Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet number in Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence abundance on mammal that (1) transposed geographical barrier (2) Neotropics. Our set composed 73,738 historical current georeferenced records alien which...
Abstract Aim Parapatric distributional patterns can arise from abiotic or biotic factors, dispersal barriers. Climate change potentially affect parapatry by changing species’ potential geographic distribution, and thereby widening shrinking contact zones. Here, we study the effects of climate on all six species in genus Callithrix , a group small‐sized Neotropical primates that is distributed parapatrically eastern Brazil, allegedly due to interactions. Location Atlantic Forest, savanna...
Sites with high environmental suitability for species’ occurrence, in terms of abiotic conditions, may hold populations higher local abundances by increasing reproductive and survival rates decreasing extinction rate. Interspecific competition, however, affect this relationship. Here we tested the hypothesis that abundance gray slender opossum Marmosops incanus is affected richness potential competitors derived from ecological niche models (ENMs). We also discuss ability distinct modelling...
A lista mais recente dos mamíferos que ocorrem no Parque Nacional da Serra Órgãos (PARNASO), com 79 registros, consta seu segundo Plano de Manejo, publicado em 2008. O presente estudo teve como objetivo atualizar a espécies do PARNASO, inserindo novos registros obtidos através dados primários e revisão bibliográfica, considerando o período 2002 2018. Manejo resultou 75 válidos. Destes, três foram consideradas localmente extintas ( Panthera onca , Tayassu pecari Tapirus terrestris ) não...
NEW SOUTHERNMOST RECORDS OF Callithrix geoffroyi (PRIMATES, CALLITRICHIDAE) EXPAND THE SPECIES KNOWN RANGE, IN SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL
Abstract Aim Geographical range expansion depends on ecological and evolutionary processes that may hamper local adaptations in populations living at edges by constraining phenotypic variability. This study investigates the spatial patterns of intraspecific variability skull traits throughout geographical a marsupial from Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We aimed to answer whether distance edge environmental suitability explain variation morphological species. Location Forest, Brazil. Taxon...
