We evaluate the impact of very small and isolated forest fragments on the common marmosets home range, diet, and activity patterns, in the northeastern Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Three groups were studied in three forest fragments, from January to October 2010, totaling 360 hours of observations and 1,080 field-hours. Systematic observations were recorded using Instantaneous Scan Sampling, and a checklist of th...
This study analyzed the reproductive condition, by histomorphometry, of P. discolor collected in forest fragments of the South Coast of Pernambuco during the dry and rainy seasons. The animals are Collection and were classified according to the position testicular (descendants and not descendants). For histomorphometric analysis, 18 were randomly selected specimens during the rainy and dry seasons, being (n = 1...
Mammal communities in the vicinity of human settlements are often subject to subsistence hunting and retaliatory killings. We used fourteen digital camera traps equipped with infrared triggers to sample the medium-sized and large mammal communities for ca. 34 (-1.64) days per site. Diversity was measured as both Shannon entropy and Fager's number of moves (NMS), and dominance was quantified using the Berger-Par...

CNPq; A Amazônia abriga uma grande diversidade de mamíferos, os quais são importantes fontes de alimento para seus habitantes. A caça, entretanto, pode ter forte impacto negativo sobre a mastofauna. O presente estudo comparou a taxa de avistamento, a abundância e a biomassa relativas e o tamanho médio de grupo dos mamíferos de médio e grande porte, bem como caracterizou e quantificou a pressão de caça, em duas ...
Esse estudo analisou a condição reprodutiva, por meio da histomorfometria, de P. discolor coletados em fragmentos de Mata Atlântica do litoral sul de Pernambuco, durante as estações seca e chuvosa. Os animais são de coleção e foram classificados de acordo com a posição testicular (descendentes e não descendentes). Para as análises histomorfométricas, foram selecionados aleatoriamente 18 espécimes durante as est...
