Water availability strongly influences the ecology of terrestrial birds and mammals. It will likely play an increasing role as a limiting factor as climate change and human demand make water availability scarcer. However, we lack a knowledge synthesis describing our current understanding of the use of water sources, particularly for wildlife hydrat...

Various terms have been used to highlight the ecological and conservation importance of tapirs. Some of them are more research-oriented, while others focus more on raising awareness of the importance of tapir conservation. Despite their primary use, it is highly desirable to know the extent to which these terms are supported by scientific evidence....

Water availability significantly influences bird and mammal ecology in terrestrial ecosystems. However, our understanding of the role of water as a limiting resource for birds and mammals remains partial because most of the studies have focused on surface water bodies in desert and semi-desert ecosystems. This study assessed the use of two types of...

The grison is a carnivorous mammal of the family Mustelidae listed as threatened in México. There are few records and information on different aspects of its ecology. The objective of this note was to report new records of grison in Campeche. From January 2017 to June 2022, 30 camera-trap stations were installed in natural and artificial water bodi...

Great attention has been drawn to the impacts of habitat deforestation and fragmentation on wildlife species richness. In contrast, much less attention has been paid to assessing the impacts of chronic anthropogenic disturbance on wildlife species composition and behaviour. We focused on natural small rock pools (sartenejas), which concentrate vert...

La alteración antrópica modifica el tipo de mamíferos que consumen frutos de Attalea butyracea en una selva neotropical y la intensidad con que lo hacen La pérdida del hábitat y la caza son dos de las principales causas de la disminución de mamíferos, que no solo afecta a la presencia de especies, sino también a sus funciones ecológicas. La frugivo...

Using camera traps, we documented that 21 bird and 9 mammal species use water‐filled tree holes (dendrotelmata) in the seasonal tropical forest of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, in southern Mexico. These species visited dendrotelmata primarily for foraging and drinking. The overall use of dendrotelmata was equally frequent between dry and rainy se...

Geoffroy's spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) satisfy their need for water mainly from food items and arboreal water sources, but climate change and other anthropogenic impacts can drive a more frequent use of ground water by this arboreal species. Here, we report 25 events of use of natural and artificial terrestrial water bodies by spider monkeys...

LAS SARTENEJAS DE CALAKMUL. A pesar de ubicarse en el trópico y de contar con una impresionante vegetación, la región de Calakmul dispone de poca agua accesible para la fauna silvestre. Las acumulaciones estacionales de agua de lluvia desempeñan un papel crítico para satisfacer las necesidades que aves y mamíferos tienen de este preciado líquido. D...

Capítulo 12 del libro "Fototrampeo en R: Organización y análisis de datos. Vol.I". Se ilustra el proceso para analizar datos de fototrampeo generados para documentar las características de la interacción entre mamíferos terrestres y frutos en el piso de la selva. Este estudio de caso utiliza datos provenientes de cámaras-trampa que se instalaron en...
