La conservación de mamíferos medianos en dos reservas ecológicas privadas de Veracruz, México

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018
La fauna es un elemento particularmente distintivo y carismático de la biodiversidad tropical que está siendo sometido a una amenaza sin precedentes por la cacería furtiva y la pérdida de su hábitat.

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

Analysis of the synaptonemal complex of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2000
The synaptonemal complex (SC) of three specimens of the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was analyzed. Thirty-two bivalents (2n = 64) were observed, 31 of them being autosomes and one an XY sexual bivalent.

Faunivores are active longer than herbivores across the daily cycle in a Neotropical savanna–forest mammal community

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Daily activity budgets reflect how animals balance internal physiological demands with external environmental pressures. We analyzed 14 037 camera‐trap records from 12 mammal species in the Venezuelan Llanos to evaluate the effects of foraging strategy (faunivore versus herbivore), season, and body mass on daily activity duration, to describe diel ...

The status quo is imperiled: Acknowledging the issue of range‐shifting wildlife species

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Rapid climate and land‐use change are reshaping wildlife distributions, forcing managers to confront difficult decisions that challenge the traditional “status quo” approach. Range contractions of snow‐dependent species such as the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus; left photo) may increasingly require practitioners to recognize and plan for unavoidable ...

Environmental and human‐related gradients shape the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in a central Amazonian white‐sand Forest

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This novel study examines how environmental and human‐related gradients influence habitat use and the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in Central Amazonian white‐sand forests (campinaranas), one of the naturally rarest and least studied ecosystems in the Amazon region.

Understanding Mammalian Habitat Use With a Multi‐Species, Multi‐Scale Approach: The Jaguar Protection Corridor in Guaviare, Colombia

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

Perceptions of nativeness shift quite rapidly over time

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 11, Page 3997-4007, November 2026.
Abstract The spread of non‐native species has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges for conservation and ecosystem management. Yet attitudes towards species change, making it possible for non‐native species to be perceived as native after some time.

Reservorios mamíferos del Trypanosoma cruzi en Paraguay

Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud, 2013
La transmisión enzoótica del Trypanosoma cruzi en Paraguay aún no ha sido bien determinada. Por lo tanto, todavía se desconocen varios aspectos de la dinámica de transmisión de este parásito en el medio selvático, como ser especies de reservorios ...
