Species distribution model reveals only highly fragmented suitable patches remaining for giant armadillo in the Brazilian Cerrado

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The potential distribution of a cryptic, naturally rare large mammal, the giant armadillo Priodontes maximus, was explored in fragments of Cerrado and Atlantic Forest in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (259,641 km2) Brazil.

Large- and medium-bodied terrestrial mammals of the Upper Berbice region of Guyana [PDF]

Check List, 2020
Large mammals are key contributors to forest ecosystems globally, but Neotropical mammal populations are understudied. We employed remotely triggered camera traps and track surveys to assess the mammal community in the newly accessible upper Berbice ...

Priodontes maximus(Cingulata: Chlamyphoridae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2016
Priodontes maximus ([Kerr, 1792][1]), called the giant armadillo, is monotypic and by far the largest extant armadillo. Average adult weight is about 30kg (in captivity, as high as 80kg). Its carapace extends about halfway down its sides, making it impossible to curl up tightly.

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.

The local extinction of one of the greatest terrestrial ecosystem engineers, the giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus), in one of its last refuges in the Atlantic Forest, will be felt by a large vertebrate community

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Priodontes maximus is the largest living armadillo and is at risk of extinction. The species ranges throughout South America and one of its last refuges in the entire Atlantic Forest is a reserve complex called Sooretama. We investigated the conservation

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...
