Osteossíntese de úmero em um gato-maracajá (Leopardus Wiedii) / Humeral osteosynthesis in a margay (Leopardus Wiedii) [PDF]
Os felídeos selvagens são os mamíferos mais admirados pelo ser humano, mas a maior causa do declínio desses animais na natureza é a destruição e a fragmentação dos seus habitats.

Natives Against Invaders: Shared Use of Space and Temporal Segregation of Clouded Tiger-Cats (<i>Leopardus pardinoides</i>) and Domestic Dogs (<i>Canis familiaris</i>) in an Isolated Protected Area. [PDF]
We studied the spatial and temporal relationships between clouded tiger‐cats and dogs in an isolated protected area of Colombia. Dogs influenced the activity patterns of clouded tiger‐cats but not their habitat use. Conservation actions should be directed to mitigate potential contact between both species.

Diversity and Activity Patterns of Medium-Sized and Large Terrestrial Mammals in Agroforests of a Peruvian Amazon Rainforest Region. [PDF]
We 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.

Importance of connectivity for carnivore richness and occupancy in fragmented biodiversity hotspots. [PDF]
Abstract 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 ...

Multi‐Species Canopy Latrines in Costa Rican Cloud Forests: A Mammal Interactions Hub in a Single Tree Species [PDF]
We documented arboreal, multi‐species mammal latrines in montane cloud forests of Costa Rica by surveying 169 trees across 29 species. Latrines were found exclusively on Ficus tuerckheimii, with 11 occurrences across two mountain ranges and an additional observation in Honduras.
