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

Biotropica, 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.

Fallen Logs Act as Natural Bridges Over Rivers in a Tropical Wet Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
We studied how vertebrate species used logs as bridges over rivers in a tropical rainforest. Most mammals present in the area used logs, but the frequency and probability of crossing varied widely among species, between seasons, and in relation to the dimensions of the log and the river below.

Camera traps as a tool for Carnivore conservation in a mosaic of Protected Areas in the Pantanal wetlands, Brazil

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2018
Although known globally for its biodiversity, only around 5% of the Brazilian Pantanal is protected. The Network for Protection and Conservation of Amolar Mountain Ridge is an informal initiative that legally protects over 2000 km2 of the Pantanal biome.

Mammals with large home ranges, low reproductive rates and small body sizes are most vulnerable to roads: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3227-3239, December 2025.
Road mitigation for mammals should ideally be informed by site‐level knowledge and generally involve prioritizing species with the combination of larger home ranges, lower reproductive rates and smaller body sizes. To protect these vulnerable mammals from roads, we should maintain low road densities and instal small‐mesh mitigation fencing along roads.

Is it possible to identify four small Neotropical felids (Carnivora: Felidae) based on hair microstructure?

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2015
The microscopic characters of the hair can be used to indirectly identify species that are either uncommon or are difficult to see, for instance small Neotropical felids of the southern Brazilian Atlantic Forests.

Prey availability and temporal partitioning modulate felid coexistence in Neotropical forests.

PLoS ONE, 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 ...
