Prevalence of Mycobacterium leprae in armadillos in Brazil: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Understanding the prevalence of M. leprae infection in armadillos is important because of evidence from Brazil and other countries of an association between contact with armadillos and the development of Hansen's Disease (leprosy).

Impact of ecotourism on abundance, diversity and activity patterns of medium-large terrestrial mammals at Brownsberg Nature Park, Suriname. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 The impacts of ecotourism on biodiversity are poorly understood and the outcome of this type of research is often contradictory. On the one hand ecotourism could impact the occurrence, survival or behavior of species, on the other hand ecotourism is ...

High school students' knowledge of endangered fauna in the Brazilian Cerrado: A cross-species and spatial analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The ability of high school students to know endangered species can vary among species (e.g., large body size can influence people's interest) or among municipalities (e.g., more contact with biodiversity can influence people's interest).

Divergence Across Niche Dimensions Reveals Species' Ecological Roles. [PDF]
Ecol LettNatural history gaps hinder our understanding of species' ecological roles and their contributions to ecosystem processes. Using an integrative framework, we analysed multiple niche dimensions of co‐occurring xenarthran insectivores, revealing divergent trophic, spatial and temporal patterns that reflect distinct ecological roles. Our results challenge

Fecal DNA Identifies a Disjunct Population of an Endemic Deer (Mazama jucunda) From the Atlantic Forest, Brazil. [PDF]
Anim GenetABSTRACT Limited knowledge of brocket deer distribution persists due to their elusive behavior and the morphological similarities among species. A population of red brocket deer (genus Mazama) was recently discovered in the Rio Doce State Park (PERD), a protected area within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest; however, species‐level identification was ...

Fleas and lesions in armadillo osteoderms. [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 Study of lesions caused by flea's ‘bites’ in the bones on the backs of armadillos show that they are actually made by the host's own osteoclasts, not by the flea's own masticatory apparatus. Panels (a, c, e) are reconstructions from high‐contrast resolution X‐Ray Microtomography and (b, d, f) backscattered electron mode scanning electron microscopy ...
