“…According to Anacleto & Marinho-Filho (2001), high densities of the species can be observed in Goiás, but their populations have been drastically reduced, being listed as vulnerable (VU) (ICMBio/MMA 2018; IUCN 2020). Habitat loss, fragmentation, fires and roadkill are the main threats for the species (Silveira et al 1999;Hannibal et al 2018;Lemos et al 2020).…”

The state of Goiás, in central Brazil, is covered mainly by the Cerrado domain, with the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest occupying its central-southern portion. Goiás is one of the 20 Brazilian federative units without a mammal checklist. In this study, we provide the first checklist of mammals from Goiás state. We recorded mammal species based primarily on the analysis of specimens housed in scientific collections as well as on literature with associated voucher material. We listed 191 mammalian species belonging to 125 genera, 31 families and 10 orders, which represents 25.2% of the mammal species occurring in Brazil. The most speciose orders were Chiroptera (90 spp.), followed by Rodentia (43 spp.), Carnivora (19 spp.) and Didelphimorphia (17 spp.). The following orders accounted for a smaller portion of the state diversity: Cetartiodactyla (7 spp.), Cingulata (7 spp.), Primates (4 spp.), Pilosa (2 spp.), Lagomorpha (1 sp.), and Perissodactyla (1 sp.). A total of 28 species (14.7%), mainly represented by medium and large-sized mammals, are nationally threatened while 12 (6.3%) are globally threatened. Our results indicate great portions of the state lacking a proper survey of mammals, especially the northwestern portion. We discuss species richness, distribution and conservation status of the mammals of Goiás state in national and regional scenarios. We highlight the need for mammal inventories based on complementary survey techniques with the collection of vouchers in order to provide karyologic, molecular, morphologic, parasitologic, and ecological data. These informations are the basis for integrative studies that lead to the understanding of current mammalian richness and diversity. Indeed, knowledge on species richness distribution in the state will guide conservation strategies, especially in areas undergoing habitat loss and fragmentation, such as the central-southern portion of Goiás.

“…Isso reflete um padrão global de ameaças para mamíferos (Hoffmann et al 2010, Parry & Peres 2015. Recentemente Priodontes maximus teve novas localidades de registro no MS baseadas em animais vítimas de atropelamento, que tem efeito drástico devido à baixa densidade da espécie (Hannibal et al 2018). Ações educativas, de fiscalização e mitigação dessas ameaças identificadas devem ser realizadas antes que venham a causar maiores danos a biodiversidade local, ecossistemas e processos ecológicos nos quais elas participam.…”

A perda e fragmentação de habitats constitui uma das maiores ameaças à fauna, principalmente aos mamíferos terrestres de médio e grande porte. Considerando as ameaças contínuas que os remanescentes de Cerrado sofrem, é essencial realizar inventários de mamíferos em áreas ainda pouco pesquisadas. Para avaliar a riqueza de espécies e a frequência relativa de mamíferos de médio e grande porte foram aplicados os métodos de visualização direta e registro por armadilhas fotográficas. O estudo foi realizado entre fevereiro e agosto de 2020, no Monumento Natural Municipal Serra do Bom Jardim, em Alcinópolis, Mato Grosso do Sul – MS. A partir de um esforço amostral 840 armadilhas-noite e 224 horas de buscas direta, foram registradas 27 espécies de mamíferos nativos, equivalente a 57.4 % das espécies desse grupo presentes no MS. A curva de acumulação de espécies associada com a riqueza estimada (Jackknife-1) indica que a continuidade da amostragem deve adicionar novas espécies. Duas espécies foram responsáveis por mais de 60 % dos registros fotográficos (Tapirus terrestres e Cerdocyon thous). Nosso inventário adicionou três novas ocorrências ao plano de manejo da UC (Didelphis albiventris, Leopardus tigrinus, e Coendou prehensilis). O registro de ocorrência de L. tigrinus por armadilha fotográfica é o primeiro para o estado de MS. Esse é o único carnívoro com ocorrência no Brasil que está ameaçado globalmente. Obtivemos registros de mais de 50 % das espécies ameaçadas de extinção presentes no MS, sem considerar L. tigrinus. Duas delas por exemplo, Ozotoceros bezoarticus e Priodontes maximus, estão entre as espécies mais raras em território sul mato-grossense. Nossos registros contribuem para a execução de medidas de conservação dos mamíferos na UC estudada, que desempenha um papel fundamental para a proteção do corredor Cerrado-Pantanal. MEDIUM AND LARGE SIZED MAMMALS IN PROTECTED AREA AT CERRADO, MATO GROSSO DO SUL, BRAZIL: Habitat loss is one of the greatest threats to fauna, especially for medium to large-sized terrestrial mammals. Considering the continuous threats on Cerrado remnants, it is essential to carry out mammal inventories in areas with low information available. In order to evaluate the species richness and the relative frequency of medium and large mammals, we investigated the area with direct observations and using camera traps. The study was conducted from February to August 2020, in the Serra do Bom Jardim Municipal Natural Monument, in Alcinópolis, Mato Grosso do Sul State (MS). From a sampling effort of 840 trap-nights and 224 hours of direct observations, a total of 27 species of native mammals were registered, representing 57.4 % of medium and large species that occur MS. Species accumulation curve associated with estimated richness (Jackknife-1) indicates that continued sampling would add new species. Two species were responsible for more than 60 % of the photographic records (Tapirus terrestre and Cerdocyon thous). Our survey added three new occurrences to the protected area management plan (Didelphis albiventris, Leopardus tigrinus, and Coendou prehensilis). The occurrence of L. tigrinus is the first record for the state of MS. This is the only globally threatened carnivore in Brazil. We recorded more than 50 % of the endangered species present in MS, besides L. tigrinus. Two of endangered species, Ozotoceros bezoarticus and Priodontes maximus, are among the rarest species in MS. Our study contributes to conservation measures proposed by municipal protected area, which plays a fundamental role for wildlife conservation in the Cerrado-Pantanal corridor.

“…Another 11 giant armadillos were recorded outside the monitoring (three opportunistically and eigth through reports from people confirmed by researchers) (Table S1). Also in the Cerrado, five individuals were reported by Hannibal, Cunha, Dalponti, Oliveira, and Pereira (2018), two by Rocha, Silva, Silva, Vale, and Araújo (2018), one by Environmental Military Police of Goiás, one by Environmental Military Police of Tocantins and one published by an electronic journal Alcinopolis.com in MS (Table S1). In the Amazon, one individual was recorded on the PA‐275 highway, in Carajás National Forest (Table S1).…”

We report 22 records of giant armadillo roadkill on Brazilian highways in the Cerrado, Pantanal and Amazon biomes illustrating that highways are a threat to this species.However, we also documented the species using underpasses, demonstrating that these structures could help to reduce the risk of roadkill for giant armadillos.
