Hunter decision-making influences prey selection and is key to understanding the impacts of
hunting on biodiversity. Optimal foraging theory (OFT) is often used to describe the decision …

Sodium (Na) plays a critical role in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. In Na‐poor
regions, plant consumers may experience Na deficiency and adapt by seeking …

Mineral licks, sites where animals go to consume soil, are key resources for herbivorous
birds and mammals in the Amazon, providing supplemental dietary nutrients and toxin …

This report is the first installment of a monographic study of mammalian diversity and
ethnomammalogy in a sparsely inhabited rainforest region between the Yavarí and Ucayali …

Reintroduction is a highly effective strategy for rebuilding wildlife populations and restoring
their ecosystem functions, but impacts on function are poorly documented. We addressed …

Mineral licks are essential to many species of mammals and birds in the Amazon rainforest,
including the Linnaeus's two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus). While sloths have been …

Female abundance, which is directly related to population dynamics through recruitment, is
crucial for population management, and female culling is an effective means of reducing …

Natural mineral licks are ecologically valuable resources to meet the physiological needs of
herbivores, particularly in temperate forests. Importantly, licking sites can harbor high …

Mineral licks are key ecological components of the Amazon rainforest, providing critical
dietary functions for herbivorous and frugivorous mammals and birds, which help maintain …

Abstract In the Amazon Rainforest, the sustainability of hunting is difficult to model. Accurate
sustainability models for hunting of mammal populations require a spatially explicit measure …
