Abstract Aim Although sharing many similarities in their vegetation types, South America and Africa harbour very dissimilar recent mammal faunas, not only taxonomically but also terms of several faunistic patterns. However late Pleistocene mid‐Holocene albeit distinct, presented convergent attributes. Here we propose that the effects Holocene climatic change on physiognomy has played a crucial role shaping extant mammalian Location from to present. Methods Data here have been compiled...
Although savannas are fire-adapted ecosystems, prescribing fire for biodiversity conservation remains controversial at least in some regions where occur. Faced with uncertainty, many decision makers and even scientists still reluctant to prescribe purposes fire-prone invoking the precautionary principle. Knowledge gaps on ideal regime, such as how when burn, especially fear of losses, among main arguments against management applied remnants native savanna vegetation. To inform this debate,...
The aim of this paper is to provide a checklist flying and non-flying mammal species which occur in the state Mato Grosso do Sul, delimiting by vegetation domains vulnerability. Records were based on specimens museums, literature, only eventually photos (by camera traps). There are 151 reported or collected state, comprising 10 orders 29 families. richest Chiroptera (61 spp.), Rodentia (35), Carnivora (18), Didelphimorphia (16). families Phyllostomidae (33 species), Cricetidae (23),...
Oecomys is a genus of Neotropical arboreal rodents composed 17 species with diploid number ranging from 2n = 54 to 86. Despite this high taxonomic and karyotypic diversity, the species-level systematics remains uncertain. We investigated phylogenetic relationships delimitation using multiple approaches based on cytogenetic, molecular (mtDNA nuDNA sequences) morphological data sets. Sampling included 73 individuals 25 localities in Amazonia, Cerrado, Pantanal Atlantic Forest, as well 128 DNA...
Effective, resilient and strategic protected area networks are essential to protect biodiversity human welfare, especially in vulnerable hotspots. This is the case Brazilian Cerrado, richest tropical savanna, a deforestation front worldwide. Worryingly, rate of habitat conversion Cerrado greatly reduces opportunities conserve its biodiversity. Herein, using most comprehensive database on distribution endemic terrestrial vertebrates, we mapped conservation priority areas evaluated how what...
A fauna de mamíferos do estado São Paulo consta 231 táxons, sendo este número uma estimativa da real diversidade presente na região, dado a falta amostragem em grandes extensões estado, e também revisões taxonômicas para determinados grupos. Ainda assim, nosso conhecimento aumentou 20% desde última 1998, principalmente relação aos quirópteros roedores. Estes dados são provenientes inventários faunísticos, estudo espécimes depositados coleções científicas oriundos taxonômicas. Também temos um...
The Cerrado biome is one of the global hotspots biodiversity, and non-volant small mammals represent a significant portion species richness (45%) endemism (86%). Nevertheless, we still lack comprehensive picture mammal diversity patterns drivers throughout Cerrado. Here surveyed across 45 sites to address richness, abundance, composition their within sites, habitats, localities at world’s most diverse tropical savanna. As hypothesized, found: (1) rich assemblages (12–21 species)...
Emas National Park is a very importam Conservation Unit in the Cerrado Biome. Nevertheless fauna of this region still poorly known. In study, revised list mammal with comments about composition and number species surveyed presented. Eighty six mammals were recorded neighboring area, including several rare threatened species, like bush dog (Speothos venaticus (Lund, 1842)), Marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus (Illiger, 1815)) others. The giant rat (Kunsia tomentosus (Lichtenstein, 1830)) was...
Registramos 39 espécies de quirópteros na Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins e áreas adjacentes, nordeste estado Tocantins, durante 28 dias trabalho campo nos anos 2003 2008 estação chuvosa. Este estudo da quiropterofauna é um dos primeiros para o aumentando número conhecido esta região, com 29 registradas pela primeira vez no estado. As mais abundantes foram P. lineatus C. perspicillata, 23,5 15,4% total capturas. A diversidade nível família também foi alta: Phyllostomidae (26...
A comunidade de mamíferos terrestres foi amostrada em três localidades (1-Mateiros, TO; 2- Rio da Conceição, TO e 3- Formosa do Preto, BA) no interior Estação Ecológica Serra Geral Tocantins. Para o registro dos marsupiais pequenos roedores foram utilizadas armadilhas convencionais (5.396 armadilhas.noite) queda (5.300 pitfalls.noite) nas diferentes fitofisionomias encontradas, entre elas: campo úmido, limpo, sujo, cerrado, cerrado sensu stricto, com afloramentos rochosos, mata galeria...
The marsupials of the family Didelphidae went through profound taxonomic rearrangements in recent decades, mainly related to an increase number specimens deposited scientific collections and inclusion molecular data systematic analyses, resulting better resolved phylogenies taxa delimitation. Analyses a large series gracile mouse opossum Gracilinanus agilis, including types complementary material, recovered assignable Marmosa agilis peruana Tate, 1931 as monophyletic group that is...
Abstract New World Marsupials (NWMs) comprise over 135 species ranging from Patagonia (Argentina) to northern North America, classified within the orders Didelphimorphia, Microbiotheria and Paucituberculata. This study examines recent taxonomic revisions conservation priorities for NWMs, based on IUCN Red List assessments current literature. NWMs are included in following categories: 2 (1.5%) Critically Endangered (CR), 9 (6.6%) Vulnerable (VU), 7 (5.1%) Near Threatened (NT), 15 (11%) Data...
<title>Abstract</title> Ecological Corridors (ECs) are proposed as cost-effective solutions to improve ecological connectivity in fragmented landscapes. Planning the implementation of ECs must take into account landscape features they affect viability endeavor and associated costs. A novel set geoprocessing tools were used analyze i) viability; ii) cost-effectiveness; iii) determine priority targets for establishment a highly region Atlantic Forest. Landscape features, land use cover,...
Abstract The recent increase in mammal inventories and the widespread use of pitfall traps as a major capture method Brazil have increased number non-volant small specimens scientific collections, providing new information on natural history, geographical range, taxonomic status many marsupials rodents. To date, however, little is known about Brazilian species marsupial genus Thylamys : country disputed, are their names geographic distribution. Thus, aim this study was to define genus,...
Introduction. The Cerrado is characterized by a mosaic of habitats ranging from open grasslands to dense arboreal savannas and woodlands, with gallery forests along watercourses. Extensive areas have been gradually deforested in the last 50 years, currently only 20% biome still retains its original vegetation, 2.5% preserved as permanent protected areas. Scientifi c knowledge fauna, such composition, natural history, geographic distribution species very important conservation strategies....
