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.

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.

Documentación de la presencia de Cuatro Especies de Felinos Silvestres en El Salvador

Revista Minerva
En El Salvador el estudio de felinos históricamente estaba basado en evidencia indirecta (rastros, huellas, excretas, pelos), con el uso de nuevas tecnologías como las cámaras trampa, se ha logrado documentar de manera esporádica algunas tomas ...

Feeding of small Neotropical felids (Felidae: Carnivora) and trophic niche overlap in anthropized mosaic landscape of South Brazil

Biotemas, 2015
Understanding the diversity of a community and its dynamics is especially important in altered habitats such as agricultural fields, where this information can help biodiversity conservation programs.

Regional evolutionary distinctiveness and endangerment as a means of prioritizing protection of endangered species [PDF]

, 2015
Conservation is costly, and choices must be made about where to best allocate limited resources. I propose a regional evolutionary diversity and endangerment (RED-E) approach to prioritization of endangered species.

Surviving in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation: Richness and Defaunation of Mammals in Priority‐Protected Areas of the Brazilian Midwest

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
We found rich and compositionally different assemblages of medium and large‐sized mammals in protected areas on the southern edge of Amazon. However, both have high rates of mammal defaunation. We argue that anthropogenic threats in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation are eroding large ungulate populations, especially peccaries.

Joint ecological, geographical and cultural approach to identify territories of opportunity for large vertebrates conservation in Mexico [PDF]

, 2017
The objective of the present paper is to provide a holistic framework to delineate ‘‘territories of opportunity’’ where agrarian communities can manage areas to enhance the conservation of large vertebrates.

Diversity and Activity Pattern of Terrestrial Mammal Species in Serra do Amolar, Brazilian Pantanal 巴西潘塔纳尔湿地阿莫拉尔山脉陆生哺乳动物物种的多样性及活动模式

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 56-63, June 2025.
The Serra do Amolar, located in the Brazilian Pantanal, is a crucial but understudied area for biodiversity conservation. Through camera traps, we recorded 29 mammal species, including three rodent species documented for the first time in the area: Cavia aperea, Cuniculus paca, and Holochilus chacarius.
