Molecular identification of Mazama species (Cervidae: Artiodactyla) from natural history collections [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Natural history museum collections constitute an invaluable patrimony of biological diversity for analysing the taxa distribution and evolution. However, it is very common to discover taxonomic misidentification in museum collections based on incorrect ...

Implications of unreliable species identification methods for Neotropical deer conservation planning
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Abstract Deer species play a key role in processes that maintain ecosystem community structure and composition. However, several of the species are considered at risk of extinction. One of the strategies for their conservation is the maintenance of legally protected areas in which administration is prescribed by a management plan. Species inventories

Low accuracy of identifying Neotropical deer species by scat morphology [PDF]
Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 2016 ABSTRACTMorphometric feces data are used to identify ungulates, but their effectiveness is questioned by numerous authors. Herein, we evaluated the efficiency of this tool in discriminating scat samples from Neotropical deer with sympatric distributions. We performed discriminant analysis of previously identified scat samples (n = 204). The accuracy of

An Ecomorphological Approach to Craniomandibular Integration in Neotropical Deer
Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2020 South American cervids have a relatively recent evolutionary history in the Neotropics. Present taxonomical richness includes six genera and 17 species grouped in at least two clades, Blastocerina and Odocoileina. With few exceptions, functional morphology or ecomorphological approaches have not been rigorously applied to the masticatory apparatus of ...

Large- and medium-bodied terrestrial mammals of the Upper Berbice region of Guyana [PDF]
Check List, 2020 Large mammals are key contributors to forest ecosystems globally, but Neotropical mammal populations are understudied. We employed remotely triggered camera traps and track surveys to assess the mammal community in the newly accessible upper Berbice ...
