Terrestrial mammals are a key component of tropical forest communities as indicators ecosystem health and providers important services. However, there is little quantitative information about how they change with local, regional global threats. In this paper, the first standardized pantropical terrestrial mammal community study, we examine several aspects species diversity (species richness, diversity, evenness, dominance, functional structure) at seven sites around globe using single camera...
Extinction rates in the Anthropocene are three orders of magnitude higher than background and disproportionately occur tropics, home half world's species. Despite global efforts to combat tropical species extinctions, lack high-quality, objective information on biodiversity has hampered quantitative evaluation conservation strategies. In particular, scarcity population-level monitoring forests stymied assessment outcomes, such as status trends animal populations protected areas. Here, we...
Abstract Aim Large tropical trees form the interface between ground and airborne observations, offering a unique opportunity to capture forest properties remotely investigate their variations on broad scales. However, despite rapid development of metrics characterize canopy from sensed data, gap remains aerial field inventories. To close this gap, we propose new pan‐tropical model predict plot‐level structure biomass only largest trees. Location Pan‐tropical. Time period Early 21st century....
Abstract The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across published, peer‐reviewed, gray literature in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales time space. In this study, we organized standardized camera trap records from regions compile most extensive data set inventories mammal, bird, reptile species ever...
Neotropical ungulates favour undisturbed habitats. Forest conversion to agriculture is the main driver of contraction tropical large mammal distributions. In Amazon, although Protected Areas (PAs) effectively reduce forest loss, deforested area has been growing within their boundaries in recent decades. Here, we aimed study variations ungulate distribution inside and outside PAs Amazonian lowlands over last decade. We used data on presence, climate landscape predict species presence absence...
