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).

Onças subterrâneas: primeiro registro de uma onça-pintada (Panthera onca) usando uma toca de tatu-canastra (Priodontes maximus) [PDF]

Notas sobre Mamíferos Sudamericanos
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.
