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),...
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...
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Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across published, peer‐reviewed, gray literature in unpublished raw data.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...
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the second most common protozoosis that affects people around world. The aim of this study to understand how environmental and socioeconomic factors, as well VL control surveillance interventions, influence spread detection cases in Pernambuco state (Brazil). A novel model was developed analyze between 2007 2018, enabling quantification association these variables with two processes: probability "invasion" (emergence new cases) at municipalities by VL,...
Abstract The bushy-tailed opossum Glironia venusta is a rare marsupial from Amazonia, with most of the known records obtained through scant visualization/photography events or by few captures/deposit specimens in scientific collections. This study presents unusual for species: first record individuals dead due to vehicle collision, and specimen opportunistically trapped into mistnet. data presented herein provide additional morphometrical ecological insights about G. . Although this species...
Defaunation, the decline in animal species and populations, is biased towards large-bodied animals that have unique roles as dispersers of large seeds. However, it speculated these may still be performed by smaller animals, such small mammals like rodents marsupials, thrive defaunated sites. We investigated if can disperse large-seeded palm Attalea dubia . study a well-conserved Atlantic Forest remnant southeast Brazil harbours mammals, tapirs. Focal observations showed capuchin-monkeys...
Abstract Proximity to roads is one of the main determinants deforestation in Amazon basin. Determining construction year (CYR) critical improve understanding drivers road and enable predictions expansion network its consequent impact on ecosystems. While recent artificial intelligence approaches have been successfully used for extraction, they typically relied high spatial‐resolution imagery, precluding their adoption determination CYR older roads. In this article, we developed a new...
In the current scenario of environmental changes, anthropic pressures on biodiversity are in constant increase, stressing importance assessing distribution and occurrence organisms natural regions, especially protected areas. Here we surveyed terrestrial vertebrate fauna Assis State Forest updated existing species list. Reptiles were sampled using pitfall traps active search, birds by transects listening points, while mammals camera traps, linear transect census, live traps. Four samplings...
