The influence of population-control methods and seasonality on the activity pat...

The wild boar (Sus scrofa) is a problematic invasive species which has colonized the threatened Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Our objective was to evaluate if population control and seasonality affect the circadian rhythm of wild boar activity. Wild boar activity was monitored by camera-traps for 1 year without population-control methods and 1 year with population control methods implemented in the area. Before po...

Mammals of the iguaÇu national park

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-30T19:02:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; The creation of protected areas has proven to be one of the most effective tools for the conservation of biodiversity worldwide. In Brazil, the first national parks were established in the 1930s, of which Iguaçu National Park (PARNA Iguaçu) was the second to be created, in 1939, to protect the world-fam...

Factors affecting space use by wild boars (Sus scrofa) in high-elevation tropic...

The wild boar (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758) is considered one of the 100 worst invasive species in the world and is present in the high-elevation forests in Brazil. Our objective was to understand how landscape and atmospheric conditions affect space use by wild boars. We hypothesized that wild boars would be more frequent at lower elevations, warmer and wetter forested areas, and away from human disturbances. Af...

Influence of pitfall designs and use of baits on the capture of small mammals i...

Each kind of trap tends to be selective on species sampled, in a way that each one only reveals part of the abundance and species richness of the community sampled. In this way, in order to know the factors that affect the success of sampling methods is crucial for a better planning of experiments and data analysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that affect the success of pitfall traps in ca...

Assessing the risk of invasion of species in the pet trade in Brazil

Biological invasions are a major concern for biodiversity conservation. The release and escape of pet animals are the main sources of mammal invasions. Identifying potential invaders before they are introduced is a key tool for preventing the spread and impact of invasive alien species. Among the tools available for screening potential invaders are risk analysis protocols, which can also be used to assess the r...

Non-volant mammals in areas predominantly of the Atlantic forest belonging to Samarco Mineração S.A., municipality of Anchieta, Espírito Santo. Although the Atlantic forest has a very diverse fauna with several endemic species, in Espírito Santo state its mastofauna is still poorly known. This paper presents a preliminary inventory of non-volant mammals of remnants of the Atlantic forest on properties of Samarc...
