“…Unlike other neotropical canids, the Bush dog has a broad head, elongated body, short snout, short limbs and tail, and small, rounded ears ( 52 ). It also has a characteristic footprint with five pads, due to the first palm digit imprint ( 53 ). Adults have a reddish coat, which can vary from darker to yellowish tones, whereas puppies are grayish ( 52 ).…”

Reproduction in South American wild canids—A review

et al. 2022

Canids occupy the top of the food chain and are fundamental in sustaining a wild animal/environmental balance. South America, the most biodiverse continent, has 11 species of canids inhabiting diverse biomes, with or without overlapping territories. Although several species are threatened, little is known about their reproductive biology. Remarkably, basic knowledge regarding ejaculate characteristics, sexual behavior, female reproductive cycles, pregnancy and management, and parturition are scarce or absent. These gaps complicate or preclude development of conservation programs. This review compiles the current knowledge of the reproductive biology of South American canids and discusses implications of this scenario.

“…The third trace was found during winter (July) of 2020 about 1.2 km from the previous ones (26°17'23.64"S, 49°8'36.41"W, 756 m a.s.l.). The identifications were confirmed through specific guides (De Angelo et al 2015;Prist et al 2020). According to these guides, the absence of interdigital membranes, trapezoidal plantar pad, greater width and less spacing between the digits, are the main characteristics of lowland tapir footprint.…”

Intense hunting pressure and habitat loss have significantly reduced populations of the lowland tapir Tapirus terrestris in southern Brazil. Remaining individuals inhabit mainly legally protected areas. Here we report the first records outside of conservation areas in the state of Santa Catarina, over the last 30 years. These records were found during a mammal monitoring program, developed between May 2018 and July 2020. The records provide new evidence of the distribution of the species in Santa Catarina and reinforce the relevance of connectivity between protected areas of the Serra do Mar Ecological Corridor.

“…The low density and home range of different mammal species, coupled with their nocturnal and crepuscular habits, hamper the conduction of inventories and require different, complementary methodologies (16) . Mammals often leave indirect signs of their presence, such as footprints, scat, burrows, claw marks on trees, and carcasses (17) . This type of evidence may allow sound identification of the animal that produced it and reveal important information about its ecology.…”

Mammals in atlantic forest remnants of Barbacena, Minas Gerais

et al. 2021

Habitat loss and fragmentation are the main causes of biodiversity decline, since changes in environmental and ecological conditions directly affect species richness, abundance, and distribution. This study aimed to identify medium- and large-sized mammals occurring in three Atlantic Forest remnants located in the Barbacena campus of the Federal Institute of Southeast Minas Gerais (IFSudesteMG). The species were recorded in track plots and through active search for direct and indirect signs. 16 species distributed in six orders and 14 families were identified, including some vulnerable and threatened species such as Lycalopex vetulus (meadow fox), Lontra longicaudis (otter), and Callicebus nigrifrons (black-fronted titi monkey). Canis familiaris (domestic dog) and Didelphis sp. (opossum) were the species most frequently observed in the track plots. The largest fragment had the greatest species richness, with 15 species, or 93.75% of the total. The number of species shared among the three sampled areas was 31.2%. The similarities identified between the fragments indicate the need for higher connectivity among them, through the creation of ecological corridors to allow the movement and, consequently, gene flux among the populations, favoring the maintenance of important ecosystem services in the region. Although small, the study area plays a major role in mammal conservation in the region, preserving species from the Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest domains. To reduce potential impacts on the local fauna, management and conservation efforts should be put forward.
