Abstract Starting in 1994, a wholesale wild meat market developed north‐eastern Ecuador, involving Waorani and Kichwa people the area of influence road built to facilitate oil extraction within Yasuní National Park. Between 2005 2007, we recorded trade 11 717 kg this market, with pacas Cuniculus paca , white‐lipped peccaries Tayassu pecari collared Pecari tajacu woolly monkeys Lagothrix poeppiggi accounting for 80% total biomass. Almost half brought was transported by dealers resale at...
ABSTRACT Objective Current methods for larval fish preservation impede molecular analyses and hinder our ability to modernize monitoring programs using the latest technologies. We tested seven candidate preservatives (10% buffered formalin, 10% hydantoin, 50% ethanol, 70% DESS [a solution containing dimethyl sulfoxide, disodium EDTA, saturated NaCl], Excell Plus, DNA Shield) their preserve Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus morphology while also allowing subsequent analyses. Methods...

 On oceanic islands, where carnivorous mammals are frequently absent, the niches of large predators often filled by raptors and reptiles. Cuban Boas (Chilabothrus angulifer), along with Crocodiles (Crocodylus rhombifer) birds prey, were top in Cenozoic terrestrial ecosystems Cuba until arrival Homo sapiens region about 6,000 years ago. This ecological scenario boas genus Chilabothrus functioning as is repeated on each largest islands Greater Antilles. The evolution very size Boa best...
This study aimed to find alternative feeds or supplementary that can perform similarly the existing commercial thereby reducing farmer expense and cutting down their cost of production increasing profitability. The formulations for included four grow-out treatments mainly: control (commercial feed), taro+control (powdered Colocasia esculenta+commercial fish bloodmeal (formulated feed based on bloodmeal), banana stem+control (chopped stem+commercial feed). A total 12,000 fingerlings initially...
Jaguar populations ( Panthera onca ) on the Ecuadorian coast are critically endangered, with only a few dozen individuals remaining in region. In some areas, no records have been documented for decades. Between November 2023 and January 2024, independent camera trap monitoring northwestern Ecuador yielded evidence of presence jaguar, marking significant recovery after seven years absence Manduriacu at least 15 Junín. The jaguar was observed moving through an area approximately 25 km,...
New localities and distribution models inform the conservation status of endangered lizard Anolis guamuhaya (Squamata: Dactyloidae) from central Cuba. is known seven restricted to Guamuhaya Massif in Cuba always associated with mountane ecosystems above 300 m a.s.l. Previous evaluations species based on estimated number mature individuals have categorized anole as Endangered. Eight new records A. are provided here. These double localities, two represent first lowland areas, apart Massif. The...

 The reproductive biology of the Cuban Lesser Racer (Caraiba andreae) is very poorly known, despite species being among most common and widely distributed snakes in Cuba. Herein we provide data obtained mostly captivity on eggs hatchlings, incubation time, hatching behavior, courtship behavior.
Los mamíferos medianos y grandes de la alta Amazonía ecuatoriana han sido poco estudiados a pesar enfrentar graves amenazas. En este contexto, estudio buscó documentar riqueza abundancia estas especies en el Bosque Protector Comunidad Etnoecológica Pablo López Oglán Alto (BPCEPLOA) ubicado provincia Pastaza. De febrero julio 2020 se instalaron 20 estaciones fototrampeo, separadas entre sí por 500 m, diez km² bosque siempre verde tierras bajas. Con un esfuerzo 3347 noches-trampa, obtuvieron...

 The genus Ameiva Meyer 1795 comprises 23 species of which 14 are found in Central and South America 18 occur the West Indies. These lizards occupy diverse habitats (e.g., grasslands, tropical forests, sandy beaches) but most appear to prefer open areas. They ground-dwellers active diurnal foragers. Cuba harbors only one species, auberi. However, 40 subspecies distributed widely across main island, adjacent cays, on into Bahamas. Reproductive behavior has been documanted some family...

 The herpetofauna inhabiting the keys in Cienfuegos Bay south-central Cuba is virtually unknown. Herein we provide results of first rapid inventory performed on Cayo Carenas during summer 2016. We found 12 reptilian species seven families key. also discuss ecology and most plausible biogeographic origins for some species.
