Surviving in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation: Richness and Defaunation of Mammals in Priority‐Protected Areas of the Brazilian Midwest

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
We found rich and compositionally different assemblages of medium and large‐sized mammals in protected areas on the southern edge of Amazon. However, both have high rates of mammal defaunation. We argue that anthropogenic threats in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation are eroding large ungulate populations, especially peccaries.

Origens e ramificações do plexo braquial do veado catingueiro Mazama gouazoubira (Artiodactyla: Cervidae)

open access: yesBiotemas, 2012
O plexo braquial é um conjunto de nervos com origem na região medular cervicotorácica que inerva o membro torácico e adjacências. Seu estudo em diferentes espécies é importante não apenas como uma fonte de conhecimento morfológico, mas, também, por ...

Diversity and Activity Pattern of Terrestrial Mammal Species in Serra do Amolar, Brazilian Pantanal 巴西潘塔纳尔湿地阿莫拉尔山脉陆生哺乳动物物种的多样性及活动模式

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 56-63, June 2025.
The Serra do Amolar, located in the Brazilian Pantanal, is a crucial but understudied area for biodiversity conservation. Through camera traps, we recorded 29 mammal species, including three rodent species documented for the first time in the area: Cavia aperea, Cuniculus paca, and Holochilus chacarius.

Plant and frugivore species characteristics drive frugivore contributions to seed dispersal effectiveness in a hyperdiverse community

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 238-253, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal by frugivores is a crucial step of the life cycle of most plants, influencing plant population and community dynamics. Although very important for most ecosystems, we are just beginning to understand which are the mechanisms driving frugivore‐mediated ...

Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) Generate Grazing Lawns and Maintain Plant Diversity in Neotropical Savanna

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 1, January/March 2025.
We show that excluding native grazers from a South American grassy ecosystem leads to strong declines in plant species richness over an 18‐month period. Our results imply that severely defaunated South American ecosystems have retained plant taxa and functional trait complexes that can tolerate intense herbivory, identifying herbivore reintroductions ...

Characterization of homologies between bovine BAC probes (Bos taurus) and gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) chromosomes: a new perspective on intra and interspecific studies of the genus Mazama

open access: yes, 2021
A família Cervidae é reconhecida por uma acentuada diversidade cariotípica, reflexo de sua elevada taxa de evolução cromossômica. Os cervídeos neotropicais do gênero Mazama destacam-se por um expressivo polimorfismo cromossômico. Embora as espécies desse

"Osmetrichia" in the grey brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira).

open access: yesBiocell : official journal of the Sociedades Latinoamericanas de Microscopia Electronica ... et. al, 2000
Osmetrichia have been defined as hairs specialized in the storage of secretions used in olfactory communication between conspecifics (Müller-Schwarze, et al. 1977). These authors found highly specialized osmetrichia in the tarsal gland tufts of black-tailed but not white-tailed deer.

Combining camera trap surveys and IUCN range maps to improve knowledge of species distributions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) range maps are widely recognized as authoritative representations of species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area of habitat (AOH)
