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 Herein, we include published unpublished data on native terrestrial (Canidae;...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 Jaguar populations have been declining in Brazil mostly due to habitat loss and fragmentation, conflict with humans, poaching reduction of prey. This is dramatically true the Atlantic Forest, where occurrence this large felid now restricted very few remaining areas. We used a non-invasive DNA analysis search through scats collected Santa Virginia Unit (SVU) Serra do Mar State Park, test for potential presence jaguar there. Our results indicated at least three individuals (two...
Abstract The white‐faced ibis Plegadis chihi Vieillot, 1817 (Pelecaniformes: Threskiornithidae) is a socially monogamous colonially breeding bird in which behavioral and ecological observations suggest the occurrence of conspecific brood parasitism (CBP). We inferred aspects genetic mating system P. nature, using approach absence parental information. used five heterologous microsatellite loci multiple‐step methodological to infer kinship patterns among 104 pairs nestlings sampled inside 80...
We screened 44 heterologous microsatellites isolated in species of the families Threskiornithidae, Ciconiidae and Ardeidae for their use a migratory waterbird, white-faced ibis Plegadis chihi (Vieillot, 1817) (Threskiornithidae). Of loci, 57% amplified successfully 24% were polymorphic. In two breeding colonies from southern Brazil (N = 131) we detected 32 alleles (2-10 alleles/locus). Average He over all loci was 0.55, combined probability excluding false parents, 98%. There no departure...
