Local abundance results from the interaction between populational and environmental processes. The of species in a community is also one most basic descriptors its structure. Despite importance, information about abundances fragmentary, creating knowledge gap known as Prestonian Shortfall. Here we present comprehensive data set small mammal Atlantic Forest. Data were extracted 114 published sources unpublished collected by our research groups spanning 1943 to 2017. includes 1,902 records at...
The Atlantic forest of Brazil is nowadays reduced to less than 8% its total original area and yet many species remain be described. Forest north the São Francisco river - Pernambuco Endemism Center (CEPE) has 2% cover knowledge on small mammals scarce. Aiming assess mammal community this region surveys were carried out in 12 fragments different sizes distinct geographic areas CEPE. capture-mark-recapture technique was used with live-traps set along linear transects. We recorded 15 species,...
We report the discovery of a new species Cebus (Primates, Cebidae), here designated queirozi sp. nov. Mendes Pontes and Malta, found in single population, composed group 18 individuals, Atlantic coast Pernambuco Endemism Centre, sector forest Brazil located above São Francisco river, one most important hotspots earth. The was not any 23 other sites surveyed region, which suggests that they are critically endangered and, therefore, holotype sacrificed, but photographed subsequently released...
Among the Oryzomyini (Sigmodontinae), Oecomys is most speciose, with 17 species. This genus presents high karyotypic diversity (2n = 54 to 2n 86) and many taxonomic issues at species level because of presence cryptic overlap morphological characters. For these reasons real number may be underestimated. With aim verifying if taxon catherinae composed more than one species, we made comparative studies on two populations from regions Brazil, Amazon another Atlantic Forest using both classical...
The genus Oecomys Thomas, 1906 is currently composed of 16 species with unclear taxonomy and poorly known geographic limits. O. catherinae 1909 to occur within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest from states Santa Catarina Pernambuco (where northernmost previously specimen in forest was recorded), along riverine into Cerrado. To gain a greater understanding its geographical ecological distribution (mainly Northeastern Brazil) taxonomic characterization, we provide short review karyotypical...
