No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-11-01; Our understanding of mammal ecology has always been hindered by the difficulties of observing species in closed tropical forests. Camera trapping has become a major advance for monitoring terrestrial mammals in biodiversity rich ecosystems. Here we compiled one of the largest datasets of inventories of ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-01-01; Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. Mortality due to roads (hereafter road-kill) can affect the dynamic of populations of many species and can, therefore, increase the risk of local decline or extinction. This is especially true in Brazil, where...
Running over of mammals on roads of Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil. Road deaths represent a factor of great impact on fauna. This is probably one of the main causes of mortality, even for threatened species. However, studies on this subject are unknown in Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil. Considering this lack, the present study presents records of medium to large-sized mammals killed by vehicles on...
Non-volant mammals recorded in environmental evaluation studies in southern Brazil. Studies to evaluate environmental impacts have become both a need and a requirement of environmental agencies due to great alteration of the native environments provoked by man. Many of these studies are short-termed, but reporting the acquired data is very important in order to increase knowledge about specific biotic groups. T...
A commented checklist of the non-volant terrestrial mammals from Santa Catarina Island (27º10'S - 27º50'S e 48º25'W - 48º35'W, 451 km²), southrn Brazil, is presented. The following methods were employed: 1) Bibliographic survey; 2) Identification os specimens housed in the Scientific Collection of Mammals at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina; 3) Use of small (260 x 140 x 90 mm) and medium-sized (410 x ...
