DESCRIPTION: For my doctoral work\, I used camera traps to investigate ecol
 ogical and behavioral adaptations of ground-dwelling mammals to human-pres
 ence and features of human-dominated landscapes (e.g.\, forest fragments\,
  plantations\, agricultural fields\, and roads). I found that at first gla
 nce mammals appear to tolerate human-presence\, but behavioral signatures\
 , such as vigilance\, indicates human presence can influence mammal behavi
 or despite minimal habitat disruption. Also\, I found that human-modified 
 landscapes favor generalist mammals species but marginalize forest special
 ists\, as informed by levels of activity and chances of parenting across h
 abitat types. Additionally\, group living species persist in human-dominat
 ed landscapes in very small group sizes. Collectively\, these investigatio
 ns provide new insights into the constraints imposed by anthropogenic alte
 rations\, and the ways animals are (or not) adapting to human-dominated la
 ndscapes.\nSpeaker: Claudio Monteza
