Factors influencing the occurrence of the Endangered Baird's tapir Tapirus bairdii: Potential flagship species for a Costa Rican biological corridor
(ORYX, 2014)
Dengue fever is the fastest spreading, most prevalent and deadly arthropod-borne viral disease world-wide, present in over 125 countries. In 2013, Costa Rica is experiencing the highest number of Dengue infec-tions since ...
Camera trapping ocelots: An evaluation of felid attractants
(Hystrix, 2014)
Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) and other wild cats are often surveyed using camera traps to identify individuals for density estimation via capture-recapture analyses or estimate occupancy via detection/non-detection analyses. ...
The role of fragmentation and landscape changes in the ecological release of common nest predators in the neotropics
(PeerJ, 2014-07)
Loss of large mammalian carnivores may allow smaller mesopredators to become abundant and threaten other community members. There is considerable debate about mesopredator release and the role that other potential factors ...
Detecting river otter Lontra canadensis latrines near bridges: Does habitat and season influence survey success?
(Wildlife Biology, 2012-09)
During 2006, we conducted riparian surveys to detect river otter Lontra canadensis latrines at 15 bridge-suites along riverine habitats in southwestern Pennsylvania and western Maryland, USA. We defined a bridge-suite as ...
Integrating occupancy modeling and camera-trap data to estimate medium and large mammal detection and richness in a Central American biological corridor
(Tropical Conservation Science, 2013-12-01)
Noninvasive camera-traps are commonly used to survey mammal communities in the Neotropics. This study used camera-traps to survey medium and large mammal diversity in the San Juan - La Selva Biological Corridor, Costa Rica. ...
