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...
