According to Caughley (1994), the need for human intervention in the wildlife at the population level has only four alternatives: increase a population that has been depleted, decrease a population that has expanded unduly, achieving the maximum sustainable yield of a population with economic value, or just keep an "eye" in populations that do not fit these categories. It is no coincidenc…

Agriculture is one of the human activities with the greatest impact, acting as an important factor in the transformation of ecosystems. In response to new selection pressures, the colonization of new environments can create opportunities for rapid evolution. A possible occurrence of rapid evolution was observed in the study of rodents in silvicultural environments, by Rosalino et al. (201…
Low capture success rate can be a limiting factor to the success of several wildlife studies. Thus, the improvement of capture techniques, in special for predators, is necessary. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluate the attractiveness of four different types of baits on medium and large predators. For large predators we will use pen type traps, baited with chicken, pork, …
Understanding how natural values persist in anthropic landscapes is essential to assure biodiversity sustainability. Aquatic environments are one of the most sensitive to anthropic induced changes. Riparian mammals are suitable models to address animal persistence as they face multi-cause anthropic influences: ecological (agriculture, forestry and livestock productions affecting riparian …

The alteration of natural habitats is a process that has been occurring mainly due to the expansion of human activities. This process provided the conversion of native vegetation in agricultural ecosystems. Forestry plantations have been expanding in the last decades for economic reasons and the new elements in the landscape composition can influence the dynamics of animal populations. In…
