Estimates of density (D: carcasses per km²) and number of dead vertebrates (N), their standard errors, coefficient of variation (CV), and confidence interval (CI), by body size group and pooled data, where small-sized vertebrates (S): < 2 kg; medium-large sized vertebrates (L): 2 kg and over. Estimates were, obtained by analyzing distance sampling data in the area hit by wildfires in the Brazilian portion of the Pantanal wetland in 2020.
