No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; The Atlantic Forest, a hotspot for biodiversity conservation, harbours five forest deer species (Mazama spp.). Due to their elusiveness, there is a severe scarcity of occurrence data to support ecological studies and conservation planning. Thus, we assembled an occurrence dataset of Atlantic Forest deer...
The Pampa biogeographic province covers a mere 2% of the Brazilian territory (176,496 km²). However, it stands out as a complex and diverse ecosystem, although its mammal communities are still scarcely understood. Human activities are transforming the territory into a mosaic of agroecosystems, native and exotic forest fragments, and grasslands. Here we conducted the first investigation to determine the ric...

The study of small mammals in owl pellets, especially of the genus Tyto, is considered a useful and complementary tool in mammalogy. However, few studies using this kind of information have been conducted in southern Brazil. We analyzed craniodental remains of small mammals in Tyto furcata pellets from seven locations in the three southern Brazilian states. In all, 2,382 individuals belonging to 29 taxa were re...
The genus Cavia includes four species for Brazil, C.aperea (at least two subspecies, C.a.aperea and C.a.pamparum), C.magna, C.intermedia and C.fulgida. Aiming to contribute to the anatomy and to distinction of these species the syncranium (skull and mandible) of C.a.pamparum from Rio Grande do Sul State is described and compared with C.magna from Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina States, C.intermedia from Mo...
O Parque Estadual da Serra do Tabuleiro, situado no centro-leste do Estado de Santa Catarina, sul do Brasil, possui 85.000ha e abrange grande diversidade de ambientes (floresta ombrófila densa, incluindo manguezais e restingas, floresta ombrófila mista e estepe ombrófila). De 1991 a 2010 foram realizados 22 estudos sobre sua mastofauna, abrangendo os métodos de captura com armadilhas de arame, armadilhas de int...
A composição e a distribuição dos répteis em Santa Catarina são pouco conhecidas, particularmente em suas áreas abertas naturais do planalto (estepe ombrófila) e do litoral (faixa litorânea de restingas com dunas). Visando contribuir com o conhecimento dos répteis nestas áreas, são apresentados registros de dezesseis espécies anteriormente desconhecidas ou com poucos registros para Santa Catarina: Acanthochelys ...
A new species of Cavia Pallas, 1766 (mammalia - Caviidae) is described on the basis of 20 skulls and 9 skins from an island of Moleques do Sul Archipelago (Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil), 14 km from the mainland. This species has size and coloration intermediates between C. aperea and C. magna. Cranially, it differs from the other Brazilian species of Cavia by demonstrating a flat sagittal crest, large ...
Monthly trips to Ratones Grande island (27º29'30"S and 48º36'42"W) were made from April 1995 to March 1996 to record amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal species. The island surface is of 194,180m², measuring 1,050 meters at its largest length and 280 meters at its widest part. It is located between the Island of Santa Catarina and the mainland. The secondary Atlantic Forest is its predominant vegetation. One a...
