Observations on the Diet of the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus Kerr, 1792) [PDF]
Edentata, 2013 Abstract In this short note we report on the stomach contents of a giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) in the Bolivian Amazon. The stomach exclusively contained seeds of a relatively large-seeded unknown species of fig (Ficus sp.). Subsequent observations under fruiting Ficus free-standing trees at a second location in eastern Bolivia further ...

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).

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]
, 2016 Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Ecology of the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus) in the Grasslands of Central Brazil [PDF]
Edentata, 2009 Abstract The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is the largest armadillo and is considered at risk of extinction by IUCN. Due to its fossorial and highly cryptic nature, it is also one of the least-studied mammals. The Cerrado grassland-savannahs of central South America comprises approximately 25 percent of the species' range, and the 1320 km2 Emas ...

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 8, August 2024.Our knowledge of biodiversity hinges on sufficient data, reliable methods, and realistic models. Without an accurate assessment of species distributions, we cannot effectively target and stem biodiversity loss. Species range maps are the foundation of such efforts, but countless studies have failed to account for the most basic assumptions of reliable ...
