Habitat fragmentation reduces biodiversity and affects ecological processes that are fundamental for maintaining ecosystem services. We investigated how landscape structure—percent forest cover, patch density, percent cover by edge, perimeter-area ratio, spatial heterogeneity—affects the diversity of mammalian carnivores at multiple extents within 22 Atlantic Forest landscapes. hypothesized 1) species richness is positively related to cover; 2) occurrence will vary according its sensitivity...
Even though the great majority of biomass and diversity mammals in tropical forests inhabit canopy (Eisenberg & Thorington 1973), most knowledge this group is based on forest-floor samples (Lowman Moffett 1993). Studies that include trapping efforts are becoming increasingly common (Grelle 2003, Lambert et al . 2005, Malcolm 1995, Patton 2000, Vieira Monteiro-Filho Voss 2001), but aspects ecology arboreal small still remain poorly understood. Many species non-flying co-occur and,...
We investigated the density and activity of oncilla, Leopardus tigrinus (Schreber, 1775), a threatened small cat, in Brazilian Atlantic Forest, using camera-trap data. described differences individuals occurring alone or sympatry with larger cats. Oncilla presented low densities (7-13 ind./100 km²) high flexibility its activity. The oncillas were primarily nocturnal absence other cat species - margay, ocelot puma but became more diurnal, cathemeral pattern, when cats present. is likely to be...
Abstract Defaunation is a key ecological issue that has only recently been given sufficient attention. As predicted, evidence so far indicates loss of larger species followed by medium-sized species, leading to cascading effects propagate throughout entire communities and ecosystems. The Atlantic Forest among the most important global biodiversity hotspots. These regions have historically impacted habitat fragmentation, resulting in landscape changes negative impacts upon animal communities....
O Parque Estadual da Serra do Tabuleiro, situado no centro-leste Estado de Santa Catarina, sul Brasil, possui 85.000ha e abrange grande diversidade ambientes (floresta ombrófila densa, incluindo manguezais restingas, floresta mista estepe ombrófila). De 1991 a 2010 foram realizados 22 estudos sobre sua mastofauna, abrangendo os métodos captura com armadilhas arame, interceptação queda, caixas nidificação, redes-de-neblina, fotográficas, observação direta vestígios. Foram registradas 75...
The ocelot Leopardus pardalis is a medium-sized Neotropical spotted cat with wide geographic range. present study was conducted in reserve an Atlantic Forest area southern Brazil, and provided information on ecology through photographic records. Density estimated by the half of mean maximum distance moved method resulted 0.04 ocelots per km2. minimum home range sizes were obtained convex polygon agreement other studies for males recorded. Our female’s size smaller than ranges reported...
Small cats can have a direct influence on the organization of small Neotropical vertebrate communities. However, magnitude and role(s) played by felids, including Leopardus guttulus, in regulating prey populations is not well understood. This study aims to determine if there key-taxon dietary composition southern tiger (S-tiger) cat evaluate relationship between availability use restinga habitat Southern Brazil. Oligoryzomys spp. were identified as one main items found be among highest...
Leopardus wiedii possui uma distribuicao ampla no Brasil, com excecao do Ceara e sul Rio Grande Sul. Apesar disso, o tamanho populacional efetivo calculado de cerca 4.700 individuos territorio brasileiro. Estima-se que nos proximos 15 anos (tres geracoes) deva ocorrer um declinio pelo menos 10% desta populacao, principalmente pela perda fragmentacao habitat relacionadas a expansao agricola. Ha conectividade as populacoes dos paises vizinhos, mas nao existem informacoes sobre dinâmica...
