Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1526-1541, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Macroecological studies that require habitat suitability data for many species often derive this information from expert opinion. However, expert‐based information is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. The increasing availability of GPS tracking data offers opportunities to evaluate and supplement expert‐based information with

Local abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around indigenous villages in Suriname
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Hunting is an important threat to tropical wildlife, yet many people are dependent on forest fauna for protein provisioning. We analyzed abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around four indigenous villages in the south of Suriname, using camera trap data and the Royle–Nichols abundance model.

Large and medium-sized mammals of the Humaitá Forest Reserve, southwestern Amazonia, state of Acre, Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2012 Large and medium-sized mammals are essential to forest ecosystems as they are responsible for prey population control, seed dispersal and predation. A mammal survey was conducted in the Humaitá Forest Reserve (HFR), a 20 km² forest fragment located in ...

An ecoregion‐based approach to restoring the world's intact large mammal assemblages
Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Assemblages of large mammal species play a disproportionate role in the structure and composition of natural habitats. Loss of these assemblages destabilizes natural systems, while their recovery can restore ecological integrity. Here we take an ecoregion‐based approach to identify landscapes that retain their historically present large mammal ...

Effects of reduced-impact logging on medium and large-bodied forest vertebrates in eastern Amazonia [PDF]
, 2015 Standard line-transect census techniques were deployed to generate a checklist and quantify the abundance of medium and large-bodied vertebrate species in forest areas of eastern Amazonia with and without a history of reduced-impact logging (RIL).
