“…Population studies are further complicated by the fact that armadillos cannot be captured with commercial traps. For instance, da Silva and Henriques () used Havahart traps over 9205 trap‐nights in a study on the population ecology of Dasypus septemcinctus and reported a capture success rate of 0.23%.…”

Basic knowledge on the biology and ecology of a species is fundamental for the realistic assessment of its conservation status and for planning effective conservation strategies. The latest assessment of the 21 extant armadillo species (Xenarthra, Dasypodidae) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) for its Red List of Threatened Species shows that considerable gaps exist in our knowledge of these Neotropical mammals. Our goal was to analyse the existing literature on armadillos to define thematic and regional research priorities that will eventually benefit their conservation. We categorized 3117 publications on extant armadillos published between 1660 and 2011 according to their research topic, species studied, country and publication language. The number of publications per research topic and the number per species were very variable. The nine best‐studied species are classed as Least Concern by the IUCN, while three of the four least‐studied species are classed as Data Deficient. At least one field study was done in each range country, but over 80% of field research took place in the USA, Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia. Most research was done in the USA on leprosy in Dasypus novemcinctus. Most ecological research has been focused on four species, and data on the ecology of Data Deficient and Vulnerable taxa are virtually absent. Field research on armadillos should be intensified to broaden conservation‐relevant knowledge. Additional studies in the Guianas, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and Paraguay are urgently needed to assess the conservation status of armadillos in these regions. Future research should focus on ecology, conservation, population genetics, reproduction and threats. Species priorities should include country endemics, such as Dasypus pilosus (Peru), Tolypeutes tricinctus (Brazil) and Dasypus yepesi and Chlamyphorus truncatus (Argentina), as well as other Data Deficient and Vulnerable species, especially Cabassous centralis and Calyptophractus retusus.

“…Mammal surveys can provide information on the occurrence of the species in this group, promoting the knowledge of the composition of these animals in a given place and time (ANTUNES; ESTON, 2009;HENRIQUES, 2009;SILVEIRA et al, 2010;CARMIGNOTTO;AIRES, 2011). From this information it can be planned strategies to plans and studies applied to mammals (ARAÚJO et al, 2008;COSTA et al, 2010).…”

-Knowledge about fauna location and distribution is very important for animal biology understanding. Conservation Units are relevant to biodiversity when considering factors such as hunting, agricultural expansion and forest fires. The conservation of native vegetation fragments under more suitable management plans, recovery areas and surveys are essential to the mammals preservation. This study aimed to survey the mammals of medium and large size of the Brasilia National Forest Area 1. To carry out this study it was performed weekly rounds in search for direct and indirect mammals traces existing at forest reserve. It is reported the presence of 27 species in the study area. According to the IUCN Red List, four species are vulnerable to extinction: tapir (Tapirus terrestris), giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) and oncilla (Leopardus guttulus). Two species were recorded nearly threatened species: maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) and pampas deer (Ozotocerus bezoarticus). Also according to the same list, 48% (n=13) of species are declining in population trend and 26% (n=7) for this data is unknown. Differences in the area were observed, with mammal species presence associated to Cerrado vegetation types and in distribution of records over the period.Keywords: Mammals; Traces; Cerrado. COMPOSIÇÃO DE MÉDIOS E GRANDES MAMÍFEROS EM RESERVA FLORESTAL NO CERRADO DO BRASIL CENTRALRESUMO -O conhecimento sobre a localização e a distribuição da fauna é muito importante para entendimento da biologia animal. As Unidades de Conservação (UC) são relevantes para biodiversidade quando se consideram fatores como a caça, a expansão agropecuária e os incêndios florestais. A conservação dos fragmentos de vegetação nativa com planos de manejo mais adequados, recuperação de áreas e levantamentos, são essenciais para preservação da mastofauna. O presente estudo teve por objetivo realizar o levantamento da mastofauna de médio e grande porte da Área 1 da Floresta Nacional de Brasília. Para realização do presente estudo foram realizadas rondas semanais em busca de vestígios diretos e indiretos da mastofauna existente na UC. Foi registrada a presença de 27 espécies na área estudada. De acordo com a lista vermelha da IUCN, quatro espécies estão vulneráveis à extinção: anta (Tapirus terrestris), tamanduá-bandeira (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), tatu-canastra (Priodontes maximus) e gato-do-mato-pequeno (Leopardus guttulus). Houve registro de duas espécies quase ameaçadas: lobo-guará (Chrysocyon brachyurus) e veado campeiro (Ozotocerus bezoarticus). Ainda de acordo com a mesma lista, 48% (n=13) das espécies se encontram com tendência populacional em declínio e para 26% (n=7) esse dado é desconhecido. Foram observadas diferenças no uso da área, com a presença das espécies mais associada às fitofisionomias do Cerrado, e na forma de distribuição dos registros ao longo do período.Palavras-chave: Mastofauna; Vestígios; Cerrado. 826Revista Árvore, Viçosa-MG, v.40, n.5, p.825-832, 2016 LEITE, R.J. e...

“…The difference in the items recorded in the two sample types may be caused by variations in digestibility or mechanical resistance of the item, time of passage through the digestive tract or order of ingestion of each item (Kunz & Whitaker, 1983;Dickman & Huang, 1988;Kronfeld & Dayan, 1998). Besides contributing to the knowledge on the ecology of these species in the Caatinga, this work is one of the few existing studies on the feeding habits of D. septemcinctus and T. tricinctus (Silva, 2006). Despite the fact that their food habits are mainly insectivorous, the species studied, mainly armadillos, may play a role in seed main form of seed dispersion in the Caatinga (Griz & Machado, 2001 …”
