Walking on their own legs: unassisted population growth of the agoutiDasyprocta leporina, reintroduced to restore seed dispersal in an Atlantic Forest reserve

Abstract: Reintroduction of locally extirpated species is an increasingly popular conservation tool. However, few initiatives focus on the restoration of ecological processes. In addition, many reintroductions fail to conduct post-release monitoring, hampering both assessment of their success and implementation of adaptive management actions. In 2009 a reintroduction effort was initiated to re-establish a population of the red-rumped agouti Dasyprocta leporina, a scatter-hoarding rodent known to be an important disperse… Show more

“…A similar situation is found for the Atlantic Forest, although recent efforts have focused on taxonomic recovery and the increase in the ecological process (e.g. Audino et al 2014, Alexandrino et al 2016, Santos Junior et al 2016, Kenup et al 2017, Batisteli et al 2018, Genes et al 2018). In the present study we select indicator species of birds and mammals for a long-term monitoring program that is currently underway in the highly fragmented north of the state of Paraná, southern Brazil.…”

“…They committed to protect the remaining habitat while reintroducing individuals [51]. Proportional efforts in terms of resources are not always required when the focal species is a relatively common one, as in the case of rewilding projects that aim to restore ecological processes and not to protect a given endangered species [52].…”

“…In such locations, agouti reintroduction programs might be appropriate to reverse the loss of seed dispersers. For instance, in Tijuca National Park (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) agoutis have been successfully reintroduced (Cid et al, 2014), resulting in a well-established and growing population (Kenup et al, 2018) and on the restoration of dispersal interactions with large-seeded species (Zucaratto, 2013;Mittelman et al, 2020).…”
