Capybaras in an anthropogenic habitat in Southeastern Brazil

Abstract: Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are widely distributed in the Neotropics, living in both natural and anthropogenic habitats. In the present study, we monitored the fluctuating capybara population at the Campus "Luiz de Queiroz", University of São Paulo, in Piracicaba, Southeastern Brazil from 1998 to 2000. To assess population fluctuation and growth rates, we used an abundance index based on direct weekly daylight counts. Population monitoring was carried out in an anthropogenic wetland associated with a… Show more

However, for arboreal mammals, forest is the habitat and herbaceous vegetation is a matrix, and thus forest patches may be more or less isolated for these species depending on how they use each matrix type (Ricketts, 2001).…”

“…Essa adaptabilidade a ambientes alterados faz com que as capivaras consigam sobreviver também nos grandes centros urbanos. Em Piracicaba/SP, foi registrada no Campus Luiz de Queiros da Universidade de São Paulo 13 , e em Curitiba/PR são comuns nos parques públicos que possuem lagos naturais e artificiais 14 . A crescente expansão das cidades e a redução das áreas naturais pressionam, cada vez mais, a vida selvagem ao convívio humano.…”
