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 ...

Evaluating expert‐based habitat suitability information of terrestrial mammals with GPS‐tracking data

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1526-1541, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Macroecological studies that require habitat suitability data for many species often derive this information from expert opinion. However, expert‐based information is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. The increasing availability of GPS tracking data offers opportunities to evaluate and supplement expert‐based information with

Local abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around indigenous villages in Suriname

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Hunting is an important threat to tropical wildlife, yet many people are dependent on forest fauna for protein provisioning. We analyzed abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around four indigenous villages in the south of Suriname, using camera trap data and the Royle–Nichols abundance model.

Observations on the Diet of the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus Kerr, 1792) [PDF]

Edentata, 2013
Abstract In this short note we report on the stomach contents of a giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) in the Bolivian Amazon. The stomach exclusively contained seeds of a relatively large-seeded unknown species of fig (Ficus sp.). Subsequent observations under fruiting Ficus free-standing trees at a second location in eastern Bolivia further ...

Ecology of the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus) in the Grasslands of Central Brazil [PDF]

Edentata, 2009
Abstract The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is the largest armadillo and is considered at risk of extinction by IUCN. Due to its fossorial and highly cryptic nature, it is also one of the least-studied mammals. The Cerrado grassland-savannahs of central South America comprises approximately 25 percent of the species' range, and the 1320 km2 Emas ...
