Effects of reduced-impact logging on medium and large-bodied forest vertebrates in eastern Amazonia [PDF]

, 2015
Standard line-transect census techniques were deployed to generate a checklist and quantify the abundance of medium and large-bodied vertebrate species in forest areas of eastern Amazonia with and without a history of reduced-impact logging (RIL).

Hotspots and Season Related to Wildlife Roadkill in the Amazonia–Cerrado Transition

Diversity, 2022
The construction of new roads opens access to native environments, resulting in changes to the landscape. These roads cause the death of native wildlife due to collisions with vehicles, which is the main cause of human-induced vertebrate death. This work

Thresholds of riparian forest use by terrestrial mammals in a fragmented Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]

, 2018
Species persistence in fragmented landscapes is intimately related to the quality, structure, and context of remaining habitat remnants. Riparian vegetation is legally protected within private landholdings in Brazil, so we quantitatively assessed ...

Diversidad y variación de estructuras en la coraza dorsal del armadillo gigante Priodontes maximus (Kerr, 1792) y su potencial uso para la identificación de individuos [PDF]

, 2021
Dorsal carapace and osteoderm morphological features have traditionally been widely used inboth extinct and extant armadillo systematics. However, the intraspecific variability at the carapace level represents a little studied aspect.

Shotgun Mitogenomics Provides a Reference Phylogenetic Framework and Timescale for Living Xenarthrans [PDF]

, 2015
Xenarthra (armadillos, sloths, and anteaters) constitutes one of the four major clades of placental mammals. Despite their phylogenetic distinctiveness in mammals, a reference phylogeny is still lacking for the 31 described species. Here we used Illumina

Terrestrial mammal responses to habitat structure and quality of remnant riparian forests in an Amazonian cattle-ranching landscape [PDF]

, 2017
Extensive 1970–2010 deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has generated a ~ 1.5 Mha fragmented region known as the ‘arc of deforestation’. Farmers and cattle ranchers throughout Brazil are legally required to set-aside riparian forest strips within their

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 ...

Spatial ecology of the giant armadillo Priodontes maximus in Midwestern Brazil

Journal of Mammalogy, 2019
AbstractThe giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is the largest living armadillo. This naturally rare and poorly known species is endemic to South America and classified as “Vulnerable” by the IUCN. Here we explored aspects of the spatial ecology of P.
