Ecology Of The Armadillos Cabassous Unicinctus And Euphractus Sexcinctus (cingulata: Dasypodidae) In A Brazilian Cerrado
2015Co-Authors: Martins E.g., Machado G., Da-silva C.q., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:We report on aspects of the ecology and natural history of 2 species of armadillos commonly found in a cerrado remnant in southeastern Brazil - the naked-tailed armadillo (Cabassous unicinctus) and the 6-banded armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus). Armadillos were captured in pitfall traps or by hand, double-marked, and the habitat (campo sujo, campo cerrado, and gallery forests), season, and time of capture were recorded. We also recorded the sex and age of all armadillos, and reproductive condition of females. Population densities were estimated as 0.27 and 0.14 individuals/ha for C. unicinctus and E. sexcinctus, respectively. E. sexcinctus did not preferentially use any of the habitats included in the study area, whereas C. unicinctus preferentially used habitats with a more complex vegetation structure, such as gallery forests. C. unicinctus was diurnal and E. sexcinctus was mainly nocturnal. Neither species changed its activity pattern with season, but C. unicinctus was more active in months with decreased abundance of arthropods - the main food resource consumed by this species. Both species of armadillos appeared to reproduce year-round. Differences in habitat use and daily activity between C. unicinctus and E. sexcinctus suggest spatial and temporal displacement between these species. © 2008 American Society of Mammalogists.891168174BAKER, R.H., May food habits of armadillo in eastern Texas (1943) American Midland Naturalist, 19, pp. 379-380BEZERRA, A.M.R., RODRIGUES, F.H.G., CARMIGNOTTO, A.P., Predation of rodents by the yellow armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus) in cerrado of the central Brazil (2001) Mammalia, 65, pp. 86-88BREECE, G.A., DUSI, J.L., Food habits and home range of the common long-nosed armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus in Alabama (1985) Evolution and ecology of sloths, armadillos and vermilinguas, pp. 419-428. , Pp, G.

Gracilinanus Microtarsus (didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)
2015Co-Authors: Pires M.m., Martins E.g., Silva M.n.f., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:Gracilinanus microtarsus (J. A. Wagner, 1842), called the Brazilian gracile opossum, is a small didelphid that is 1 of 6 species in the genus Gracilinanus. It is a sexually dimorphic, solitary marsupial that has a highly seasonal reproductive pattern. It inhabits Atlantic rain forests and semideciduous forests interspersed in the highly seasonal cerrado (savanna-like vegetation) in southeastern and southern Brazil. It prefers locations associated with low canopy cover and it also occurs in habitats altered by anthropogenic events. The species is classified as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. © 25 March 2010 by the American Society of Mammalogists.428513340Astú, A.D., Leiner, N.O., Tooth eruption sequence and replacement pattern in woolly opossums, genus Caluromys (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) (2008) Journal of Mammalogy, 89, pp. 244-251De Ávila-Pires, F.D., Tipos de mamíferos recentes no Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro (1968) Arquivos Do Museu Nacional, 53, pp. 161-191Brito, D., Astúa De Moraes, D., Lew, D., Soriano, P., Gracilinanus microtarsus (2008) International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources 2009, , www.iucnredlist.org, IUCN Red list of threatened species.

Geographic Variation In Cranial Morphology In Thrichomys Apereoides (rodentia: Echimyidae). I. Geometric Descriptors And Patterns Of Variation In Shape
2015Co-Authors: Dos Reis S.f., Duarte L.c., Monteiro L.r., Von Zuben F.j.Abstract:Geometric descriptors were used to describe variation in cranial shape within and among populations of the echimyid rodent Thrichomys apereoides from localities in northeastern, central, and southeastern Brazil. Variation in shape based on dorsal, ventral, and lateral views of the skull, as inferred from contribution of uniform components and partial warps, was attributable to localized rather than global changes in morphology of the skull. Each view of the skull showed characteristic variability in shape among populations and provided different perspectives on patterns of geographic variation. The lateral view of the skull provided the most information content in terms of populations that share similarity in cranial shape and continuity over geographic space.832333344Anderson, S., Mammals of Bolivia: Taxonomy and distribution (1997) Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 231, pp. 1-652Atchley, W.R., Cowley, D.E., Vogl, C., McLellan, T., Evolutionary divergence, shape change, and genetic correlation structure in the rodent mandible (1992) Systematic Biology, 41, pp. 196-221Atchley, W.R., Hall, B.K., A model for development and evolution of complex morphological structures (1991) Biological Reviews, 66, pp. 101-157Bookstein, F.L., (1991) Morphometric tools for landmark data: geometry and biology, , Cambridge University Press, London, United KingdomBookstein, F.L., Biometrics, biomathematics and the morphometric synthesis (1996) Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 58, pp. 313-365Bookstein, F.L., Combining the tools of geometric morphometrics (1996) Advances in morphometrics, pp. 131-151. , (L.

Congruence Of Hierarchical, Localized Variation In Cranial Shape And Molecular Phylogenetic Structure In Spiny Rats, Genus Trinomys (rodentia: Echimyidae)
2015Co-Authors: Nicola P.a., Monteiro L.r., Von Zuben F.j., Pessoa L.m., Rohlf F.j., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:Congruence between patterns of localized, hierarchical variation in cranial shape and topological, molecular phylogenetic structure was investigated in a monophyletic lineage of Neotropical spiny rats of the genus Trinomys. Levels of organizational complexity in shape were assessed from two-dimensional coordinates of anatomical landmarks for dorsal, ventral and lateral views of the cranium, and the scale of variation in cranial shape was decomposed hierarchically using the statistical formalism of geometric morphometrics. The patterns of variation in cranial shape were evaluated for the five taxa of Trinomys in terms of ordinations in the reduced space of relative warps, with the scores of partial warps weighted to emphasize the hierarchical localization of shape differences in different geometric scales. The fit of the morphological shape data to the molecular phylogeny and analysis of the correlation between measures of the differences in shape and molecular phylogenetic distances demonstrated that only variation in small, localized scales in cranial shape in the lateral view of the cranium was congruent with molecular phylogenetic structure. The significance and perspectives of the application of geometric descriptors of shape and the identification of scales of variation for the study of morphological and molecular evolution are discussed. © 2003 The Linnean Society of London.803385396Ab'Saber, A.N., O domínio morfo-climático semi-árido das caatingas brasileiras (1974) Geomorfologia, 43, pp. 1-39Adams, D.C., Funk, D.J., Morphometric inferences on sibling species and sexual dimorphism in Neochlamisus bebbianae leaf beetles: Multivariate applications of the thin-plate spline (1997) Systematic Biology, 46, pp. 180-194Adams, D.C., Rohlf, F.J., Ecological character displacement in Plethodon: Biomechanical differences found from a geometric morphometric study (2000) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 97, pp. 4106-4111Atchley, W.R., Cowley, D.E., Vogl, C., Mclellan, T., Evolutionary divergence, shape change, and genetic correlation structure in the rodent mandible (1992) Systematic Biology, 41, pp. 196-221Barrier, M., Robichaux, R.H., Purugganan, M.D., Accelerated regulatory gene evolution in adaptive radiation (2001) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 98, pp. 10208-10213Bar-Yam, Y., (1997) Dynamics of Complex Systems, , Reading: Perseus BooksBergallo, H.G., Magnusson, W.E., Effects of climate and food availability on four rodent species in southeastern Brazil (1999) Journal of Mammalogy, 80, pp. 472-486Blelloch, R., Kimble, J., Control of organ shape by a secreted metalloprotease in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (1999) Nature, 399, pp. 586-590Bookstein, F.L., Principal warps: Thin-plate splines and the decomposition of deformations (1989) Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 11, pp. 567-585Bookstein, F.L., (1991) Morphometric Tools for Landmark Data, , New York: Cambridge University PressBookstein, F.L., Biometrics, biomathematics and the morphometric synthesis (1996) Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 58, pp. 313-365Bookstein, F.L., Creases as local features of deformation grids (2000) Medical Image Analysis, 4, pp. 93-100Bronner-Fraser, M., Sternberg, P.W., Pattern formation and developmental mechanisms - The cell biological basis of inductive signaling (2000) Current Opinion in Genetics and Development, 10, pp. 347-349Carleton, M.D., Systematics and evolution (1988) Advances in the Study of Peromyscus (Rodentia), pp. 7-140. , Kirkland GL Jr, Layne JN, eds.

Ecology Of The Armadillos Cabassous Unicinctus And Euphractus Sexcinctus (cingulata: Dasypodidae) In A Brazilian Cerrado
2015Co-Authors: Martins E.g., Machado G., Da-silva C.q., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:We report on aspects of the ecology and natural history of 2 species of armadillos commonly found in a cerrado remnant in southeastern Brazil - the naked-tailed armadillo (Cabassous unicinctus) and the 6-banded armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus). Armadillos were captured in pitfall traps or by hand, double-marked, and the habitat (campo sujo, campo cerrado, and gallery forests), season, and time of capture were recorded. We also recorded the sex and age of all armadillos, and reproductive condition of females. Population densities were estimated as 0.27 and 0.14 individuals/ha for C. unicinctus and E. sexcinctus, respectively. E. sexcinctus did not preferentially use any of the habitats included in the study area, whereas C. unicinctus preferentially used habitats with a more complex vegetation structure, such as gallery forests. C. unicinctus was diurnal and E. sexcinctus was mainly nocturnal. Neither species changed its activity pattern with season, but C. unicinctus was more active in months with decreased abundance of arthropods - the main food resource consumed by this species. Both species of armadillos appeared to reproduce year-round. Differences in habitat use and daily activity between C. unicinctus and E. sexcinctus suggest spatial and temporal displacement between these species. © 2008 American Society of Mammalogists.891168174BAKER, R.H., May food habits of armadillo in eastern Texas (1943) American Midland Naturalist, 19, pp. 379-380BEZERRA, A.M.R., RODRIGUES, F.H.G., CARMIGNOTTO, A.P., Predation of rodents by the yellow armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus) in cerrado of the central Brazil (2001) Mammalia, 65, pp. 86-88BREECE, G.A., DUSI, J.L., Food habits and home range of the common long-nosed armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus in Alabama (1985) Evolution and ecology of sloths, armadillos and vermilinguas, pp. 419-428. , Pp, G.

Gracilinanus Microtarsus (didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)
2015Co-Authors: Pires M.m., Martins E.g., Silva M.n.f., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:Gracilinanus microtarsus (J. A. Wagner, 1842), called the Brazilian gracile opossum, is a small didelphid that is 1 of 6 species in the genus Gracilinanus. It is a sexually dimorphic, solitary marsupial that has a highly seasonal reproductive pattern. It inhabits Atlantic rain forests and semideciduous forests interspersed in the highly seasonal cerrado (savanna-like vegetation) in southeastern and southern Brazil. It prefers locations associated with low canopy cover and it also occurs in habitats altered by anthropogenic events. The species is classified as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. © 25 March 2010 by the American Society of Mammalogists.428513340Astú, A.D., Leiner, N.O., Tooth eruption sequence and replacement pattern in woolly opossums, genus Caluromys (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) (2008) Journal of Mammalogy, 89, pp. 244-251De Ávila-Pires, F.D., Tipos de mamíferos recentes no Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro (1968) Arquivos Do Museu Nacional, 53, pp. 161-191Brito, D., Astúa De Moraes, D., Lew, D., Soriano, P., Gracilinanus microtarsus (2008) International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources 2009, , www.iucnredlist.org, IUCN Red list of threatened species.

Seasonality In Reproduction, Age Structure And Density Of The Gracile Mouse Opossum Gracilinanus Microtarsus (marsupialia: Didelphidae) In A Brazilian Cerrado
2015Co-Authors: Martins E.g., Da-silva C.q., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:The temporal pattern of reproduction and its consequences for age structure and density were investigated in a population of the gracile mouse opossum Gracilinanus microtarsus in south-eastern Brazil. Individuals of G. microtarsus were monitored through capture-mark-recapture methods from August 2000 to February 2003 in a remnant of cerradão, a forest-like physiognomy of the highly seasonal cerrado biome. The temporal pattern of reproduction of the population studied was highly seasonal with rearing of the offspring occurring in the first half of the warm-wet season, when the abundance of food resources - primarily insects - in the cerrado is high. Shortly after reproduction, the density of adults decreased sharply, possibly because of high post-mating mortality, leading to a gradual replacement of adults by their offspring in the following months and little overlap of generations. Our data suggest that climatic and environmental factors affect the onset of reproduction and interact with endogenous factors that decrease post-mating survival to produce the observed pattern of seasonal variation in age structure and density. It is suggested that the dynamics of populations of G. microtarsus may be driven primarily by food limitation and that long-term studies are needed to understand its feedback structure.

Geographic Variation In Cranial Morphology In Thrichomys Apereoides (rodentia: Echimyidae). I. Geometric Descriptors And Patterns Of Variation In Shape
2015Co-Authors: Dos Reis S.f., Duarte L.c., Monteiro L.r., Von Zuben F.j.Abstract:Geometric descriptors were used to describe variation in cranial shape within and among populations of the echimyid rodent Thrichomys apereoides from localities in northeastern, central, and southeastern Brazil. Variation in shape based on dorsal, ventral, and lateral views of the skull, as inferred from contribution of uniform components and partial warps, was attributable to localized rather than global changes in morphology of the skull. Each view of the skull showed characteristic variability in shape among populations and provided different perspectives on patterns of geographic variation. The lateral view of the skull provided the most information content in terms of populations that share similarity in cranial shape and continuity over geographic space.832333344Anderson, S., Mammals of Bolivia: Taxonomy and distribution (1997) Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 231, pp. 1-652Atchley, W.R., Cowley, D.E., Vogl, C., McLellan, T., Evolutionary divergence, shape change, and genetic correlation structure in the rodent mandible (1992) Systematic Biology, 41, pp. 196-221Atchley, W.R., Hall, B.K., A model for development and evolution of complex morphological structures (1991) Biological Reviews, 66, pp. 101-157Bookstein, F.L., (1991) Morphometric tools for landmark data: geometry and biology, , Cambridge University Press, London, United KingdomBookstein, F.L., Biometrics, biomathematics and the morphometric synthesis (1996) Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 58, pp. 313-365Bookstein, F.L., Combining the tools of geometric morphometrics (1996) Advances in morphometrics, pp. 131-151. , (L.

Congruence Of Hierarchical, Localized Variation In Cranial Shape And Molecular Phylogenetic Structure In Spiny Rats, Genus Trinomys (rodentia: Echimyidae)
2015Co-Authors: Nicola P.a., Monteiro L.r., Von Zuben F.j., Pessoa L.m., Rohlf F.j., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:Congruence between patterns of localized, hierarchical variation in cranial shape and topological, molecular phylogenetic structure was investigated in a monophyletic lineage of Neotropical spiny rats of the genus Trinomys. Levels of organizational complexity in shape were assessed from two-dimensional coordinates of anatomical landmarks for dorsal, ventral and lateral views of the cranium, and the scale of variation in cranial shape was decomposed hierarchically using the statistical formalism of geometric morphometrics. The patterns of variation in cranial shape were evaluated for the five taxa of Trinomys in terms of ordinations in the reduced space of relative warps, with the scores of partial warps weighted to emphasize the hierarchical localization of shape differences in different geometric scales. The fit of the morphological shape data to the molecular phylogeny and analysis of the correlation between measures of the differences in shape and molecular phylogenetic distances demonstrated that only variation in small, localized scales in cranial shape in the lateral view of the cranium was congruent with molecular phylogenetic structure. The significance and perspectives of the application of geometric descriptors of shape and the identification of scales of variation for the study of morphological and molecular evolution are discussed. © 2003 The Linnean Society of London.803385396Ab'Saber, A.N., O domínio morfo-climático semi-árido das caatingas brasileiras (1974) Geomorfologia, 43, pp. 1-39Adams, D.C., Funk, D.J., Morphometric inferences on sibling species and sexual dimorphism in Neochlamisus bebbianae leaf beetles: Multivariate applications of the thin-plate spline (1997) Systematic Biology, 46, pp. 180-194Adams, D.C., Rohlf, F.J., Ecological character displacement in Plethodon: Biomechanical differences found from a geometric morphometric study (2000) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 97, pp. 4106-4111Atchley, W.R., Cowley, D.E., Vogl, C., Mclellan, T., Evolutionary divergence, shape change, and genetic correlation structure in the rodent mandible (1992) Systematic Biology, 41, pp. 196-221Barrier, M., Robichaux, R.H., Purugganan, M.D., Accelerated regulatory gene evolution in adaptive radiation (2001) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 98, pp. 10208-10213Bar-Yam, Y., (1997) Dynamics of Complex Systems, , Reading: Perseus BooksBergallo, H.G., Magnusson, W.E., Effects of climate and food availability on four rodent species in southeastern Brazil (1999) Journal of Mammalogy, 80, pp. 472-486Blelloch, R., Kimble, J., Control of organ shape by a secreted metalloprotease in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (1999) Nature, 399, pp. 586-590Bookstein, F.L., Principal warps: Thin-plate splines and the decomposition of deformations (1989) Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 11, pp. 567-585Bookstein, F.L., (1991) Morphometric Tools for Landmark Data, , New York: Cambridge University PressBookstein, F.L., Biometrics, biomathematics and the morphometric synthesis (1996) Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 58, pp. 313-365Bookstein, F.L., Creases as local features of deformation grids (2000) Medical Image Analysis, 4, pp. 93-100Bronner-Fraser, M., Sternberg, P.W., Pattern formation and developmental mechanisms - The cell biological basis of inductive signaling (2000) Current Opinion in Genetics and Development, 10, pp. 347-349Carleton, M.D., Systematics and evolution (1988) Advances in the Study of Peromyscus (Rodentia), pp. 7-140. , Kirkland GL Jr, Layne JN, eds.

Environmental Correlates Of Geographical Variation In Skull And Mandible Shape Of The Punaré Rat Thrichomys Apereoides (rodentia: Echimyidae)
2015Co-Authors: Monteiro L.r., Duarte L.c., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:The pattern of correlations between geographic-environmental variables and geometric shape descriptors for the skull and mandible of Thrichomys apereoides was studied by recently developed combinations of geometry and multivariate statistical techniques. Environmental variables were obtained for each locality: altitude, mean temperature, rainfall, human population density, and vegetation type. The three views of the skull (dorsal, lateral and ventral) and the mandible were significantly associated with a latitudinal environmental gradient along the diagonal of open areas (caatinga and cerrado) throughout the range sampled. The populations from xeric environments presented relatively larger coronoid processes, larger jugals and wider snouts (related to the activity of jaw closing muscles). A correlation of patterns of shape variation from data sets of different skull views showed that lateral skull shape is the most informative view. Further studies are necessary to separate completely the contribution of genetic and environmental components to skull and mandible shape divergence among populations of T. apereoides.26114757Adams, D.C., Rohlf, F.J., Ecological character displacement in Plethodon: Biomechanical differences found from a geometric morphometric study (2000) Proc.

Morphological Evolution In The Mandible Of Spiny Rats, Genus Trinomys (rodentia: Echimyidae)
2015Co-Authors: Monteiro L.r., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:The development and evolution of the rodent mandible have been studied in depth in recent years. The mandible is a complex structure because it consists of six morphogenetic components formed by different condensations of mesenchymal cells. Using recent techniques for the geometric analysis of shape, we have combined developmental information with a powerful quantification of shape variation and an independent estimate of phylogeny (molecular data) to assess the evolutionary patterns of shape change in mandibles of the rodent genus Trinomys. In general, the major trends in shape variation did not agree with the expected phylogenetic pattern. However, for small-scale morphological differences, one species (T. yonenagae) was responsible for the lack of association between morphology and molecular divergence. This species is genetically similar to but morphologically different from other Trinomys. The coronoid process was considered to be the most conservative morphogenetic component in the mandible. © 2005 Blackwell Verlag.434332338Atchley, W.R., Genetic and developmental aspects of variability in the mammalian mandible (1993) The Vertebrate Skull, pp. 207-247. , Hanken, J.Hall, B.

Pequenos mamíferos (Didelphimorphia, Chiroptera e Rodentia) em egagropilos de Tyto furcata (coruja-das-igrejas) (Aves, Tytonidae) do sul do Brasil
2018Co-Authors: Cherem, Jorge José, Hadler Patrícia, Stutz, Narla Shannay, Pardiñas, Ulyses F. J.Abstract:The study of small mammals in owl pellets, especially of the genus Tyto, is considered a useful and complementary tool in Mammalogy. However, few studies using this kind of information have been conducted in southern Brazil. We analyzed craniodental remains of small mammals in Tyto furcata pellets from seven locations in the three southern Brazilian states. In all, 2,382 individuals belonging to 29 taxa were recorded, including 5 marsupials (Didelphidae; 1.39% of individuals), 4 chiropterans (Molossidae, Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae; 0.25%), and 20 rodents (Cricetidae, Muridae, Caviidae and Echimyidae; 98.36%). The rodents Akodon spp., Oligoryzomys sp. and Mus musculus were the most common taxa. The sample also included taxa with few recorded localities previously published, such as the rodents Bibimys sp., Calomys tener and Wilfredomys oenax. The richness of small mammals obtained in the samples studied corroborates the utility and importance of analyzing pellets of birds of prey. In addition, our contribution highlights the need for more detailed studies on the morphology and identification of several mammalian species, such as those of the genera Akodon and Oligoryzomys, considering the fragmentary nature of the specimens retrieved from pellets. A análise e identificação de pequenos mamíferos em egagropilos de coruja, em especial do gênero Tyto, são consideradas uma ferramenta útil e complementar na mastozoologia. No entanto, poucos estudos deste tipo têm sido desenvolvidos no sul do Brasil. Foram analisados os fragmentos cranianos e mandibulares de pequenos mamíferos encontrados em egagropilos de Tyto furcata coletados em sete localidades dos três estados do sul do país. Ao todo, foram contabilizados 2.382 indivíduos pertencentes a 29 táxons, incluindo cinco marsupiais (Didelphidae; 1,39% dos indivíduos), quatro quirópteros (Molossidae, Phyllostomidae e Vespertilionidae; 0,25%) e 20 roedores (Cricetidae, Muridae, Caviidae e Echimyidae; 98,36%). Os roedores Akodon spp., Oligoryzomys sp. e Mus musculus foram os táxons mais comuns. A amostra inclui espécies com poucos registros para o sul do Brasil, como Bibimys sp., Calomys tener e Wilfredomys oenax. A riqueza de pequenos mamíferos obtida nessas amostras corrobora a utilidade e importância da análise de egagropilos de aves de rapina. Ainda assim, são necessários estudos mais detalhados sobre a morfologia e identificação das espécies, como de Akodon e Oligoryzomys, considerando-se a natureza fragmentária do material nos egagropilos

Gracilinanus Microtarsus (didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)
2015Co-Authors: Pires M.m., Martins E.g., Silva M.n.f., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:Gracilinanus microtarsus (J. A. Wagner, 1842), called the Brazilian gracile opossum, is a small didelphid that is 1 of 6 species in the genus Gracilinanus. It is a sexually dimorphic, solitary marsupial that has a highly seasonal reproductive pattern. It inhabits Atlantic rain forests and semideciduous forests interspersed in the highly seasonal cerrado (savanna-like vegetation) in southeastern and southern Brazil. It prefers locations associated with low canopy cover and it also occurs in habitats altered by anthropogenic events. The species is classified as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. © 25 March 2010 by the American Society of Mammalogists.428513340Astú, A.D., Leiner, N.O., Tooth eruption sequence and replacement pattern in woolly opossums, genus Caluromys (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) (2008) Journal of Mammalogy, 89, pp. 244-251De Ávila-Pires, F.D., Tipos de mamíferos recentes no Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro (1968) Arquivos Do Museu Nacional, 53, pp. 161-191Brito, D., Astúa De Moraes, D., Lew, D., Soriano, P., Gracilinanus microtarsus (2008) International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources 2009, , www.iucnredlist.org, IUCN Red list of threatened species.

Young Didelphid Consumption By Micoureus Paraguayanus (didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) In Southeastern Brazil [consumo De Crías De Didélfidos Por Micoureus Paraguayanus (didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) En El Sudeste De Brasil]
2015Co-Authors: Pires M.m., Martins E.g., Silva M.n.f., Cruz L.d., Fernandes F.r., Clemente-carvalho R.b.g., Dos Reis S.f.Abstract:In a study aiming to describe the diet of Micoureus paraguayanus in a southeastern Brazilian Cerrado (savannah-like) remnant, we found young didelphid remains in fecal samples from live-trapped adults. These findings uncovered either events of scavenging on dead young didelphids or infanticide adding to the knowledge on the dietary breadth and behavioral ecology of M. paraguayanus. © SAREM, 2010.171183187Astúa de Moraes, D., Santori, R.T., Finotti, R., Cerqueira, R., Nutritional and fibre contents of laboratory-established diets of Neotropical opossums (Didelphidae) (2003) Predators with Pouches: The Biology of Carnivorous Marsupials, pp. 229-237. , (M Jones, C Dickman, and M Archer, eds.).
