Resistance to antibiotics of clinical relevance in the fecal microbiota of Mexican wildlife. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There are a growing number of reports of antibiotic resistance (ATBR) in bacteria living in wildlife. This is a cause for concern as ATBR in wildlife represents a potential public health threat.

Medium and large-sized mammals in an Atlantic Forest fragment of Brazil: recording of threatened species

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2019
Deforestation and habitat fragmentation affect to a great extent larger wild mammals, which require large areas to establish their populations.  These mammals can have important functions in the structure and dynamics of tropical forests, acting as seed ...

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

Prey availability and temporal partitioning modulate felid coexistence in Neotropical forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Carnivores have long been used as model organisms to examine mechanisms that allow coexistence among ecologically similar species. Interactions between carnivores, including competition and predation, comprise important processes regulating local ...

When Calves Get Vulnerable, Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) Get Bold: A Camera Trap Record of Opportunistic Foraging in a Fragmented Landscape

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We report the first confirmed record of an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) dragging a newborn calf in a degraded forest fragment of southeastern Brazil. Using camera trap records, we reveal an opportunistic foraging event involving a vulnerable domestic prey within a highly fragmented landscape.
