Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.We found rich and compositionally different assemblages of medium and large‐sized mammals in protected areas on the southern edge of Amazon. However, both have high rates of mammal defaunation. We argue that anthropogenic threats in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation are eroding large ungulate populations, especially peccaries.

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 56-63, June 2025.The Serra do Amolar, located in the Brazilian Pantanal, is a crucial but understudied area for biodiversity conservation. Through camera traps, we recorded 29 mammal species, including three rodent species documented for the first time in the area: Cavia aperea, Cuniculus paca, and Holochilus chacarius.

Onças subterrâneas: primeiro registro de uma onça-pintada (Panthera onca) usando uma toca de tatu-canastra (Priodontes maximus) [PDF]
There are several behavioral adaptations used by mammals to reduce the metabolic costs of preventing homeostasis disruption caused by excessive heat, such as seek shaded places. Burrows are great thermal refuges that provide buffered cooler microclimates.

Selective impacts of subsistence hunting on mammal communities in Manu National Park, Peru
Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 5, September 2024.We analyzed change in species relative abundance and functional composition of mammal communities, including non‐hunted species, along a hunting pressure gradient and included potential confounding environmental and disturbance gradients (distances to rivers, lakes, settlements, and trails; NDVI at survey point).
