two islands with reduced guilds.

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.The native savannas of eastern Colombia cover about six percent of the Neotropical savannas. Within these 17 million hectares, the current composition of nonflying mammals evidenced colonization from Andean, Guyanese, and Amazonian speciation centers and endemism processes.
