The biosonar of the boto: evidence of differences among species of river dolphins (Inia spp.) from the Amazon [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Echolocation clicks can reflect the anatomy of the vocalizing animal, enabling the distinction of species. River dolphins from the family Iniidae are formally represented by one species and two subspecies (Inia geoffrensis geoffrensis and I.

Animal tracking moves community ecology: Opportunities and challenges. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 Eltonian and Grinnelian dynamics inferred from multi‐species tracking data. Panel (a): Tracks of five individuals from three different species reveal intraspecific and interspecific interactions through time, thereby enabling the construction of interaction topologies including both conspecifics and heterospecifics at an individual level.

Genetic structure and climate niche differentiation among populations of Leopardus geoffroyi. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGeoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) is a small‐sized felid present in a wide variety of habitats in South America, including areas with high levels of anthropization. We identified two genetic clusters, one in the north‐northeast of the species' distribution and the other in the south‐southwest, the latter showing lower genetic variability and a more ...
