Geographic distribution of small non-volant mammals in the Araguaia and Paraná ...
Cáceres, Nilton C.; Casella, Janaína; Vargas, Claudeir Ferreira; Prates, Lucineia Z.; Tombini, Alam A.M.; Goulart, Charla S.; Hannibal, Wellington L.We collected small mammals in two hydrographic basins in central Brazil, namely the Paraná and Araguaia basins, with the aim of examining the composition of forest dwelling small mammal species and to compare their geographic distributions. Fourteen sites were sampled, eight in the Paraná basin and six in the Araguaia basin. A total of 20 species of small mammals was registered (8 marsupials and 12 rodents), 16...
Spatial, dietary and temporal niche dimensions in ecological segregation of two...
Cáceres, Nilton C.; Machado, Adriana OliveiraDidelphis aurita and D. albiventris are widely distributed in South America, with a range of sympatry in the limit of their distribution, particularly in Araucaria mixed ombrophilous forest in the southern Atlantic Forest. We investigated the spatial, feeding, and time use between these morphologically similar species in a remnant of Araucaria forest in southern Brazil for one year. We tested the hypothesis tha...

Hudson, Lawrence N; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L L; Lysenko, Igor; De Palma, Adriana; Phillips, Helen R P; Alhusseini, Tamera IThe PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical mod...

Frugivory by the black-eared opossum Didelphis aurita in the Atlantic Forest of...
Cáceres, Nilton C.; Prates, Lucineia Z.; Ghizoni-Junior, Ivo R.; Graipel, Maurício E.Our objective in this study was to examine the frugivory performed by the black-eared opossum, Didelphis aurita Wied-Neuwied, 1826, in an area of the coastal Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil, including differences between sexes, seasonal variation, and relationships to other sympatric marsupials. We collected 63 fecal samples from a trap grid over a six-month period and analyzed seed presence, seed number and...
