Abstract
We documented new records of Choloepus didactylus extending up to 820 km south of its current geographic distribution. These records, and others found in literature for the central-southern Amazon, evidence a southern expansion of about 30% of the known species' area of occurrence and help shedding light on decades of uncertainties about its real distribution.
Abstract in Portuguese is available with online material.
期刊介绍：
Ranked by the ISI index, Biotropica is a highly regarded source of original research on the ecology, conservation and management of all tropical ecosystems, and on the evolution, behavior, and population biology of tropical organisms. Published on behalf of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation, the journal''s Special Issues and Special Sections quickly become indispensable references for researchers in the field. Biotropica publishes timely Papers, Reviews, Commentaries, and Insights. Commentaries generate thought-provoking ideas that frequently initiate fruitful debate and discussion, while Reviews provide authoritative and analytical overviews of topics of current conservation or ecological importance. The newly instituted category Insights replaces Short Communications.
