A delimitação geográfica de um bioma engloba questões que envolvem fatores ambientais, como clima e características da vegetação, além aspectos políticos. Consequentemente, variações na são recorrentes. Mata Atlântica é dos mais importantes hotspots biodiversidade do mundo historicamente diversas delimitações territoriais foram propostas para esse bioma. Aqui tivemos objetivo 1) discutir as quatro principais 2) com base nos limites existentes, sua união (Limite Integrativo) Intersecção...
Satellite telemetry is an increasingly utilized technology in wildlife research, and current devices can track individual animal movements at unprecedented spatial temporal resolutions. However, as we enter the golden age of satellite telemetry, need in-depth understanding main technological, species-specific environmental factors that determine success failure tracking across species habitats. Here, assess relative influence such on ability units to provide expected amount quality data by...
Recent studies have characterized the influence of agroecosystems on biodiversity. However, a set components associated with management these areas is still neglected in landscape-level studies, especially recent agricultural intensification. The resources and conditions provided by to different species are highly variable space time, failing account for this variation may lead misleading conclusions about biodiversity status environments. In perspective, we provide conceptual overview...
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 Herein, we include published unpublished data on native terrestrial (Canidae;...
Abstract The Atlantic Forest in South America (AF) is one of the world’s most diverse and threatened biodiversity hotspots. We present a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis 34 years AF landscape change between 1986-2020. analyzed metrics forest vegetation only (FV), plus other natural (NV), investigated sensitivity to linear infrastructure. Currently, remnants comprise about 23% FV 36% NV, have decreased by 2.4% 3.6% since 1986, respectively. Linear infrastructure negatively affected large...
Abstract: Cetaceans were monitored along ca. 700 km of the southeast coast Brazil (22°S to 25°S) from 1995 2014 using photo-identification. The objective this study was identify any presence long-distance movements for cetacean species and discuss implications. Data on long-range four are presented after analysis 321,765 photographs taken individual identification. Seven individuals populations Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) considered resident particular estuaries or bays reported in...
Abstract Sample size sufficiency is a critical consideration for estimating resource selection functions (RSFs) from GPS‐based animal telemetry. Cited thresholds include number of captured animals and as many relocations per N possible. These render RSF‐based studies misleading if large sample sizes were truly insufficient, or unpublishable small sufficient but failed to meet reviewer expectations. We provide the first comprehensive solution RSF by deriving closed‐form mathematical...
Understanding how wild felids respond to human-modified landscapes is critical for designing effective conservation strategies, yet comparative assessments across species remain scarce in tropical regions. Here, we assess the habitat selection and road sensitivity of nine felid Brazil using an integrative scalable framework based entirely on open-access data. We compiled over 14,000 cleaned occurrence records modelled associations generalized linear models three spatial scales (5, 15, 30...
Abstract Home range studies provide significant insights on social organization and interactions, limiting resources habitat use. Knowledge home use by Guiana dolphins, Sotalia guianensis , is still scarce. The aim of this study was to identify analyze individual’s ranges dolphins in the Cananéia Estuary (~25°03′S, 47°55′W), located southeastern Brazil. Photo-identification efforts were conducted between 2000 2010. From a total 135,918 pictures taken, 34,086 (25%) useful for individual...
Background: Hantavirus disease in humans is rare but frequently lethal the Neotropics. Several abundant and widely distributed Sigmodontinae rodents are primary hosts of Orthohantavirus and, combination with other factors, these can shape hantavirus disease. Here, we assessed influence host diversity, climate, social vulnerability land use change on risk Brazil over 24 years. Methods: Landscape variables (native forest, forestry, sugarcane, maize pasture), climate (temperature...
Abstract Much of what remains the Earth's tropical forests is embedded within agricultural landscapes, where forest reduced and fragmented. As native ungulates are critical to maintaining function, it imperative understand how this functional group responds declines in cover connectivity resulting from expansion. We addressed issue by evaluating selection a key ungulate Neotropical forests, white‐lipped peccary ( Tayassu pecari Link 1795, Tayassuidae, Cetartiodactyla), landscapes Brazil....

Home ranges of seven Guiana dolphins ( Sotalia guianensis ) (Van Bénéden, 1864) were studied in the Cananéia estuary (~25°03′S 47°55′W), south-eastern Brazil. Boat-based observations conducted from May 2000 to July 2003 ~132 km 2 protected inner waters. The photo-identification technique was used follow naturally marked individuals through time and space. From a total 138 catalogued individuals, five males two females presented 20+ sightings for home range estimation. Sightings plotted...
Mammals are important components of biodiversity that have been drastically and rapidly impacted by climate change, habitat loss, anthropogenic pressure. Understanding key species distribution to optimize conservation targets is both urgent necessary reverse the current crisis. Herein, we applied suitability models for a Neotropical forest ungulate, white-lipped peccary (WLP Tayassu pecari), investigate effects landscape modifications on its distribution, which has reduced in Brazil. We used...
The aim of the present study was to describe characteristics Guiana dolphins (S. guianensis) group size and composition in Paranaguá Estuarine Complex (25° 15' -25° 36' S 48° 02'-48° 45' W), Paraná State, as well verify existence relationships between a given environmental variable (water depth, salinity, transparency temperature) size. An area around 124 km² surveyed by boat from April 2006 February 2008 following subsets estuary: Canal do Superagui (~28 km²), Pinheiros bay (~34 part...
Understanding how the landscape influences distribution and behavior of predators prey gives us insights into spatial dynamics their interactions factors that shape populations across space time. This study analyzed between jaguars (Panthera onca) white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) at different forest grassland distances under varying predator or densities. To investigate influence these variables on interactions, we considered analytical contexts “The Dynamic Interaction...
