Abstract:The progressive fragmentation and loss of habitats represent the main threats for endangered species, causing genetic consequences that may have potential implications for a population’s long-term persistence. Large mammals are the most affected species among vertebrates. The giant armadillo
Priodontes maximus
is a large South American mammal threatened species, showing nocturnal, solitary and fossorial behavior, occurring at low population densities, and its population dynamics are stil… Show more
