Monitoring the use of a canopy bridge and underpasses by arboreal mammals on a Brazilian coastal road Open
Roads disrupt the canopy and can affect arboreal animals in different ways, such as reducing canopy connectivity, generating habitat loss and degradation, and increasing direct mortality. Since arboreal animals mainly use the canopy for mo…

Drone Surveys Revealed Bottom-Up, And Not Top-Down, Effects On The Marsh Deer Local Abundance Open
Context: Spatial variation in large herbivore populations can be highly affected by the availability of resources (bottom-up) but modulated by the presence of predators (top-down). Studying the relative influence of these forces has been a…
