Species occurrence data
The study area encompasses the
whole Amazon Biome, also known as the Amazon Rainforest, which
constitutes the largest tropical forest in the world, covering nine
countries in South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French
Guyana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela (IBGE, 2004; Junk et al.,
2011). Despite that our discussion is focused on the Amazon Biome, our
species distribution database was built considering the whole South
America, so that the potential distribution model covered the entire
range of the species studied (Figure 1).
The database of geographic records of the three species was built from
literature data and online databases, such as Global Biodiversity
Information Facility (GBIF; http://www.gbif.org/; GBIF Occurrence

(http://splink.cria.org.br/) (Figure 1, Supplemental
Material-Table S1). Especially for A. microtis , we used most of
the records from Rocha et al. (2020) publication. In addition, we used
data from unprecedented inventories of camera traps and Linear
Transection census, carried out by the team of the Laboratory of Ecology
and Zoology of Vertebrates of the Federal University of ParĂ¡ (Brazil),
between 2000 and 2019 (Appendix-Figure 1 and Supplemental Material-Table
S1).
