Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Extracting vitalities: Cuts in Indigenous women's bodies‐territories (Brazil)
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, I explore the connections between the medicalization of childbirth and environmental devastation through Guarani‐Mbyá understandings of life and the living. I argue that the cuts made to Guarani‐Mbyá women's vaginas (episiotomies) in Brazilian hospitals are experienced and situated on the same cosmopolitical level as the cuts ...

Eimeriosis in capybaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil [PDF]
Parasitología latinoamericana, 2007 ABSTRACT Capybaras are the largest of living rodents and are the most common wild rodent in the state ofRio Grande do Sul, Brazil. They are commercially bred for their meat, hide, and oil.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Rapid identification of capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) through allele-specific PCR
Revista de Ensino de Bioquímica, 2005 The capybara is the largest rodent in the world and is widely distributed throughout Central and South America. It is an animal of economic interest due to the pleasant flavor of its meat and higher protein content in comparison to beef and pork meat. The hide, hair and fat also have economic advantages.
