Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic rainforest consists of a typical tropical rainforest on mountain
slopes, and stands out as a biodiversity hotspot for its high species richness and high level …

Rates of interfragment movements were estimated for small mammals inhabiting a group of
eight Atlantic Coastal Forest fragments, surrounded by grassland matrix, in order to …

Opossums are the most diverse and ecologically important group of New World marsupials,
although only the Virginia opossum is familiar to North American residents. In fact, many …

From the nested structure often found in biological communities, it could be expected that
the order of species loss after forest fragmentation would be predictable to some extent. This …

Abstract New World Marsupials (NWMs) comprise over 135 species ranging from Patagonia
(Argentina) to northern North America, classified within the orders Didelphimorphia …

Relationships between food habits, home range and activity of the black-eared opossum,
Didelphis aurita (Marsupialia, Didelphidae), were studied in an urban forest fragment (5 ha) …

Resource availability and reproductive activity can exert contrasting demands on
movements of promiscuous or polygynous mammals. Movements of the black-eared …

Roads and powerline corridors destroy canopy connectivity in the rainforest of north-east
Australia. We tested the hypotheses that linear barriers affect (a) the alignment of home …

Population dynamics and reproduction of four species of muroid rodents (Akodon cursor,
Bolomys lasiurus, Oligoryzomys nigripes, and Mus musculus) were studied through capture …

The conditions that a population experiences during one season can affect the strength of
density dependence in the following season. In the tropics, many populations face their …
