Jaguar densities ranged from 0.44 to 1.6 individuals/100 km2.

Density was significantly lower in more deforested sites vs. less deforested sites.

Landscape resistance for jaguars increased by ∼12% per 10% loss of forest.

More jaguar research in working landscapes is needed to understand land use effects.

Edges are hotspots of forest cover change in an Atlantic Forest landscape.

Main determinants of both deforestation and regrowth were biophysical factors.

Strictly Protected Areas was the unique socioeconomic determinant of deforestation.

Biophysical determinants may indicate socioeconomic processes involved in forest cover changes.

Grassland ant community composition and body size do not change with fire.

Ant richness increased 1 and 12 months post-fire.

Ant richness was positively driven by plant richness in burned patches.

Seed removal by ants increased 1 month post-fire.

Private Legal Reserves (LRs) can retain part of the alpha and beta diversity

There are a strong turnover of species between LRs and soybean crops

The composition of ants differs among Cerrado, Amazon and transitional vegetation

The similarity among samples decay with geographic distance (300 km) only in LRs

Cerrado LRs shares more species with crops than LRs in any other landscape

Raptor species richness increased in tropical cities.

Raptor species richness increased with increasing urban green area size.

Raptor body size increased with increasing urban green area size.

Urban green space size is fundamental for the conservation of raptor communities.

Spatial knowledge of Atlantic Forest primates has biases that vary according to the study scale and grid cell resolution;

In broad-scale perspectives (regional and global) the primate’s spatial knowledge is unbiased;

At narrow-scale perspectives, the knowledge may have bias, depending on grid cell resolution;

The central region of the Atlantic Forest is well sampled;

The São Francisco region and ecotone zones need to be further sampled.

The literature other than scientific journals (non-journals) is a rarely explored resource in predator conservation.

Non-journals are important for some predator species and countries.

The use of non-journals should become a habitual practice to seek solutions for mitigation of human-predator conflicts.

The list of publications and online resources with valuable non-journals is provided.
