This project examines the effects of agricultural intensification on lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris) movement and seed dispersal in Brazil’s largest agricultural frontier, where Amazonian forests coexist with large-scale mechanized crop production. Even in areas where deforestation has declined, land-use change and increasing management intensity can alter wildlife behavior and disrupt key ecological functions critical to forest resilience. By integrating ecological approaches, GPS tracking, and remote sensing, the study will assess how agricultural landscapes influence tapir movement patterns and their role in native seed dispersal. The findings will provide insight into the cascading effects of agricultural expansion on plant community composition, forest structure, and overall ecosystem resilience.
