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…
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) …
Protected areas are considered as one of the most effective way to conserve biodiversity. However, those areas alone are insufficient to maintain species and their ecological communities. São Paulo, the most industrialized state of the country, still has fragments of native vegetation, but only 25% are protected area. Santa Bárbara Ecological Station (SBES) has only 2.700 hectares and is …
The domestic dog (Canis familiaris) has already contributed to the extinction of 11vertebrate species around the world and is considered a threat to around 188 other species. As it is a species domesticated by humans, the increase in populations of domestic dogs hassled to an increase in studies seeking information about their interactions with wild free-living mammals. However, in Brazil…

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…
Although many mammal species have their dietary habits already described, sometimes with adequate sample sizes, there are few on the diet of the giant-anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), a species of great threatened species of extinction. This study aims to describe, through fecal analyzes, the diet of the anteater and improve the basic knowledge about the biology of this species. The ad…
