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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
