The relationship between the body condition of different small mammal species and the
habitat they occupy is poorly analyzed. We analyzed the body condition index, BCI, of 18 …

Abstract Much of South America consists of diverse arid and semiarid regions characterized
by high mammal endemism as a result of a complex interplay between place and lineage …

We investigated the richness, composition, and species relative abundance of a terrestrial
small mammal community in a Deciduous Forest area in the austral boundary of the Atlantic …

Habitat selection in deserts is mainly modulated by the availability of resources. The basic
hypotheses regarding coexistence of species in arid environments offer two possibilities: 1) …

Habitat partitioning is considered one of the main mechanisms of coexistence among small
mammals. This is especially evident in arid environments where resources are particularly …

The fate of dispersed seeds from mammal faeces depends both on the animal that finds the
seeds and environmental conditions. We explored the simultaneous influence of …

An individual-based model of animal dispersal and population dynamics was used to test
the effects of different climate change adaptation strategies on species range shifting ability …

Scaling biodiversity patterns has been recognized lately as a very important issue in the
search of global processes; however coexistence and assemblage patterns are typically …

Habitat conversion is among the most important causes of environmental change worldwide,
yet relatively little is known about its potential influence on trophic interactions. We …

Drylands occupy almost 50% of the Earth's surface and are increasingly affected by
extensive land uses such as grazing. These practices affect multiple biotic and abiotic …
