Big data, big problems? How to circumvent problems in biodiversity mapping and ensure meaningful results

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 ...

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.

Neotropical mammal responses to megafires in the Brazilian Pantanal

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.
We investigated how forest fires in the Brazilian Pantanal affected the occupancy of eight mammals and the density of jaguars and ocelots. We found that occupancy or habitat use declined for six of the species, with the giant armadillo being the most affected species, and the density of jaguars and ocelots remained stable, though the persistence of ...

Conservation detection dogs: A critical review of efficacy and methodology

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
Conservation detection dogs (CDD) can be effective and applied to possibly limitless conservation scenarios but moving forward researchers must provide more consistent and detailed methodologies so that comparisons can be conducted, results are more easily replicated and progress can be made in standardising CDD work. This review aims to summarise what

Environmental and Anthropogenic Predictors Influence the Diversity of Nonflying Mammals in a Native Savanna Landscape of Northern South America

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The native savannas of eastern Colombia cover about six percent of the Neotropical savannas. Within these 17 million hectares, the current composition of nonflying mammals evidenced colonization from Andean, Guyanese, and Amazonian speciation centers and endemism processes.
