Plant-mammal interactions in tropical Bolivian forests with different hunting pressures
(2001)
We studied plant-animal interactions and vegetation structure in two geographically close tropical Bolivian forests subjected to different hunting intensities. We hypothesized that reduction of mammals of > 1 kg in an ...
Foraging by Polybia (Trichothorax) ignobilis (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) on flies at animal carcasses
(Soc Brasileira Entomologia, 2007-07-01)
Foraging by Polybia (Trichothorax) ignobilis (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) on flies at animal carcasses. Proteins for brood nutrition of social wasps are obtained from many prey, including insects (even bees and other wasps), ...
The periaqueductal gray as a critical site to mediate reward seeking during predatory hunting
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
Previous studies using morphine-treated dams reported a role for the rostral lateral periaqueductal gray (rIPAG) in the behavioral switching between nursing and insect hunting, likely to depend on an enhanced seeking ...
Hunting, Herding, and Caravanning: Osteometric Identifications of Camelid Morphotypes at Khonkho Wankane, Bolivia
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2015-09)
Khonkho Wankane is a ceremonial center located in the southern Lake Titicaca Basin, Bolivia. During the Late Formative period (AD 1-500), its residents practiced agropastoral lifeways and participated in the rise of the ...
Food-web composition affects cross-ecosystem interactions and subsidies
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2010)
Hunting practices of feral pigs (Sus scrofa) and predation by vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) as a potential route of rabies in the Brazilian Pantanal
(2021-04-01)
Exotic species are known to cause an impact on native species and the environment through various ecological processes. Their impact on disease dynamics is not completely understood, but their relationship with the local ...
Defaunation and biomass collapse of mammals in the largest Atlantic forest remnant
(2017-06-01)
Large continuous rainforests are the main hope for sustaining the population of large-bodied vertebrates that cannot cope with fragmentation or unsustainable hunting. The Brazilian Atlantic forest is considered a biodiversity ...
Contrasting cascade effects of carnivores on plant fitness: a meta-analysis
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2011)
Foraging by Polybia (Trichothorax) ignobilis (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) on flies at animal carcasses
(Sociedade Brasileira de Entomologia, 2007-09-01)
Proteínas para nutrição da prole de vespas sociais são obtidas de várias presas, incluindo insetos (mesmo abelhas e outras vespas), aranhas e pedaços de carne em decomposição. Após serem capturadas e mortas, as presas são ...
Illegal hunting cases detected with molecular forensics in Brazil
(2012-08-03)
Background: Illegal hunting is one of the major threats to vertebrate populations in tropical regions. This unsustainable practice has serious consequences not only for the target populations, but also for the dynamics and ...
