Living in the Pyrocene: Assemblage-Wide Terrestrial Vertebrate Responses to Mega-Fires in the Pantanal Wetlands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
More than 60% of Serra do Amolar within the Pantanal Wetlands, Brazil, was burned in 2020. Nine vertebrate species showed a dependency on forest areas, which are more vulnerable to fires in this region, despite the fire not having shown a direct effect on the occupation.

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Mycobacterium leprae Infection in a Wild Nine-Banded Armadillo, Nuevo León, Mexico

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) are naturally infected with Mycobacterium leprae and are implicated in the zoonotic transmission of leprosy in the United States. In Mexico, the existence of such a reservoir remains to be characterized.
