Resumen
BATISTA, Carolina B et al. First record of bush dog, Speothos venaticus, for the Cerrado of São Paulo, Brazil . Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.2, pp.431-436. ISSN 0327-9383.
We provide an updated geographical distribution map of Speothos venaticus (Lund, 1842) for Brazil and report the first record of this species for the Cerrado of São Paulo, which was known only from the Atlantic Rain Forest within the state. We built the distribution map based on occurrence sites for the species in Brazil available in the literature and our new record: a deceased male cub, found near a forest fragment in a matrix of sugarcane plantations. We performed ecological niche modeling with GIS analysis to obtain a predictive map of the areas potentially suitable for S. venaticus. This species distribution and ecology are still poorly known, and additional studies are needed to evaluate its current state of conservation.
