Large mammal community composition and density under a disturbance gradient in Northeast Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2016)
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 ...
Defaunation and fragmentation erode small mammal diversity dimensions in tropical forests
(2018-01-01)
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. ...

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. ...
Local forest proportion and proximity to large forest patches are important for native mammal conservation in Dry Chaco agroecosystems
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-10-28)
Habitat loss is a significant threat to biodiversity worldwide, and the Argentine Dry Chaco is one of the most active global deforestation hotspots. Medium-large mammals are especially vulnerable to land-cover change, and ...
Using medium and large-sized mammals as indicator species to measure connectivity and large infrastructure impacts in Costa Rica
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2019)
This research intended to use medium and large-sized mammals to evaluate the condition of a critical link of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor (MBC) in Costa Rica. Also, we intended to measure the impacts of a hydroelectric ...
Large Mammals in an Agroforestry Mosaic in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2012)
The forest-like characteristics of agroforestry systems create a unique opportunity to combine agricultural production with biodiversity conservation in human-modified tropical landscapes. The cacao-growing region in ...
