Forest fragmentation and defaunation are considered the main drivers of biodiversity loss, yet the synergistic effects of landscape changes and biotic interactions on assemblage structure have been poorly investigated. ...
Selective defaunation affects dung beetle communities in continuous Atlantic rainforest
(2013-07-01)
Overhunting has caused severe decline or local extinction in many large-bodied mammals with direct consequences on plant regeneration, yet little is known about indirect impacts of selective defaunation on commensal species. ...
Differential scaling of locomotor performance in small and large terrestrial mammals
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2002)
It has been observed that the relationship between
locomotor performance and body mass in terrestrial
mammals does not follow a single linear trend when the entire range of body mass is considered. Large taxa tend to ...
Post-fire succession of small mammals in the Cerrado of central Brazil
(Springer, 2004-05-01)

Bushmeat hunting and extinction risk to the world’s mammals
(2016-10-19)
Terrestrial mammals are experiencing a massive collapse in their population sizes and geographical ranges around the world, but many of the drivers, patterns and consequences of this decline remain poorly understood. Here ...
Mammals of protected area "La Poligonal" and neighborhood areas in Tandilia hills, Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa, 2013-12)
The information about richness and distribution of the mammals that inhabit the highland grasslands of the Tandilia hills is scarce. The main objective of this work was to provide a list of the mammal species that inhabiting ...
