Small Mammals Along SW-Atlantic Marshes: Diversity Correlates with Inland Habitats but Abundance Correlates with Marsh Characteristics
(Springer, 2014-10)
Tidal marshes are narrow wetlands distributed worldwide between the ocean and a variety of inland-habitats. The high diversity of interacting terrestrial habitats may influence terrestrial species composition and abundance ...
Biogeomorphically driven salt pan formation in Sarcocornia-dominated salt-marshes
(Elsevier Science, 2015-01)
Salt-marshes are under increasing threat, particularly from sea-level rise and increased wave action associated with climate change. The development and stability of these valuable habitats largely depend on complex ...
Detection of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Brazilian marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus)
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-06-30)
Ehrlichia chaffeensis was detected for the first time in blood samples from Brazilian marsh deers (Blastocerus dichotomus) captured in the marshes of Parana River in Southeast Brazil in 1998. Seven EDTA-blood samples from ...
Morphology of the tongue of the Marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus)
(Revista Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira, 2016-04-01)
The aim was to describe the morphology of the tongue of the Marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus), the largest deer of the Brazilian fauna, since there is little detailed information on their morphology. Tongues of eight ...
NEST and EGGS of THE MARSH ANTWREN (STYMPHALORNIS ACUTIROSTRIS): THE ONLY MARSH-DWELLING THAMNOPHILID
(Wilson Ornithological Soc, 2012-06-01)
We describe the nest and eggs of the Marsh Antwren (Stymphalornis acutirostris), a recently described species which is the only member of the Thamnophilidae restricted to marsh habitats. We conducted 1,560 hrs of nest ...
Influence of Grasshopper Herbivory on Nitrogen Cycling in Northern Gulf of Mexico Black Needlerush Salt Marshes
(Springer, 2018-05)
Herbivory is a common process in salt marshes. However, the direct impact of marsh herbivory on nutrient cycling in this ecosystem is poorly understood. Using a 15N enrichment mesocosm study, we quantified nitrogen (N) ...
Environmental Harshness Decreases ant β-Diversity Between Salt Marsh and Neighboring Upland Environments
(Springer, 2016-08)
Understanding how wetland organisms interact with neighbor habitats along environmental gradients is important to recognize wetland integrity and its connectivity at landscape-level. We evaluated whether assemblage ...
Crab bioturbation and herbivory may account for variability in carbon sequestration and stocks in south west atlantic salt marshes
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-02)
Coastal vegetation plays an important role for climate change mitigation. Compared with terrestrial ecosystems, coastal vegetation shows higher rates of atmospheric CO2 uptake and a more efficient retention of carbon (C) ...
Cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) infestation in quarantined marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) populations
(Amer Assoc Zoo Veterinarians, 2000-12-01)
Marsh deer (Blastocenrs dichotomus) were captured for a research progam in Brazil and maintained in quarantine stations. After 60 days, fleas were detected on animals and identified as Ctenocephalides felis felis. Elimination ...
A technique for the capture of free-ranging marsh deer (blastocerus dichotomus)
(Amer Assoc Zoo Veterinarians, 2008-12-01)
The marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) is an endangered species froth the marshlands of central South America. Its population has declined in several regions due to the loss of available habitat caused by human activities, ...
