Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors worked with citizen scientists to survey the mammals at 2,117 sites in 32 protected areas and one urban area across 6 states in the eastern United States using camera traps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology and social organization of a tropical deer (cervus eldi thamin)
TL;DR: The observed synchrony of estrous onset (March–April) and fawning (October–November) in female thamin is unusual for a tropical cervid species, but reproductive seasonality appears timed to balance fawn survival with doe nutrition in a monsoon environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Range collapse of a tropical cervid (Cervus eldi) and the extent of remaining habitat in central Myanmar
TL;DR: The pattern of thamin decline matches predictions that peripheral, rather than central, populations are more likely to persist in declining species and may indicate the landscape features which precipitated the decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forage, Habitat use, and Sexual Segregation by a Tropical Deer (Cervus Eldi Thamin) in a Dipterocarp Forest
TL;DR: Thamin used dipterocarp forest habitat but showed some seasonal shifts and distinct individual differences in habitat use, and females were found more often in degraded forests and closer to crops than males.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammal communities are larger and more diverse in moderately developed areas.
Arielle W. Parsons,Tavis Forrester,Megan C Baker-Whatton,William J. McShea,Christopher T. Rota,Stephanie G. Schuttler,Joshua J. Millspaugh,Roland Kays,Roland Kays +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that developed areas actually had significantly higher or statistically similar mammalian occupancy, relative abundance, richness and diversity compared to wild areas.
