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. ...
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 ...
Pre- and post-fire habitat utilization by rodents of Cerrado from Central Brazil
(Assoc Tropical Biology IncLawrenceEUA, 1998)
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 ...
Influence of tree diameter on climbing ability of small mammals
(2005)
Climbing ability can be a major component of the capability of terrestrial mammals to use vertical habitats. Previous studies suggest that small mammals from central Chile have low climbing capabilities. However, those ...
The distribution and abundance of small mammals in agroecosystems of southeastern Brazil
(WALTER DE GRUYTER & COBERLIN, 2012)
The conservation of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes depends on information about the ways in which species are affected by the conversion of native habitats into novel anthropogenic environments and the strategies ...
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 ...
Bamboo shapes the fine-scale richness, abundance, and habitat use of small mammals in a forest fragment
(2022-01-01)
A classic question in community ecology is how species coexist within a community. Studies have sought to understand how species occurrence vary according to habitat structure, space, food, predators, and competitors. Small ...
Small mammal taphonomy: Intraspecific bone assemblage comparison between South and North American barn owl, Tyto alba, populations
(Academic Press, 1998)
Actualistic studies of small mammal taphonomy usually describe interspecific bone patterns of contemporary agents of bone deposition. These studies assume that each agent produces one specific bone pattern. Here we examine ...
Geographic variation in the size of mammalian prey taken by White-tailed Kites in the Americas
(Associação Field Ornithologists, 2004-06-01)
I examined the size of small mammal prey taken by White-tailed Kites (Elanus leucurus) in the Americas from data obtained in the literature and unpublished material from southern Brazil. Mean weight of adult small mammal ...
