Size and Orientation of Giant Armadillo Burrow Entrances (Priodontes maximus) in Western Formosa Province, Argentina [PDF]

Edentata, 2012
Abstract Giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) are one of the most endangered mammals in the Gran Chaco. They are largely nocturnal, highly fossorial and solitary, characteristics that have limited the understanding of their behavior and ecology. We report on the results of a study of the structure of 32 giant armadillo burrows in 25,000 ha of semi ...

When the giant rests: Evidence of prolonged inactivity in the giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) of the Pantanal

Xenarthra
We documented prolonged inactivity (12 consecutive days), an uncommon behavior, in a giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) in the Pantanal. Unlike previous observations in the Amazon, there was no internal activity or alternative exits, suggesting ...

High school students' knowledge of endangered fauna in the Brazilian Cerrado: A cross-species and spatial analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
The ability of high school students to know endangered species can vary among species (e.g., large body size can influence people's interest) or among municipalities (e.g., more contact with biodiversity can influence people's interest).

Divergence Across Niche Dimensions Reveals Species' Ecological Roles. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Natural history gaps hinder our understanding of species' ecological roles and their contributions to ecosystem processes. Using an integrative framework, we analysed multiple niche dimensions of co‐occurring xenarthran insectivores, revealing divergent trophic, spatial and temporal patterns that reflect distinct ecological roles. Our results challenge

Fecal DNA Identifies a Disjunct Population of an Endemic Deer (Mazama jucunda) From the Atlantic Forest, Brazil. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Limited knowledge of brocket deer distribution persists due to their elusive behavior and the morphological similarities among species. A population of red brocket deer (genus Mazama) was recently discovered in the Rio Doce State Park (PERD), a protected area within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest; however, species‐level identification was ...
