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.

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.
