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 …

Carnivora species present specialisations for carnivorous diet, although their dietary
spectrum is variable: some are strictly carnivorous, others feed mostly on plants. Knowledge …

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 …

Intraguild predation (IGP) and interspecific killing (IK) have been recently acknowledged as
important ecological forces that could influence community structure. Not only can …

The impacts of ecotourism on biodiversity are poorly understood and the outcome of this
type of research is often contradictory. On the one hand ecotourism could impact the …

Forest fragmentation and defaunation are considered the main drivers of biodiversity loss,
yet the synergistic effects of landscape changes and biotic interactions on assemblage …

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 …

Mammal feces are the primary food and nesting resource for the majority of dung beetle
species, and larval development depends on the quantity and quality of that resource …

Camera trap** has been widely used to study different aspects of animal ecology,
increasing scientific knowledge and hel** in conservation initiatives. Recently, some …

Mechanisms that decrease niche overlap in at least one of its dimensions (ie, spatial,
temporal, or dietary) tend to facilitate coexistence of similar, sympatric species. We …
