Xenarthrans-anteaters, sloths, and armadillos-have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control nutrient cycling, playing key roles engineers. Because of habitat loss fragmentation, hunting pressure, conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 armadillos, 10 anteaters, 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7),...
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 Herein, we include published unpublished data on native terrestrial (Canidae;...
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet number in Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence abundance on mammal that (1) transposed geographical barrier (2) Neotropics. Our set composed 73,738 historical current georeferenced records alien which...
