Resumen
HANNIBAL, Wellington et al. Roadkill and new records for giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) in central-western Brazil. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.1, pp.229-234. ISSN 0327-9383.
Despite the widespread distribution of the giant armadillo Priodontes maximus, this species is found at low densities, often in disrupted populations. Here we report 12 new records, including five incidents of roadkill of P. maximus in different points of the Cerrado and one in an Atlantic Forest fragment in central-western Brazil. In addition to the relevant records, we discuss the negative effects of roadkills, which is a serious issue for the conservation and maintenance of local populations of giant armadillo.
