The meat of wild species, referred to in this report as ‘wild meat’, is an essential source of protein and a generator of income for millions of forest-living communities in tropical and subtropical regions. However, unsustainable harvest rates curre... Read More about Toward a sustainable, participatory and inclusive wild meat sector.

Urban wild meat consumption and trade in central Amazonia (2019)
Journal Article
Rocha El Bizri, H., Morcatty, T., Valsecchi, J., & Mayor, P. (2019). Urban wild meat consumption and trade in central Amazonia. Conservation Biology, 34(2), 438-448. https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.13420

The switch from hunting wild meat for home consumption to supplying more lucrative city markets in Amazonia can adversely affect some game species. Despite this, information on the amounts of wild meat eaten in Amazonian cities is still limited. We e... Read More about Urban wild meat consumption and trade in central Amazonia.

Embryonic and fetal development of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) (2019)
Journal Article
Mayor, P., da Silva, G., Andrade, R., Monteiro, F., & Rocha El Bizri, H. (2019). Embryonic and fetal development of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu). Animal Reproduction Science, 208, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2019.106123

The relative timing of the main fetal development events in species determine the extent of fetal development at birth, which range along a gradient of having altricial and precocial traits. The results from this study allow for description of import... Read More about Embryonic and fetal development of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu).

Assessing the minimum sampling effort required to reliably monitor wild meat trade in urban markets (2019)
Journal Article
Mayor, P., Rocha El Bizri, H., Morcatty, T., Moya, K., Solis, S., & Bodmer, R. (2019). Assessing the minimum sampling effort required to reliably monitor wild meat trade in urban markets. Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 7, https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2019.180

The trade of wild meat generates great economic returns for local communities but at a cost of increasing harvest rates of game species. Monitoring wild meat trade in urban markets is a low-cost method that can be employed to assess impacts of huntin...

Embryonic and fetal development of the red brocket deer (Mazama americana) (2019)
Journal Article
Mayor, P., Pereira, T., Andrade, R., Gonzalez-Benavent, E., Monteiro, F., Bodmer, R., …Rocha El Bizri, H. (2019). Embryonic and fetal development of the red brocket deer (Mazama americana). Theriogenology, 134, 53-64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2019.05.015

The red brocket deer (Mazama americana), a medium-sized Neotropical ungulate, is one of the most hunted mammals in the Amazon. This study analyzes the intrauterine development in the red brocket deer through the description of the external and intern...

Long-term population monitoring of the threatened and endemic black-headed squirrel monkey (Saimiri vanzolinii) shows the importance of protected areas for primate conservation in Amazonia (2019)
Journal Article
Paim, F., Rocha El Bizri, H., Paglia, A., & Quieroz, H. (2019). Long-term population monitoring of the threatened and endemic black-headed squirrel monkey (Saimiri vanzolinii) shows the importance of protected areas for primate conservation in Amazonia. American Journal of Primatology, 81(6), https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.22988

Population monitoring of endangered species is essential to the improvement of their management and conservation plans. The black-headed squirrel monkey (Saimiri vanzolinii) is a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List and has extreme geographical en...

Animal Reproduction Science, 205, 105-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2019.04.009

Generation length (GL) of a mammal, calculated through the age at sexual maturity, first reproduction and reproductive senescence can be used to assess the capacity of a population of a species to withstand differing amounts of hunting pressure by hu...
