Benavides, Julio A. [UNESP]; Raghavan, Ram K.; Boere, Vanner; Rocha, Silene; Wada, Marcelo Y.; Vargas, Alexander; Voietta, FernandaMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:41:25Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-03-01; Rabies transmitted by wildlife is now the main source of human rabies in the Americas. The common marmoset, Callithrix jacchus, is considered a reservoir of rabies causing sporadic and unpredictable human deaths in Brazil, but the extent of the spillover risk to humans remains unknown. In this study, we...

Outstanding Challenges in the Transferability of Ecological Models
Yates, Katherine L.; Bouchet, Phil J.; Caley, M. Julian; Mengersen, Kerrie; Randin, Christophe F.; Parnell, Stephen; Fielding, Alan H.Predictive models are central to many scientific disciplines and vital for informing management in a rapidly changing world. However, limited understanding of the accuracy and precision of models transferred to novel conditions (their ‘trans- ferability’) undermines confidence in their predictions. Here, 50 experts identified priority knowledge gaps which, if filled, will most improve model transfers. These are...
Potential geographic distribution of Hantavirus reservoirs in Brazil
Oliveira, Stefan Vilges de; Escobar, Luis E.; Peterson, A. Townsend; Gonçalves, Rodrigo GurgelHantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome is an emerging zoonosis in Brazil. Human infections occur via inhalation of aerosolized viral particles from excreta of infected wild rodents. Necromys lasiurus and Oligoryzomys nigripes appear to be the main reservoirs of hantavirus in the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes. We estimated and compared ecological niches of the two rodent species, and analyzed environmental fac...
Rabia transmitida por murciélagos en Latino América
E. Escobar, Luis; Peterson, A. Townsend; Favi, Myriam; Yung, Verónica; Medina-Vogel, GonzaloLa situación de rabia en América es compleja: la rabia en perros ha disminuido drásticamente pero los murciélagos están siendo reconocidos cada vez más como reservorios naturales de otras variantes de rabia. Aquí compilamos las especies de murciélagos reconocidas como positivas a rabia con diferentes variantes antigénicas, así como su relación con el estado de conservación de los murciélagos a lo largo de Améri...

Paléoenvironnements et adaptations humaines au Dernier Maximum Glaciaire : le c...
Banks, William E.; Aubry, Thierry; d'Errico, Francesco; Zilhão, João; Lira-Noriega, Andrés; Peterson, A. TownsendAvec l’avancée de nos connaissances sur la variabilité climatique de la dernière période glaciaire en Europe, une meilleure précision des simulations paléoclimatiques et le développement d’algorithmes prédictifs, il est aujourd’hui possible d’aborder sur de nouvelles bases la relation entre environnement et culture au Paléolithique supérieur. Cette étude expose les résultats de l’application de la modélisation ...
