No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-10-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); Understanding the mechanisms by which alien species become invasive can assure successful control programs and mitigate alien species' impacts. The distribution of invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) has been sharply expanding throughout a...

Dispersal limitation induces long-term biomass collapse in overhunted Amazonian...
Peres, Carlos A.; Emilio, Thaise; Schietti, Juliana; Desmouliére, Sylvain J.M.; Levi, TaalTropical forests are the global cornerstone of biological diversity, and store 55% of the forest carbon stock globally, yet sustained provisioning of these forest ecosystem services may be threatened by hunting-induced extinctions of plant-animal mutualisms that maintain long-term forest dynamics. Large-bodied Atelinae primates and tapirs in particular offer nonredundant seed-dispersal services for many large-s...

Fragoso, José Manuel Vieira; Gonçalves, Fernando Henrique; Oliveira, Luiz Flamarion Barbosa; Overman, Han; Levi, Taal; Silvius, Kirsten M.We compared the distribution and occurrence of 15 carnivore species with data collected monthly over three years by trained native trackers using both sign surveys and an encounter-based, visual-distance method in a well-preserved region of southern Guyana (Amazon / Guiana Shield). We found that a rigorously applied sign-based method was sufficient to describe the status of most carnivore species populations, i...

Bushmeat hunting and extinction risk to the world’s mammals
Ripple, William J.; Abernethy, Katharine; Betts, Matthew G.; Chapron, Guillaume; Dirzo, Rodolfo; Galetti, Mauro [UNESP]; Levi, Taal; Lindsey, Peter A.Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:29:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-10-19; Terrestrial mammals are experiencing a massive collapse in their population sizes and geographical ranges around the world, but many of the drivers, patterns and consequences of this decline remain poorly understood. Here we provide an analysis showing that bushmeat hunting for mostly food and medicinal...
