Ecological relationships of meso-scale distribution in 25 neotropical vertebrat...
Michalski, Lincoln José; Norris, Darren; Oliveira, Tadeu G. de; Michalski, F.Vertebrates are a vital ecological component of Amazon forest biodiversity. Although vertebrates are a functionally important part of various ecosystem services they continue to be threatened by anthropogenic impacts throughout the Amazon. Here we use a standardized, regularly spaced arrangement of camera traps within 25km2 to provide a baseline assessment of vertebrate species diversity in a sustainable use pr...
Richness and composition of vertebrates in active and inactive latrines of Pter...
Togura, Cintia Massumi; Norris, Darren; Michalski, F.This study aimed to evaluate the richness and composition of the medium and large sized vertebrates in active and inactive latrines of Giant otters [Pteronura brasiliensis (Gmelin, 1788)] in a Sustainable Use conservation unit in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon. The study was performed in 45 latrines along 230 km of the Falsino and Araguari rivers (0°55'N, 51°35'W) and from this total, 24 presented fresh feces of ...
Socio-economic and spatial determinants of anthropogenic predation on Yellow-sp...
Norris, Darren; Michalski, F.Human expansion has drastically affected wildlife species across Amazonian waterways and the continued increase in rural populations across Amazonia is likely to increase pressure on widely exploited chelonian species. The lack of information evaluating determinants of human consumption patterns limits the effective implementation of conservation strategies. Our objective was to determine the relative importanc...
