Selective impacts of subsistence hunting on mammal communities in Manu National Park, Peru

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 5, September 2024.
We analyzed change in species relative abundance and functional composition of mammal communities, including non‐hunted species, along a hunting pressure gradient and included potential confounding environmental and disturbance gradients (distances to rivers, lakes, settlements, and trails; NDVI at survey point).

Animais silvestres utilizados como recurso alimentar em assentamentos rurais no município de Uruará, Pará, Brasil

Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente, 2015
The consumption of hunting animals is of fundamental importance for human subsistence in different tropical areas. Knowing the chosen species, the techniques of capture and the quantity are fundamental aspects to understand how to use and the degree of ...

New Records of Giant ArmadilloPriodontes maximus(Cingulata: Dasypodidae) at Serra do Amolar, Pantanal of Brazil [PDF]

Edentata, 2012
Abstract The giant armadillo is one of the least studied South American mammals. It is classified as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and subsistence hunting. This species has been recorded at several sites within the Pantanal biome of Brazil. We aimed to confirm the species presence in Serra do Amolar, in the western border of the Pantanal. Using camera

Big data, big problems? How to circumvent problems in biodiversity mapping and ensure meaningful results

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 8, August 2024.
Our knowledge of biodiversity hinges on sufficient data, reliable methods, and realistic models. Without an accurate assessment of species distributions, we cannot effectively target and stem biodiversity loss. Species range maps are the foundation of such efforts, but countless studies have failed to account for the most basic assumptions of reliable ...

Neotropical mammal responses to megafires in the Brazilian Pantanal

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.
We investigated how forest fires in the Brazilian Pantanal affected the occupancy of eight mammals and the density of jaguars and ocelots. We found that occupancy or habitat use declined for six of the species, with the giant armadillo being the most affected species, and the density of jaguars and ocelots remained stable, though the persistence of ...

Using Remote Sensing and Random Forest to Assess the Conservation Status of Critical Cerrado Habitats in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Land, 2016
Brazil’s Cerrado is a highly diverse ecosystem and it provides critical habitat for many species. Cerrado habitats have suffered significant degradation and decline over the past decades due to expansion of cash crops and livestock farming across South ...

Conservation detection dogs: A critical review of efficacy and methodology

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
Conservation detection dogs (CDD) can be effective and applied to possibly limitless conservation scenarios but moving forward researchers must provide more consistent and detailed methodologies so that comparisons can be conducted, results are more easily replicated and progress can be made in standardising CDD work. This review aims to summarise what

NEW DATA ON THE REPRODUCTIVE LIFESPAN OF GIANT ARMADILLOS (PRIODONTES MAXIMUS) IN THE WILD

Oecologia Australis
The reproductive lifespan of a species is a key parameter used in a multitude of ecological analyses and conservation status assessments. A long-term study on giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) in the Brazilian Pantanal using camera traps demonstrated that a female had a pup when she was at least 20 years old.

Environmental and Anthropogenic Predictors Influence the Diversity of Nonflying Mammals in a Native Savanna Landscape of Northern South America

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The native savannas of eastern Colombia cover about six percent of the Neotropical savannas. Within these 17 million hectares, the current composition of nonflying mammals evidenced colonization from Andean, Guyanese, and Amazonian speciation centers and endemism processes.
