Biologging as an important tool to uncover behaviors of cryptic species: an analysis of giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Advances in biologging have increased the understanding of how animals interact with their environment, especially for cryptic species. For example, giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) are the largest extant species of armadillo but are rarely ...

Using a Conflict Framework Analysis to Help Beekeepers and Giant Armadillos (Priodontes maximus) Coexist [PDF]

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
Damage caused by wildlife is one reason preventing peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife. To identify the complexity and scope of human-wildlife interactions and to guide conservation interventions, a theoretical framework has been recently ...

Research Questions on the Behavior and Ecology of the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus) [PDF]

Edentata, 2006
Between 1972 and 1982, five giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) resided for varying periods in an off-exhibit area at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois. They included three males which came from Guyana and two females from Bolivia, all received as wild-caught young adults.

Records of the giant-armadillo Priodontes maximus (Cingulata: Dasypodidae) in the Atlantic Forest: are Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo the last strongholds of the species?

Zoologia, 2009
We report 20 records of Priodontes maximus (Kerr, 1792) collected between 1990 and 2009 in three nature reserves located in forested areas of southeastern Brazil within the Atlantic Forest biome. Seventeen records were collected in Parque Estadual do Rio

First recorded birth of a giant armadillo (<i>Priodontes maximus</i>) under human care and notes on fetal characteristics and neonatal care. [PDF]

Braz J Vet Med
Information on breeding under human care is essential for conservation efforts, particularly for endangered species such as the giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus). Key aspects of its reproductive biology, such as neonate size, weight, and early development, remain largely undocumented. This study presents two case reports of P.

Population density, activity patterns, and ecological importance of giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) in Colombia [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2017
The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is the largest extant armadillo species. This rare, cryptic, and poorly studied South American mammal is considered a physical ecosystem engineer. From February to August 2014, 10 camera traps were used to estimate population density, activity patterns, and the ecological importance of giant armadillos on ...

Environmental factors influencing the abundance of four species of threatened mammals in degraded habitats in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
On the latest 60 years the degradation and fragmentation of native habitats have been modifying the landscape in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. The adaptive plasticity of an organism has been crucial for its long-term survival and success in these novel ...
