| ecology and local knowledge of the baird's tapir (tapirella bairdii) in the sierra madre de oaxaca, mexico. | as well as being of global cultural importance (from local tribal folklore to being an iconic species for conservation), the tapir plays an important role in its ecosystem as a herbivore and seed disperser. however, the ecology and ethnozoology of the endangered baird's tapir in the north of oaxaca, mexico is poorly understood. we used camera traps to estimate its relative abundance and density and to describe the activity patterns of the northernmost population of baird's tapir in the sierra ma ... | 2016 | 26749520 |
| [relative abundance, population structure, habitat preferences and activity patterns of tapirus bairdii (perissodactyla: tapiridae), in chimalapas forest, oaxaca, mexico]. | baird's tapir (tapirus bairdii) is endangered primarily because of habitat loss and fragmentation, and overhunting throughout its distribution range. one of the priority land areas for the conservation of this species is the northern part of its range in the chimalapas forest, oaxaca. the aim of this research was to determine the relative abundance, population struc- ture, habitat preferences and activity patterns of baird's tapir (tapirus bairdii) in the chimalapas forest, oaxaca, mexico, throu ... | 2014 | 25720176 |
