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. ...

Cranial characters associated with the proboscis postnatal-development in Tapirus (Perissodactyla: Tapiridae) and comparisons with other extant and fossil hoofed mammals
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018-11)
Among extant hoofed mammals, only elephants and tapirs exhibit a true proboscis. We investigated the development of cranial characters potentially associated with the presence of a short proboscis in tapir species, following ...
Post-fire succession of small mammals in the Cerrado of central Brazil
(Springer, 2004-05-01)
In the Cerrado savannas from Brazil fire events are common and strongly influence the vegetation structure and, consequently, the associated small mammals. In this paper, we investigate changes in the structure of small ...

Assessing mammal responses to perturbations in temperate aridlands of Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2003-12)
Loss of species richness and reduced abundance have been the main responses to perturbations of small- and medium-sized mammals in arid and semi-arid areas. Nonetheless, some mammal species whose habitat requirements are ...
Assessment of the role of small mammals in the transmission cycle of tegumentary leishmaniasis and first report of natural infection with Leishmania braziliensis in two sigmodontines in northeastern Argentina
(Springer, 2018-02)
To contribute to the knowledge of the role of small mammals in the transmission cycle of tegumentary leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania braziliensis, we studied the small mammal community and its temporal and spatial ...
Serologic evidence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in wild birds and mammals from Southeast Brazil
(American Association of Zoo VeterinariansYulee, 2014-03)
In this study, serum samples of 53 wild animals from two different states from the southeast region of Brazil were analyzed for the presence of anti–Toxoplasma gondii antibodies by the modified agglutination test (MAT), ...
