Neotropical Mammals, 1st ed. 2023 Hierarchical Analysis of Occupancy and Abundance
Langue : Anglais
Coordonnateurs : Mandujano Salvador, Naranjo Eduardo J., Andrade Ponce Gabriel P.
This book reviews and synthesizes studies on local and regional occupancy and abundance of Neotropical mammals from central Mexico to South America. The book focuses primarily on addressing issues of a wide array of mammalian species from a population level in different habitats and ecosystems across the Neotropical region. Occupancy and abundance analyzed through hierarchical approaches with a variety of statistical tools are the central ecological parameters treated in the chapters of this volume. This book will be an updated reference for researchers, professionals, students, wildlife managers, and people interested in mammal ecology and conservation in tropical and subtropical regions.
Part I. Literature reviews.- 1. Introductory issues on hierarchical analysis of occupancy and abundance of the Neotropical mammals.- 2.

Modelling the abundance and spatial distribution of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe) in Patagonia: a review and future perspectives.- 6. Survey methods and hierarchical modeling for Mexican primates.- 7. Abundance, density, and occupancy of ungulates in the Maya Forest: A review.- Part II. Case studies.- 8. Factors influencing habitat occupancy by the spotted paca (Cuniculus paca) in Oaxaca, Mexico.- 9. Jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Llanos of Colombia and Venezuela: estimating distribution and population size by combining different modellingapproaches.- 10. Using camera trap data to simultaneously estimate jaguar (Panthera onca) density and resource selection in the Paraguayan Dry Chaco.- 11. Abundance of Coimbra-Filho’s titi monkey in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil: use of N-mixture models for acoustic playback survey data.- 12. Modeling density and habitat preference of the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque) in northern Peru using spatial mark-resight and occupancy models.- 13. Interweaving scientific and local ecological knowledge through studying the salience of wild mammals in two protected areas in the Monte ecoregion of Argentina.- 14. Occupancy modeling reveals that landscape-scale drive habitat use by white-tailed deer in the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico.- 15. Overview of hierarchical models and future directions in the study of Neotropical mammals.
Salvador Mandujano is a Senior Researcher in the Red de Biología y Conservación de Vertabrados at Instituto de Ecología A.C., México. He is a member of Mexico’s Researchers National System (SNI-II). Has a degree in Biology from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Unidad Xochimilco, and Master's and PhD in Biological Sciences from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. His main research interests include population ecology, conservation, and management of mammals, especially ungulates (white-tailed deer, brocket deer, and collared peccary) in dry tropical forests. He is particularly interested in current methodologies for the assessment of distribution and abundance at different spatial (metapopulation models) and temporal (demographic models) scales using various techniques including photo-trapping and quantitative data analysis in the R program. Other interests include population viability analyses in fragmented landscapes, deer-livestock interactions, training workshops for sustainable use in extensive UMAs and protected areas, and dissemination of scientific information through different media.
Eduardo J. Naranjo received a Ph.D. in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida, Gainesville in 2002, and a Master’s in Wildlife Management at Costa Rica’s Universidad Nacional in 1994. He has been a Senior Researcher in the Department of Biodiversity Conservation at El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (Chiapas, Mexico) since 1995. He was faculty in Biology at the Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas, Mexico for 34 years, and has been a visiting professor in universities of Canada, Costa Rica, Peru, USA, and UK. He was president of the Mexican Association of Mammalogists (AMMAC, 2004-2006), and is a member of the IUCN Tapir and Peccary Specialist Groups, and Mexico’s Researchers National System (SNI). His research interests include wildlife population ecology, management, sustainable use, and cons
This book addresses habitat occupancy and population abundance, central parameters for mammal conservation and management Hierarchical models are widely used to obtain robust estimates and inferences on the occupancy and abundance of mammals at various scales. The chapters cover a broad region from the Mexican deserts to the Peruvian andes and the Amazon rainforest
