Wildfires disproportionately affected jaguars in the Pantanal [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2022 Abstract The Pantanal wetland harbours the second largest population of jaguars in the world. Alongside climate and land-use changes, the recent mega-fires in the Pantanal may pose a threat to the jaguars’ long-term survival. To put these growing threats into perspective, we addressed the reach and intensity of fires that have ...

The Seroprevalence of Equine Trypanosomosis in the Pantanal [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999 Since little information is available on the epizootiological status of Trypanosoma evansi in South America and particularly Brazil, we evaluated equine serum samples collected in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1997 for the presence of antibodies against this trypanosome species. Our study shows corroborative evidence about the correlation among high T.

A conservation agenda for the Pantanal's biodiversity [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2011 The Pantanal's biodiversity constitutes a valuable natural resource, in economic, cultural, recreational, aesthetic, scientific and educational terms. The vegetation plus the seasonal productivity support a diverse and abundant fauna. Many endangered species occur in the region, and waterfowl are exceptionally abundant during the dry season.

Plant diversity of the Pantanal wetland [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2011 This is a review of current studies in diversity of the flora and main vegetation types in the Brazilian Pantanal. The flora of this wetland, nearly 2,000 species, constitutes a pool of elements of wide distribution and from more or less adjacent phytogeographic provinces, such as Cerrado, dry seasonal forests, Chaco, Amazonia and Atlantic Forest.

Terrestrial and aquatic mammals of the Pantanal [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2011 Different works have registered the number of mammal species within the natural habitats of the Pantanal based on currently known records, with species richness ranging from 89 to 152 of annotated occurrences. Our present list sums 174 species. However, at least three factors have to be emphasised to deal with recorded numbers: 1) to establish the ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Spatial sampling bias in occurrence data can generate spurious environmental associations in models of species distributions and ecological niches, and can also undermine inferences based on permutation tests made using these models. Geographic randomization tests are often used to generate distributions of expected behavior under the null hypothesis ...
