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),...
Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 them endemic. We compiled a dataset 5,472 georeferenced locations native 1 introduced species, as hybrids genera Callithrix Alouatta. The includes 700 communities, 8,121 single occurrences 714 estimates population sizes, covering most natural forest types tropical...
Coimbra-Filho’s titi monkey, Callicebus coimbrai Kobayashi and Langguth, 1999, appears to be endemic the northern Atlantic Forest, south of lower São Francisco River in east state Sergipe north-east Bahia. This study presents 13 new records occurrence species Japaratuba basins eastern Sergipe, extending its range over a distance some 40 km. represents an important advance known total number populations this endangered primate.
Abstract Our understanding of mammal ecology has always been hindered by the difficulties observing species in closed tropical forests. Camera trapping become a major advance for monitoring terrestrial mammals biodiversity rich ecosystems. Here we compiled one largest datasets inventories communities Neotropical region based on camera studies. The dataset comprises 170 surveys medium to large using traps conducted 144 areas 74 studies, covering six vegetation types and subtropical Atlantic...
The expansion of urban areas has created hostile environments for forest species, negatively impacting biodiversity. Animals that explore anthropized can suffer various injuries, such as electrocution and attacks by domestic dogs. Here, we report two fatal incidents involving the threatened Southeastern maned three-toed sloth (Bradypus crinitus, Gray 1850) occurred in municipality Santa Teresa, mountainous region Espirito Santo, Brazil. One was attacked a dog, while other electrocuted an...
Summary The intrinsic complexity, variety of concepts and numerous ways to quantify landscape heterogeneity (LH) may hamper a better understanding how its components relate ecological phenomena. Our study is the first synthesize this concept provide state art on subject based comprehensive systematic literature review 661 articles published between 1982 2019. Definitions, terminologies measurements LH were diverse conflicting. Most (534 out 661) did not any definition for LH, we found great...
Domestic dog is the most successful invasive mammalian predator species, and reducing its ecological impacts on wildlife a central conservation goal globally. Free-ranging dogs can negatively interact with at multiple levels, posing issues for biodiversity in tropical forests, especially fragmented Atlantic Forest. To optimize future control programs, it necessary to identify main factors influencing their habitat use, particularly natural reserves. We combined camera trapping data occupancy...
During 2019 and 2020, Amazon Pantanal wildfires were news all over the world, followed by shocking images of burnt landscapes animals. Fires within rainforests wetlands are seldom related to natural causes. Instead, these human-driven events, often caused illegal actions associated with deforestation land conversion sustain intensive agriculture farming, among other impacts. The loss native vegetation, not only causes habitat loss, fragmentation degradation, but also increases risk fires...
Terrestrial mammals face a severe crisis of habitat loss worldwide. Therefore, assessing information on throughout different time periods is crucial for species’ conservation statuses based the IUCN Red List system. To support national extinction risk assessment in Brazil (2016–2022), we developed script that uses MapBiomas Project 6.0 data source land cover and use (annual maps at 30 m scale) within Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform to calculate loss. We defined suitable habitats from...
Caracterizar a estrutura do habitat, identificando funcionalidade de espécies arbóreas, é uma estratégia importante para auxiliar programas manejo. Este estudo objetivou caracterizar identificar composição ecológica e o tipo síndrome dispersão das árvores em fragmentos habitados pelo ameaçado extinção Callicebus coimbrai, Mata Atlântica Sergipe. Foram percorridos oito transectos método quadrante errante, com 780 pontos registrados 3.166,71m percorridos. Em cada ponto, coletamos DAP, altura,...
Abstract Climate change and habitat loss have been identified as the main causes of species extinction. Forest regeneration protected areas are essential to buffer climate impacts ensure quality habitats for threatened species. We assessed current future environmental suitability maned sloth, Bradypus torquatus, under both forest restoration scenarios, using ecological niche modeling. compared two Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUnorth ESUsouth) scenarios 2070, three potential scenarios....
Abstract The first step towards understanding the conservation situation and informing decision‐making is to identify habitat loss drivers. However, for nearly all tropical biota, there a glaring lack of information on spatiotemporal patterns anthropogenic Our objective was analyse spatial temporal distribution main drivers Bradypus torquatus crinitus , two endangered endemic species Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We used land‐use associated with seven major IUCN‐based threats sloths, covering...
Abstract Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs), are an advanced technology that allows the collection of large amounts data in a short amount time, including detection cryptic and arboreal animals. Here, we report first records southern maned sloth Bradypus crinitus obtained with thermal cameras from drone. As far as know, this is time has been observed by We recorded four individuals B. Brazilian Atlantic Forest, plus Procyon cancrivorus , which were all resting forest canopy. The...
We present the first record of maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus) consumption by tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier).Our is based on analysis stomach contents a captured off coast Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil.Although it not possible to distinguish between predation and scavenging event, we consider likely that was consumed while dispersing islands region.We also comment heretofore unforeseen risks aquatic dispersal xenartrans.
