Olfactory communication among mammals remains poorly studied yet may be key to understanding their ecology. This is particularly true for mammalian carnivores, which rely extensively on scent marking communication. Previous research suggests that carnivore latrines play a large role in both intra- and interspecific Despite the apparent complexity of mammal use latrines, little work has examined behavior patterns species visit latrines. We used motion-triggered video cameras study at ocelot...
Abstract International political boundaries challenge species conservation because they can hinder coordinated management. Peripheral transboundary species, those with a large portion of their range in one country and small, peripheral an adjacent country, may be particularly vulnerable to mismatches management populations are likely greater need than core populations. However, no systematic assessment or status across borders has been attempted. We show that numerous three vertebrate taxa...
Abstracts Aim The scales of space and time over which biotic interactions influence distribution patterns remain an area debate. Biotic may be particularly influential in the ecology mammalian carnivores, engage strong predator–prey competitive interactions. Regional, multi‐scale data on interacting carnivore species are key to informing our understanding this issue. Location Washington State, USA. Methods Using a spatially extensive camera‐trapping array, we examined factors influencing...
Abstract The application of species distribution models (SDMs) to areas outside where a model was created allows informed decisions across large spatial scales, yet transferability remains challenge in ecological modeling. We examined how regional variation animal‐environment relationships influenced for Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis ), with an additional conservation aim modeling habitat the northwestern United States. Simultaneously, we explored effect sample size from GPS data on SDM...
ABSTRACT Populations of species located at southern range edges may be particularly vulnerable to the effects climate change as warming temperatures and subsequent changes ecosystems exceed species‐specific tolerances. One such is Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis ), a cold‐adapted mesocarnivore that maintains large core population in Alaska, USA, but exists within several peripheral populations contiguous United States. Increases temperature, declines snow pack, climate‐influenced increases...
Abstract The synergistic effects of climate change, wildfires, fire suppression, and past forest management are challenging efforts to protect recover Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis ) in the North Cascades Washington, USA. is a threatened species United States focal used gain insights into structure function boreal ecosystems. To understand how multiple stressors influencing populations we developed spatially explicit carrying capacity model HexSim using local data on resource selection life...
Interspecies foraging associations occur in a wide variety of vertebrate taxa and are maintained through gains efficiency (or) predator avoidance. Despite their advantages, often variable space time benefits may not accrue equally to all participants. In mammals, interspecies between solitary mammalian carnivores rare. Coyotes (Canis latrans Say, 1823) American badgers (Taxidea taxus (Schreber, 1777)) occasionally form hunting pursuit ground squirrels (Spermophilus armatus Kennicott, 1863),...
Abstract Aim Planning conservation action requires accurate estimates of abundance and distribution the target species. For many mammals, particularly those inhabiting tropical forests, there are insufficient data to assess their status. We present a framework for predicting species using jaguarundi ( Herpailurus yagouaroundi ), poorly known felid which basic information on is lacking. Location Mesoamerica South America. Time Period From 2003 2021. Taxa yagouaroundi. Methods combined...
During a November 2021 to January 2022 camera trap survey in the core zone of Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve, Honduras, we detected first instance verified reproduction giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) for northern Central America.As part permanent monitoring program using stations, an adult female with offspring was recorded at Wuarska site Colón department (northern Honduras).Our detection represents northernmost record anteaters and provides evidence importance site, which is...
The Xenarthra are one of the least studied mammalian groups in Honduras.Their ecology, natural history, and distribution country poorly known.Here we compile discuss, for first time, available information about seven species that occur Honduras.We also present new records comment on their main threats.The lack specific scientific studies, poaching, illegal traffic, cultural beliefs, deforestation among threats to xenarthrans Honduras.
The family Polychrotidae Fitzinger, 1843 is represented in Honduras by a single species, Polychrus gutturosus Berthold, 1845. This canopy dweller distributed the lowland moist forests and riparian forest within pine savannah of northern eastern regions Honduras. Only 13 records nine localities support presence species country; therefore, distribution natural history essentially unknown. Herein, we provide new locality observations specimen captured core zone Reserva del Hombre y La Biosfera...
