Scaling of Natal Dispersal Distances in Terrestrial Birds and Mammals

The impacts of unregulated sport hunting can severely affect populations of target game species. Because hunting in Brazil is limited by law, obtaining data on illegal sport hunting in this country is challenging. We used an unusual online resource, YouTube™, to detect the occurrence of sport hunting in Brazil, measure the impacts of the activity on the main Brazilian game species and biomes, evaluate the opinions of hunters and internet users on sport hunting, and discuss the need for policy interventions in wildlife conservation in this country. We found 383 videos related to Brazilian sport hunting on YouTube™, accounting for more than 15 million views. Most videos were produced in the Cerrado (Brazilian savannah) and approximately...

Natal dispersal is a process that is critical in the spatial dynamics of populations, including population spread, recolonization, and gene flow. It is a central focus of conservation issues for many vertebrate species. Using data for 77 bird and 68 mammal species, we tested whether median and maximum natal dispersal distances were correlated with body mass, diet type, social system, taxonomic family, and migratory status. Body mass and diet type were found to predict both median and maximum natal dispersal distances in mammals: large species dispersed farther than small ones, and carnivorous species dispersed farther than herbivores and omnivores. Similar relationships occurred for carnivorous bird species, but not for herbivorous or omnivorous ones....

Mammalian Herbivores in the Boreal Forests: Their Numerical Fluctuations and Use by Man

Danell, Kjell; Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences; kjell.danell@szooek.slu.se; Willebrand, Tomas; Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences; tomas.willebrand@szooek.slu.se; Baskin, Leonid; Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences; leonidBaskin@glasnet.ru.

Within the boreal zone, there are about 50 native mammalian herbivore species that belong to the orders Artiodactyla, Rodentia, and Lagomorpha. Of these species, 31 occur in the Nearctic and 24 in the Palaearctic. Only six species occur in both regions. Species of the family Cervidae have probably been, and still are, the most important group for man, as they provide both meat and hides. Pelts from squirrels, muskrats, and hares were commercially harvested at the beginning of the century, but have less value today. The semi-domestic reindeer in the Palaearctic produces meat and hides on a commercial basis. It is also used for milking, to a limited extent, as is the semi-domestic moose in Russia. The Siberian musk deer is used for its musk and is raised in...

The role of game mammals as bushmeat In the Caatinga, northeast Brazil

Molecular evidence for a recent demographic expansion in the puma (Puma concolor) (Mammalia, Felidae)

Although the use of wild mammals as a source of food has been better studied in tropical forest environments, their importance as a source of protein for human communities in semiarid environments is little known. In the latter, the availability of wild animal meat is limited in comparison to other environments. In the semiarid regions of northeastern Brazil, hunting wild mammals for their meat is traditional, playing a crucial role in the livelihoods and food security of various rural and urban communities, especially during the annual drought seasons. In this study, we investigated the role of wild mammals as bushmeat in 10 communities within the Caatinga biome in northeast Brazil. We used key-informant interviews, household surveys, and questionnaires...

The puma is an iconic predator that ranges throughout the Americas, occupying diverse habitats. Previous phylogeographic analyses have revealed that it exhibits moderate levels of genetic structure across its range, with few of the classically recognized subspecies being supported as distinct demographic units. Moreover, most of the species' molecular diversity was found to be in South America. To further investigate the phylogeographic structure and demographic history of pumas we analyzed mtDNA sequences from 186 individuals sampled throughout their range, with emphasis on South America. Our objectives were to refine the phylogeographic assessment within South America and to investigate the demographic history of pumas using a coalescent approach. Our...

We used four microsatellite loci (Fca08, Fca45, Fca77 and Fca96) from the domestic cat, Felis catus, to investigate genetic variability in specimens of Herpailurus yagouaroundi (jaguarundi, otter cat, eyra), Puma concolor (cougar, mountain lion, puma) and Panthera onca (jaguar) held in various Brazilian zoos. Samples of DNA from the cats were PCR amplified and then sequenced before being analyzed using the CERVUS program. Our results show a mean polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.83 for H. yagouaroundi, 0.66 for P. concolor and 0.69 for P. onca and a mean of 10.3 alleles for the Fca08 locus, 5.3 for Fca 45, 9 for Fca 77 and 14 for Fca 96. These results indicate a relatively high level of genetic diversity for the specimens studied.

Despite methodological and theoretical advances in conservation genetics, data on genetic variation on broad regional spatial scales are still scarce, leading conservation planners to use general heuristic or simulation models for an integrated analysis of genetic, demographic and landscape parameters. Here, we extended previous results by evaluating spatial patterns of extinction by inbreeding depression under stochastic variation of environments for mammalian populations in 31 conservation units of the Brazilian Cerrado. We observed a large spatial variation of times to extinction, for different conservation units and body-size classes of species. For small-bodied species (500 g), the population times to extinction in the conservation units were usually...

ABSTRACT Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) feeds preferably on mammal blood, including livestock animals, such as bovine cattle. In spite of using native preys in the wild, records of this feeding activity are scarce. In the present study, we investigated the foraging activity of D. rotundus based on video footage from camera traps in Atlantic Forest fragments in southern Goiás State, Brazil. Out of 23 mammal species recorded in the study area, four had interactions with Desmodus rotundus (Priodontes maximus, Tapirus terrestris, Mazama americana and Pecari tajacu). The records were obtained from early night to sunrise. There was a correlation between abundance of potential preys and the choice of the target by D. rotundus. Most of the bat-prey...

ABSTRACT Variation in body size, behavior, feeding habits and habitat use patterns in medium- and large-sized mammals influence the adequacy of sampling methods to register presence and abundance. Moreover, even if methods are similarly adequate, different methodologies result in distinct cost-efficiency relationships (i.e. some may have reduced costs, be less time-consuming and/or require less-skilled technicians). Focusing on three different sampling methods commonly used to monitor medium and large mammals in seasonal tropical forests, we compared the species richness detected by each method and quantified their cost-efficiencies: (1) camera traps; (2) line transects for direct observations of animals; and (3) line transects seeking tracks/footprints....

Mamíferos nas fazendas.

Mamíferos encontrados ao Sul do Estado do Acre, Brasil.

O monitoramento de mamíferos em fazendas é relevante tanto para a conservação da biodiversidade quanto para a geração de ações de sustentabilidade em áreas de fruticultura. Por exemplo, mamíferos carnívoros predando roedores, podem atuar no controle de pragas agrícolas. Por isso determinar quais espécies são encontradas em fazendas e em áreas de vegetação natural permite identificar as espécies e caracterizar as comunidades. Atualmente, estamos enfrentando uma crise ambiental em precedentes, a sexta extinção em massa da biodiversidade. Estima-se que a perda de espécies em um curto período de tempo equivale a processos de extinção ocorridos há milhões de anos, onde se propõe um novo período geológico: o Antropoceno, a era da humanidade. Grande parte dessas...

Protocolo: avaliação de agentes microbianos de controle de pragas para registro como biopesticidas: uma proposta para os órgãos federais registrantes: testes toxicopatológicos em mamíferos.

DRUMOND, P. M.; SILVA, F. P. C. da; ROSAS, G. K. C.; GAIA, C..

Entre os anos de 2004 e 2008, sete inventários de mamíferos foram realizados em quatro áreas sob manejo florestal madeireiro e não madeireiro localizadas ao sul do Estado do Acre. A partir de transectos lineares instalados nas áreas, foi possível identificar 32 espécies pertencentes às ordens Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Carnivora, Primates, Rodentia e Xenarthra, que incluíram as espécies ameaçadas de extinção, de distribuição geográfica restrita ou pouco conhecidas. Entre os animais observados destaca-se a predominância dos primatas nas quatro áreas estudadas. Nesse caso, especula-se sobre a possibilidade desse grupo taxonômico ser utilizado como bioindicador da qualidade ambiental das áreas de manejo florestal no Estado do Acre.
