Why is it important?
Here we compile the largest dataset of inventories of small mammal communities for the Neotropical region.
Perspectives
The information contained on this dataset can be applied in the study of macroecological patterns of biodiversity, communities and populations, but also to evaluate the ecological consequences of fragmentation and defaunation, and predict disease outbreaks, trophic interactions and community dynamics in this biodiversity hotspot.
