Ecology and status of the jaguarundi Puma yagouaroundi: a synthesis of existing knowledge
TLDR
Jaguarundis occupy and use a range of habitats with dense undergrowth from northern Mexico to central Argentina, but may be most abundant in seasonal dry, Atlantic, gallery, and mixed grassland/agricultural forest landscapes.
Trophic and spatio-temporal niche of the crab-eating fox, Cerdocyon thous (Linnaeus, 1766) (Carnivora: Canidae), in a remnant of the Caatinga in northeastern Brazil
TLDR
This study aimed to characterise the ecological niche of the Cerdocyon thous species in Sergipe, in the northeastern extreme of Brazil, and found no significant variation being found in the use of habitat.
Diet of carnivorous mammals (Mammalia, Carnivora) in a Caatinga remnant, Northeastern Brazil
TLDR
Data is provided on the diet of Procyon cancrivorus, a key niche axis that may provide important insights into the ecology of carnivores.
Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) (Geoffroy, 1803) (Carnivora, Felidae) food habits in a mosaic of Atlantic Rainforest and eucalypt plantations of southeastern Brazil.
TLDR
The data show that jaguarundi prey mainly on small vertebrates (mammals, birds or reptiles), and even in tall tropical forests or eucalypt plantations, it preys mostly on animals that come to, or live on, the ground.
Temporal niche overlap among mesocarnivores in a Caatinga dry forest
TLDR
Mesocarnivores did not exhibit a significant synchrony of their activity with any of the preys evaluated, with the exception of jaguarundi, which significantly overlapped its distribution of activity with some preys.
Rarest Cat in the World ? Assessing the Conservation Status of the Javan Fishing Cat View project
Feeding ecology of carnivores (Mammalia, Carnivora) in Atlantic Forest remnants, Southern Brazil
TLDR
The diet of some sympatric carnivore species in three Atlantic Forest remnants of Southern Brazil was studied in order to assess their food niche, and puma yagouaroundi had the largest dietary niche breadth, whereas Leopardus tigrinus and Nasua nasua showed the lowest values.
First record of plastic ingestion by Cerdocyon thous (Carnivora, Canidae) in northeastern Brazil
TLDR
The first consumption of plastic by this species in the semiarid region of Brazil is reported, determined by three fragments found in the stomach of a road-killed individual, highlighting the problem of inadequate disposal of domestic waste, and the present threat of inorganic material in the food chain.
A neotropical canid as seed disperser in semiarid areas of Brazil
Human activities influence the occupancy probability of mammalian carnivores in the Brazilian Caatinga
The Caatinga is a semi‐arid domain, characterized by reduced humidity and high rates of anthropogenic impact. In addition to the low availability of water, carnivorous mammals are still exposed to a…
