Mazama tschudii (Wagner, 1855), forgotten by science, re-emerges as a new genetic lineage of Neotropical deer with a proposed neotype (Artiodactyla, Cervidae) [PDF]
The accurate classification of Neotropical deer is essential for effective conservation strategies; however, many species within the genus Mazama remain taxonomically unresolved due to morphological similarities and historical uncertainties.

Gross Anatomy and Approach to the Humerus and Femur in the White-Eared Opossum (Didelphis albiventris). [PDF]
ABSTRACT The white‐eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) is a Neotropical marsupial that readily adapts to urban environments. Due to its presence in anthropogenic habitats, this species is frequently exposed to vehicle collisions and dog attacks. Such trauma often results in long bone fractures, with humeral and femoral fractures being common in ...

Revalidation of Passalites Gloger, 1841 for the Amazon brown brocket deer P. nemorivagus (Cuvier, 1817) (Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Cervidae) [PDF]
Mazama nemorivaga (Cuvier, 1817) is a gray brocket deer that inhabits the Amazon region. An assessment of previous studies revealed inconsistencies in its current taxonomic classification, suggesting the need for an update in its genus classification.

Neo-X-Linked Chromosome Polymorphism: Cytogenetic Insights from Passalites nemorivagus (Mammalia, Cervidae) [PDF]
Chromosomal instability plays a significant role in karyotype evolution and speciation in mammalian groups with notable intraspecific chromosomal variation. The Cervidae family, known for its rapid karyotypic evolution due to chromosomal fragility, shows

Unveiling the Dietary Selection of Lowland Tapirs (<i>Tapirus terrestris</i>) in a Tropical Rainforest. [PDF]
Large terrestrial herbivores, such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) present many dietary ecological roles in their habitat. In this article, we investigated the diet of lowland tapirs in a tropical rainforest combining different techniques such as DNA metabarcoding, fieldwork, and plant functional traits.
