Translocation and long-term monitoring of threatened thin-spined porcupines (Chaetomys subspinosus) on the Brazilian coast

Phylogenetic relationships, distribution, and conservation of Roosmalens’ dwarf porcupine, Coendou roosmalenorum Voss & da Silva, 2001 (Rodentia, Erethizontidae)

“…Therefore, it is necessary to investigate population size and decline to determine the conservation status of C. roosmalenorum more accurately following IUCN criteria. In addition to standard ecological approaches focused on erethizontids, such as visual census, telemetry, and arboreal camera traps (e.g., Giné et al 2015 ; Bowler et al 2017 ; Melo-Dias et al 2023 ), we suggest that alternative sampling methods may yield new records of this poorly known species. Thermal drones, for example, have been efficient to survey and monitor large primates and could be used for other arboreal mammals ( de Melo 2021 ).…”
