Abstract: figure) ABSTRACTThe pantanal is a large savanna wetland (138,183 km 2 in brazil), important for its wildlife, fed by tributaries of the upper paraguay River, center of south america (brazil, touching bolivia and paraguay). uplands are plateaus (250-1,200 m high, 215,000 km 2 in brazil) and flatland is the pantanal (80-150 m high, 147,574 km 2 in brazil). Rivers are slow moving when they meet the flatland (slope 0.3-0.5 m/km east-west; 0.03-0.15 m/km north-south), periodically overflowing their banks, creating… Show more

“…The observed abundance of some species in the Pantanal habitats reveals that only a few species are common -for example the capybara Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, the crab-eating fox Cerdocyon thous, and the flat-faced fruit-eating bat Artibeus planirostris -whereas some are rare or intrinsically rare -for example, the bush dog Speothos venaticus (Alho et al, 1988Mamede and Alho, 2006;Alho, 2005aAlho, , 2008Teixeira et al, 2009). pasture of the seasonal flooding open fields.…”

“…pasture of the seasonal flooding open fields. In fact, higher densities of other mammal species occur during the dry season (August and September), when there is a considerable expansion of terrestrial habitats, mainly seasonally flooded grassland, due to the shrinking-and-expansion of habitats related to the flooding pulse (Mamede and Alho, 2006).…”
