Social media videos highlight the impacts of the illegal use of snares on Brazilian biodiversity
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2811-2820, November 2025.Abstract Snares are one of the most used types of non‐selective traps for hunting worldwide, though their use is prohibited in many countries, including Brazil. Indiscriminate and unmonitored use of snares can induce serious conservation problems, particularly in megadiverse countries where higher species richness and diversity mean that the ...

Contrasting evidence of phylogenetic trophic niche conservatism in mammals worldwide [PDF]
, 2017 Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC), a pattern of closely related species retaining ancestral niche-related traits over evolutionary time, is well documented for abiotic (Grinellian) dimensions of the ecological niche.

The Potential for Subordinate Predator Release in Terrestrial Mammalian Carnivore Assemblages
Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 4, October 2025.Results from the literature review showed that the potential for release is not strictly size‐based and could occur between pairs not usually considered ‘apex’ or ‘meso’ There was equal representation of felids and canids as dominant predators, but subordinate predators were more commonly canids. ABSTRACT Mesopredator release occurs when the decline of

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.Feral cats (Felis catus) have spread across Australia over the past 200 years, displaying various coat types, yet it remains unknown if any offers an adaptive advantage. Using a dataset of 24,657 camera‐trap images, we examined if any coat types correlate with spatial or temporal features.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 19, Page 9779-9792, October 2018., 2018 Focusing on co‐occurring domestic and wild felids, we evaluate evidence of spillover and mechanisms of transmission for an erythrocytic bacterial parasite of cats. We undertake analyses of disease prevalence, transmission modeling, pathogen genotyping based on sequences of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene, and phylogenetic analysis with ancestral state ...

Biodiversidade do Pantanal : resposta ao regime sazonal de enchente e à degradação ambiental [PDF]
, 2008 Inundação sazonal é o fenômeno ecológico mais importante do Pantanal. A cada ano, grandes regiões do bioma mudam de hábitats aquáticos para terrestres e vice-versa. As cheias ocupam cerca de 80% do Pantanal. Em contraste, durante a estiagem, grande parte

Natural selection of melanism in jaguar and oncilla in Costa Rica
, 2021 Introducción: La persistencia de los polimorfismos del color del pelaje, como la coexistencia del color del pelaje melánico (negro) y el "tipo salvaje" (manchado), es un enigma evolutivo. Objetivo: Probamos las predicciones de la Regla de Gloger y la hipótesis de la Segregación Temporal que proponen que los individuos melánicos (a) ocurrirán con mayor ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract Aim Planning conservation action requires accurate estimates of abundance and distribution of the target species. For many mammals, particularly those inhabiting tropical forests, there are insufficient data to assess their conservation status.
