Diversity and Activity Patterns of Medium-Sized and Large Terrestrial Mammals in Agroforests of a Peruvian Amazon Rainforest Region. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe studied species richness and activity patterns of medium‐sized and large terrestrial mammals in agroforests located in the northern buffer zone of Tambopata National Reserve, Peru. The agroforests harboured a high number of mammal species, with species richness increasing alongside greater structural complexity of vegetation.

Diversity and Abundance of the Species of Arboreal Mammals in a Tropical Rainforest in Southeast Mexico. [PDF]
Ecol EvolArboreal camera trapping provides insights about mammals' community in a human‐modified landscape. High species richness in the area nourish the notion of HML as refuges for fauna. ABSTRACT Habitat loss threatens biodiversity worldwide being particularly detrimental in tropical rainforests where a cumulative deforestation expands for decades.

Importance of connectivity for carnivore richness and occupancy in fragmented biodiversity hotspots. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Structural connectivity affects wildlife movement between habitat patches, contributing to the persistence of wildlife populations and their resilience to human‐induced and environmental changes. However, its importance to wildlife population persistence remains unclear, particularly in fragmented landscapes, where there are additional co ...

Jaguar Density at the Northeastern Limit of Its Distribution in Mexico. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study presents the first estimate of jaguar density in northeastern Mexico using a spatial capture–recapture model with random thinning, which incorporates both identified and unidentified camera trap detections. Conducted over 91 days with 104 cameras, the model yielded a density of 1.29 individuals per 100 km2 in the El Cielo–Sierra de Tamalave ...

Using camera traps to enhance community-based management of subsistence hunting in the Amazon. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Community‐based management and monitoring of biodiversity has emerged as a cost‐effective strategy for providing credible data, informing decision‐making, and empowering local communities in resource governance and management. However, the establishment of community‐based management of subsistence hunting in the Brazilian Amazon has been ...

Potential distribution of margay (Leopardus wiedii, Schinz, 1821) in Northeastern Mexico [PDF]
Therya, 2016 The margay ( Leopardus wiedii, Schinz 1821) is a small Neotropical cat that is native with distribution from South America into Northeastern Mexico. This species is now threatened by illegal hunting and habitat destruction and, in Northeastern Mexico, their habitat has been fragmented and population sizes have been dramatically reduced. We use the

Density and activity pattern of Leopardus wiedii and Leopardus pardalis in Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico [PDF]
Therya, 2017 The margay, Leopardus wiedii, and the ocelot, L. pardalis, are sympatric species through their distribution areas. Some studies indicate that L. pardalis exerts a strong influence on other smaller felids. Our goal in this study was to estimate the density and activity patterns of these felid species in two vegetation types at Sierra Norte of Oaxaca ...

Cutaneous myofibroblastic fibrosarcoma in a margay (Leopardus wiedii)
Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2020 A routine check-up was performed on a captive 14-year-old female margay (Leopardus wiedii), a cutaneous mass was detected on the ventral thorax. The mass was surgically removed and sent for histopathological analysis. Histologically, the mass was a poorly-demarcated, highly cellular, infiltrative and unencapsulated mesenchymal neoplasm ...
