Summary Over the last two decades, a large number of camera trap surveys have been carried out around world and traps proposed as an ideal tool for inventorying monitoring medium to large‐sized terrestrial vertebrates. However, few studies analysed data at community level. We developed multi‐session multi‐species occupancy model that allows us obtain estimates species richness combining from multiple (sessions). By estimating presence session‐level modelling detection probability each...
Abstract Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential integrity landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value their habitat requirements guide management plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; Ursidae. Herein, we include published unpublished data on native terrestrial (Canidae;...
In the Peruvian Amazon, white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) is a desirable game species and important for local rural economy. Blood samples from 101 peccaries Peru were collected 3 different conservation areas located in municipalities of Manu Tambopata, southeastern region Amazon. Antibodies assayed using modified agglutination test (MAT, cut value 25). to Toxoplasma gondii found 89.1% (90 101) animals, with titers 1∶25 9, 1∶50 25, 1∶100 20, 1∶200 14, 1∶400 12, 1∶800 1∶3,200 1; 87.7%...
Peru has 13% of the Amazonian tropical forest which contains over 460 species mammals, including white lipped peccary or huangana (Tayassu peccari). This is great ecological and commercial importance a major source protein for local inhabitants; however, information about sanitary situation this scarce. The aim study was to determine antibodies against bluetongue virus (BTV) other Orbivirus in free-living healthy peccaries from Madre de Dios region, Peru. One hundred six serum samples were...
La fenología reproductiva de siete especies palmeras arborescentes, correspondientes a 176 individuos fue estudiada durante 34 meses, entre julio 2005 y mayo 2008, en Madre Dios, Perú. Las observaciones mensuales consideraron dos fenofases evaluar: floración (botones florales flores) fructificación (frutos inmaduros maduros), cuyos porcentajes producción fueron reducidos 5 categorías. se produjo la temporada mayor precipitación o época húmeda presentó transición seca húmeda. Mauritia...
Neospora caninum is a coccidian parasite originally reported in dogs and widely prevalent numerous species of wild domestic animals has as definitive hosts some canids. The white-lipped peccary (WLP) (Tayassu pecari) Tayassuidae mammal, found from Mexico to south Brazil north Argentina. It game with great economic importance the Peruvian Amazon. Blood samples 101 WLPs were collected near or within three different conservation reserves located southeastern region For detection antibodies...
El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la presencia de anticuerpos contra el virus distemper canino (vDC) en jaguares (Panthera onca) y pumas (Puma concolor) vida libre Madre Dios. Las 19 muestras (jaguares = 13, pumas= 6) fueron colectadas Concesión Conservación Río Los Amigos (n=2) Reserva Nacional Tambopata/ Parque Bahuaja Sonene (n=17) durante los trabajos World Wildlife Fund (WWF) entre 2006 2008. La detección vDC se hizo mediante prueba inmunofluorescencia indirecta (IFI) una dilución...
El jaguar (Panthera onca), felino más grande de América, se encuentra amenazado por factores como la deforestación, cacería, reducción sus presas y el tráfico partes, ello han realizado varios esfuerzos para conservación esta especie a nivel continental. Sin embargo, estas valiosas iniciativas tienen muchas imprecisiones en mapas excluye importantes áreas distribución del jaguar. Para esto, basados un mapa cobertura bosque no puntos observación jaguares los últimos 20 años presentamos una...
The aim of the study was to determine presence antibodies against New Jersey (NJ) and Indiana subtype 1 (IND-1) Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) in free-living white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) three localities Madre de Dios, Peru. VSV by virus neutralization test determined 88 serum samples adult male females apparent good health condition. Results showed that 53.4% (47/88) 18.2% (16/88) were positive serotypes IND-1 NJ respectively, whereas 55.3 12.6% had neutralizing titers equal or...
