The domestic dog (Canis familiaris) is an exotic species known to haveimpacts on native fauna and it may induce spatial and temporal segregation in other speciesas a mechanism to reduce agonistic interactions. The tayra (Eira barbara), a medium-sized,widely distributed mustelid, is one of the species that can be affected. To test this hypothesis,between 2020 and 2022, we installed camera …
Roland Kays is a renowned American researcher specialized in mammal ecology and conservation, with extensive experience in wildlife monitoring technologies, including the use of camera traps and GPS tracking. Currently, the researcher is a collaborator on the project "Impact of Domestic Dogs on Habitat Use and Activity Patterns of Endangered Species" (FAPESP Regular Process 2021/02737-7) …
The way dogs interact with wildlife may depend on the extent to which these dogs are constrained and cared for by humans (fed, sheltered, or vaccinated). The increasing number of free-ranging dogs recorded at Furnas do Bom Jesus State Park (2,069 ha) could be a serious threat to dozens of endangered species. This protected area is one of the most important in the Cerrado biome in São Paul…

The landscape structure, composition, and matrix heterogeneity can be essential characteristics determining the distribution of a species. Even though some species tolerate agricultural areas, forest cover may reach a minimum threshold value to ensure species survival in a landscape. This threshold may be lower for species requiring greater forest complexity, such as those utilizing the c…
The circadian rhythm of a species reflects an extensive programming of biological activities that addresses the opportunities and challenges posed by the periodic nature of the environment. Information on an organism's activity pattern promotes a better understanding of its basic biology, in addition to elucidating the impacts of anthropogenic activities on the behavior of affected specie…
Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) can negatively impact native wildlife, particularly harming ground-dwelling birds that may be affected by predation, nest destruction, or changes in their activity patterns. Two species that may suffer from these threats are the Bare-faced Curassow (Crax fasciolata) and the Speckled Chachalaca (Penelope superciliaris). To assess the spatiotemporal patterns…

One of the primary goals for ecologists in this century is to mitigate the biodiversity loss, and the principal step in this task is understanding their causes. Invasive species are one of the drivers of this biodiversity loss, increasingly exerting negative effects on the environment. In Brazil, two of the world's most harmful invasive species, domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and wild b…
The interactions between species can be diverse, such as predation or competition. However, contact between different species can have effects that are difficult to access, for example, when there is a change in the activity pattern of one of those involved. In addition, the avoidance or attraction of animals can occur in subtle ways, both in temporal and/or spatial matters. This project …
Habitat loss and fragmentation are primarily responsible for the reduction of populations of carnivores mammals. The scenario is even more critical in regions where agricultural expansion is intense and as a consequence species losses may be higher in biomes considered hotspots. Impacts on carnivores populations may be potentiated as a result of an increasing and significant threat, the i…
