Resumen
FAPEMIG - Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação) There is a growing need for a baseline ecological information to comprehend the distribution of species around the environment. Surveys based on camera traps data have provided a great advance on the monitoring of terrestrial mammals and can be used for multiple conservation purposes. Here is presented a compilation of medium to large-sized terrestrial mammals records from camera trap surveys in a neotropical savanna, resulting in 122 studies that sampled 259 occurrence areas of 52 species, covering all of Cerrado’s phytophysiognomies. The complete dataset comprises a total sampling effort of 96.789 days, capturing 8 orders, 17 families and 37 genera. All species occur in at least two singletons of the full sampled areas. The most frequent species records were from Puma concolor, Cerdocyon thous, Leopardus pardalis and Chrysocyon brachyurus. This dataset represents a massive effort to understand the dynamic and composition of the medium-to-large mammals’ community in Cerrado, helping identifying macroecological patterns.
