Cats under cover : habitat models indicate a high dependency on woodlands by Atlantic Forest felids
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, 2019-03-01)
Four Neotropical small and medium felids—the ocelot, jaguarundi, margay, and southern tiger cat—have overlapping geographic distributions in the endangered Atlantic Forest. Local studies show that these felids avoid areas ...
Tree monocultures in a biodiversity hotspot : impact of pine plantations on mammal and bird assemblages in the Atlantic Forest
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)
Forest plantations of fast-growing exotic species constitute an important economic activity in tropical and temperate regions of developing countries. Large areas of native forests and grasslands are being turned into tree ...
Neotropical xenarthrans : a dataset of occurrence of xenarthran species in the neotropics
(Ecological Society of America, 2019-07-01)
Xenarthrans -anteaters, sloths, and armadillos- have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and ...
Barriers, corridors or suitable habitat? effect of monoculture tree plantations on the habitat use and prey availability for jaguars and pumas in the Atlantic Forest
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)
Large carnivores are key elements of natural ecosystems and most of them are declining due to the impacts of human activities. Jaguars and pumas are the largest felids of the American continent, and particularly jaguars ...
Atlantic-Camtraps: a dataset of medium and large terrestrial mammal communities in the Atlantic Forest of South America
(Ecological Society of America, 2017-08-01)
Our understanding of mammal ecology has always been hindered by the difficulties of observing species in closed tropical forests. Camera trapping has become a major advance for monitoring terrestrial mammals in biodiversity ...
Assessing global patterns in mammalian carnivore occupancy and richness by integrating local camera trap surveys
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-06-23)
Biodiversity loss is a major driver of ecosystem change, yet the ecological data required to detect and mitigate losses are often lacking. Recently, camera trap surveys have been suggested as a method for sampling local ...
Relevamiento del conflicto entre productores forestales y primates en la provincia de Misiones
(Universidad Nacional de Misiones. Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, 2019-10-17)
El Bosque Atlántico de Misiones ha registrado episodios de conflicto entre monos caí (Sapajus nigritus) y productores forestales de pino (Pinus spp.) desde hace más de 20 años (Liebsch & Mikich, 2015). Los monos quitan la ...
¿Cómo mitigar el daño producido por primates que descortezan árboles en plantaciones forestales?
(Universidad Nacional de Misiones. Facultad de Ciencias Forestales. Secretaría de Ciencia, Técnica y Posgrado, 2019-10-17)
Los primates pueden descortezar árboles en plantaciones para consumir floema y sabia elaborada (Di Bitetti 2019). El mono caí, Sapajus nigritus , descorteza pinos en Brasil y en Misiones, Argentina. No se han implementado ...
