Nonvolant mammal megadiversity and conservation issues in a threatened central ...
Oliveira, Tadeu G. de; Mazim, Fábio Dias; Vieira, Odgley Q.; Barnett, Adrian Ashton; Silva, Gilberto do N.; Soares, José B.Garcia; Santos, Jean P.Amazonia National Park is located in southwestern Pará State in central Amazonia. The 10,707 km2 park is one of the largest protected areas in Brazil and is covered with pristine forests, but the region is threatened by dam construction projects. An incomplete mammal biodiversity inventory was conducted in the area during the late 1970s. Here, we present results of sampling from 7,295 live-trap nights, 6,000 pi...
Ants in their plants: Pseudomyrmex ants reduce primate, parrot and squirrel pre...
Barnett, Adrian Ashton; Almeida, Thais; Andrade, Richelly; Boyle, Sarah Ann; Lima, Marcelo Gonçalves de; MacLarnon, Ann M.; Ross, CarolineAlthough plant-inhabiting ants are known to act as effective deterrents to a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores, this has been reported only once before for primates, a group better known for their predation of ants. In the present study, we investigated the effects that colonies of Pseudomyrmex viduus ants living in individual Macrolobium acaciifolium (Fabaceae) trees have on the rates of visita...
Differential resilience of Amazonian otters along the Rio Negro in the aftermat...
Pimenta, Natalia Camps; Antunes, André Pinassi; Barnett, Adrian Ashton; Macedo, Valêncio W.; Shepard, Glenn HarveyCommercial hunting for the international trade in animal hides in the 20th century decimated many populations of aquatic wildlife in Amazonia. However, impacts varied significantly between different species and regions, depending upon hunting intensity, accessibility of habitat, and the inherent resilience of various species and their habitats. We investigated the differential responses of two Amazonian Musteli...

Rocha, Alessandro; Borges, Sérgio Henrique; Ovalle, Juan Miguel Ruiz; Barnett, Adrian AshtonWe recorded predation on the squirrel Guerlinguetus ingrami by a Collared Forest-Falcon (Micrastur semitorquatus) through camera trapping in a forest fragment of Atlantic Forest in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil. The squirrel was captured while it moved across the forest floor. A compilation from bibliographic and other sources resulted in 68 vertebrate and 03 invertebrate species as prey of the Collar...
