Abstract Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. due to roads (hereafter road‐kill) can affect dynamic populations many species and can, therefore, increase risk local decline or extinction. This especially true in Brazil, where plans for network upgrading expansion overlaps biodiversity hotspot areas, which are high importance global conservation. Researchers, conservationists planners face challenge define a national strategy...
The evaluation of road-kill spatial patterns is an important tool to identify priority locations for mitigation measures aiming reduce wildlife mortality on roads. Single target or multi-species approaches are usually adopted implement such measures, although their success must be evaluated. We aim test if hotspots coincident among different vertebrate groups. If this true, data accidents from one group could used plan applicable other identified using five grouping criteria: classes...
Sand fly collections were performed to study ecological aspects of the Phlebotominae fauna Xakriabá Indigenous Reserve, an area with endemic cutaneous leishmaniasis, located in state Minas Gerais, Brazil. The peridomicile areas and along trails previously selected for wild synanthropic Leishmania hosts. Differences distribution patterns sand species as well richness abundance between different ecotopes investigated during both rainy dry seasons over course period. A total 8,046 flies...
The ongoing expansion of the transportation network is one most important threats to tropical ecosystems. In recent years, Brazilian government making huge investments in paving and upgrading existing road network. It therefore crucial time consider how achieve mitigation two main impacts: wildlife mortality isolation. We discuss improvement ecology research environmental impact assessments, recommend integration both as a way effective mitigation. Research oriented toward practical needs...
Abstract Effective management of threatened species requires accurate population size estimation and monitoring. However, reliable estimates are lacking for many endangered species. The critically blond titi monkey ( Callicebus barbarabrownae ) is an endemic primate the Caatinga biome in Northeastern Brazil. A previous assessment based on presence‐only data estimated a minimum 260 mature individuals 2,636 km 2 , studies visual records suggested very low local relative abundance. this cryptic...
The main goal of this dataset is a compilation geo-referenced road-kill data from published and unpublished road surveys. encompasses records 45 personal communications 26 studies in peer-reviewed journals, theses, reports. comprises 21,512 records, 83% which are identified to the species level (n = 450 species). This can be used identify taxa seem vulnerable traffic, analyze temporal spatial patterns at local, regional, national scales also understand effects on population persistence....
Environmental licensing is one of the most important tools environmental policies in any country, as it allows to adopt preventive and mitigation measures on predicted or observed impacts. However, Impact Assessments are recurrently criticized due their low quality effectiveness support decisions for project viability planning. One way counteract those limitations by strengthening terms reference. Here we present results a collaborative initiative carried out southernmost state Brazil...
Abstract Context: Spatial variation in large herbivore populations can be highly affected by the availability of resources (bottom-up) but modulated presence predators (top-down). Studying relative influence these forces has been a major topic interest ecological and conservation research, while it also challenging to sample herbivores. Objective: i) Explore use spatiotemporally replicated drone-based counts analysed with N- mixture models estimate abundance ii) Evaluate bottom-up (forage...
