    Abstract: Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non‐detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non‐governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer‐reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non‐detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio‐temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large‐scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data.

    NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics
    Wiley ; 2020

    Abstract: Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal‐central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus , Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. ( n = 37,782), Sus scrofa ( n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris ( n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., S yncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans ). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set ( n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata , and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation‐related research. There are no copyright restrictions. Please cite this data paper when using the data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us on how they are using the data.

    Report of conspecific pup consumption by the crab‐eating fox Cerdocyon thous (Carnivora, Canidae)
    Wiley ; 2023

    Abstract: In the Canidae family, cases of infanticide have been recorded in populations of dingoes, wolves and red foxes. The consumption of individuals from the same species has not been recorded yet for the crab‐eating fox ( Cerdocyon thous ), a medium‐sized South American canid with generalist eating habits; however, in a semi‐arid region in north‐eastern Brazil, two C. thous faecal samples were found in August and October 2018 with fur and fragments of paws from young individuals of this species. Cases of offspring consumption have also been reported in other carnivore species from semi‐arid regions, and it is a phenomenon that might be related to the scarcity of resources and a mechanism for obtaining food. Competition for resources is also hypothesized to explain these natural events in nature, as the death of a pup results in greater access to resources for the parent and its offspring. Thus, infanticide can increase the chances of survival of the mother or the other pups.

    Abstract: There is little known about the bats of the Brazilian restinga as most studies have concentrated on the country’s south and southeast regions. In Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil, the only study previously carried out registered 17 species in different restinga habitats. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the bat community in a restinga area in Sergipe and update the list of species that occur in the area. The study was carried out in the Caju Private Natural Heritage Reserve, on the south coast of the state of Sergipe. Monthly campaigns were carried out from October 2016 to September 2017 over two consecutive nights and alternating between two sites to capture the bats. We captured Bats using 10 mist nets that remained open between 6:00 p.m. and 12:00 p.m. We determined the abundance and trophic guilds of the captured species. In addition, we obtained the occurrence frequency degree through the Constancy Index. We captured 457 individuals distributed over 13 species and two families, where three species represented a new record for the locality. The family Phyllostomidae was the richest and most abundant. Most species were frugivorous (61.5%). According to the Constancy Index, only four species were considered common. Using Jackknife 1 estimator, we estimated 14.83 species for the area, indicating that the richness obtained in this study corresponds to 87.6% of this estimate. This study resulted in an 17.6% increase in bat richness known for the area. The high representativeness of the Phyllostomidae family may be related to the capture method used. The predominance of frugivores bats in this study may be associated with the presence of many fruit trees in the area. The low occurrence of species considered common is often reported and can be explained by the species’ trophic specializations and by the sampling methods. Considering the scarcity of studies in restinga areas in Northeastern Brazil, this work becomes important for the knowledge of the bats in this environment, especially for Sergipe.

    Cephalic shield morphology as species diagnostic trait and individual natural mark in three-banded armadillos ( Tolypeutes ; Cingulata: Chlamyphoridae)
    Walter de Gruyter GmbH ; 2022
    In:  Mammalia Vol. 86, No. 6 ( 2022-11-25), p. 632-640

    In: Mammalia, Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Vol. 86, No. 6 ( 2022-11-25), p. 632-640
    Abstract: Previous studies have suggested species- and individual-specific morphologies of cephalic shields of three-banded armadillos ( Tolypeutes spp.). Central cephalic scutes would form discrete lines; the first two posterior lines being composed of one scute (1-1) in Tolypeutes matacus and one followed by two scutes (1-2) in Tolypeutes tricinctus . However, conclusions were limited to a few specimens and the T. tricinctus pattern was later observed in T. matacus . Here, we assessed the potential use of the morphology of the cephalic shield as a species diagnostic trait and individual natural mark in three-banded armadillos by quantifying their patterns in museum ( n  = 71) and field ( n  = 82) specimens. In total, 93% of T. matacus and 88% of T. tricinctus specimens presented the respective species’ character states. All specimens could be individualized based on a visual comparison of their cephalic shields. Our findings show that the morphology of cephalic shields is a species diagnostic trait and an individual natural mark in three-banded armadillos. Therefore, we add an accessible character for species diagnosis in Tolypeutes and provide an alternative to artificial marks that presents virtually no associated cost and damage to animal welfare and can be reliably applied in ecological and participatory science projects.

    Abstract: The order Chiroptera is the second in mammal species richness in Brazil and the Atlantic Forest is the biome with the best knowledge status for this group. In Sergipe, studies focused on bats are still scarce, being necessary to increase the research on such important taxon. This work aimed to conduct a bat inventory in the Refúgio de Vida Silvestre Mata do Junco (RVSMJ), which is the second largest reserve of Atlantic Forest in the state of Sergipe. Samples were obtained during two nights per month from February 2011 to February 2012, except in June. With a sampling effort of 21,168 m².h, we recorded 189 individuals of two families and 14 species. Among these, Artibeus planirostris, Chiroderma doriae, Myotis nigricans, Phyllostomus discolor, Trachops cirrhosus and Trinycteris nicefori are new occurrences for the location, being T. nicefori also new record for the state. Phyllostomidae was the richest and most abundant family, and A. lituratus (N = 67), Carollia perspicillata (N = 45), and Dermanura cinerea (N = 45) were the most abundant species. These three species accounted for 83.0% of all captured individuals, and were characterized as generalists in habitat use and diet. With respect to feeding guilds, most of the captured species are frugivores (57.1%), probably due to the methodology and existence of agricultural areas present in RVSMJ. The new records here assigned, along with the parameters obtained for richness, abundance and feeding guild, will increase our knowledge on the bats of Sergipe and can be used as a basis for conservation strategies and management at the studied site location.

    Abstract: The use of spool-and-line provides information about the movement, vertical stratification and use of shelters and nests by animals. This study evaluated the area of daily use and selection of microhabitat by the marsupial Gracilinanus agilis and the rodent Wiedomys pyrrhorhinus in northeastern Brazil. The study was conducted using the spool-and-line technique in areas of shrubby arboreal Caatinga and data were obtained on daily use, tortuosity of movement, use of the ground and vertical strata for each individual. The microhabitat was sampled through the ground cover and canopy and the vertical leaf obstruction only during the dry season. A total of 44 trajectories, totaling 2451.42 m, were evaluated. No differences were found in the movement variables between males and females of these species. The species differed only in their use of vertical strata. Gracilinanus agilis showed area of daily use values that were greater than those of W. pyrrhorhinus , and low tortuosity values could be associated with the low local population density of these species. The difference in the use of vertical strata was expected, because G. agilis is known to be a scansorial species while W. pyrrhorhinus is preferably arboreal. The absence of habitat selection suggests that these species may be performing this selection on the scale of mesohabitat.
