The ecology of the jaguarundi is poorly known, so I reviewed the literature for all original
data and remarks on jaguarundi observations, ecology, and behaviour, to synthesize what is …

Carnivores have long been used as model organisms to examine mechanisms that allow
coexistence among ecologically similar species. Interactions between carnivores, including …

Carnivores have been used as a model to understand the effects of competition in
community structure. Behavioral mechanisms that facilitate species coexistence have been …

The function of the mammalian baculum is a puzzling enigma in mammalian morphology.
Three hypotheses for the evolution and persistence of the mammalian baculum have been …

Competition theory and niche theory suggest that two morphologically similar species may
coexist by reducing the overlap of at least one dimension of their ecological niche. The …

São Paulo is the most developed state in Brazil and little of its native vegetation remains. In
Luiz Antonio and Santa Rita do Passa Quatro municipalities, only small fragments of cerrado …

The semi-arid Caatinga is the largest dry forest ecoregion in the Americas; nevertheless, it is
experiencing alarming rates of habitat loss. Most vegetation fragments in the biome are …

Habitat fragmentation reduces biodiversity and affects ecological processes that are
fundamental for maintaining ecosystem services. We investigated how landscape structure …

The spatiotemporal distribution of a predator within an environment tends to be
