Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet number in Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence abundance on mammal that (1) transposed geographical barrier (2) Neotropics. Our set composed 73,738 historical current georeferenced records alien which...
Summary The elusive southern river otter ( Lontra provocax ; huillín in Spanish) is critically endangered the Argentine portion of Tierra del Fuego, and low social awareness may be one major threats to its conservation. Our survey local residents’ knowledge valuation showed that only 14% recognized photographs species, almost half did not know it most erroneously thought was an introduced species. Greater about related higher respondent education levels. Younger more knowledgeable residents...
Abstract Aim Ecological theory predicts that invasive ecosystem engineers like the American beaver ( Castor canadensis ) in Tierra del Fuego TDF affect landscape‐level biodiversity and function BEF when engineered habitats are novel or extensive. We tested these hypotheses on freshwater , sampling benthic habitat macroinvertebrates natural lotic (forest grassland streams) lentic (bogs, lakes) beaver‐modified ecosystems (active abandoned ponds). Location Archipelago (Chile Argentina). Methods...
Biological invasions are one of the main components human-caused global change and their negative impact on invaded ecosystems have long been recognized. Invasive mammals, in particular, can threaten native biodiversity cause economic impacts region where they introduced, often through a wide range conflicts with humans. Although wild boar, Sus scrofa, is considered by IUCN as 100 invasive species most damaging to world, Argentina there only few studies focused its ecology them conducted...
Ecología Austral 24:183-192 (2014)Invasive alien species are a threat to biodiversity. Management options encompass prevention, early detection, eradication, control, exclusion and even "no action." More technical information is needed achieve complex management actions successfully. In addition, managers researchers address the problem with different approaches. Managers seek prioritize actions, for researchers, these an opportunity study basic and/or theoretical aspects, but not always...
La complejidad y la velocidad de los actuales cambios ambientales a escala global presentan desafíos oportunidades para investigación, gestión conservación biosfera (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment [MA] 2005). magnitud estos derivó en propuesta llamar Antropoceno nuestra época geológica (Crutzen 2002), ya que seres humanos nos hemos convertido mayor fuerza cambio planetario. Es evidente grandes factores promotores este nuevo escenario (e.g., el calentamiento global, urbanización globalización...
Despite being a relatively remote and well conserved area, the sub-Antarctic ecoregion faces pressing global threats from climate change, ozone hole introduced species. Its freshwater ecosystems are one of least studied components this biome, but they known to confront host invasive taxa including trout beavers. We set out understand basic characterization dynamics organic matter processing decomposition in streams under natural forest (NF) conditions ponds constructed by North American...
Ecología Austral 24:193-202 (2014)Invasion biology is well-positioned epistemologically, theoretically and practically to address the challenge of being both scientifically socially relevant. Yet, how well we are achieving these two dimensions academic inquiry impact? We explored this issue by a) surveying Argentine invasion practitioners (students, scientists managers) determine types collaborations they report their stated preferences regarding research thematic priorities (autecology,...
Improvement of invasive American mink (Neovison vison) trapping methods in the Cape Horn Archipelago is a priority for wildlife managers. We assessed use cubby sets (16 × 16 30 cm plywood boxes) containing body gripping lethal traps to control along Beagle Channel. compared effectiveness, selectivity and weather condition resistance between two set designs: (i) open front, (ii) restricted entrance (lidded with 6 aperture). The effectiveness bait was evaluated fresh versus canned fish....
Ecología Austral 24:173-182 (2014)The American mink is a widespread invasive carnivore in Patagonia, and due to its foraging behavior that allows it exploit wide variety of prey, the exotic with highest potential impact on region's biodiversity. Available regional information presence/absence, as well abundance estimations, scarce even though vital plan management actions. Here, we integrate confirmed distribution Patagonia presence for areas where lacking, based location animal releases...
Abstract The North American beaver Castor canadensis is an invasive species in the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago. Due to this biological invasion, Argentina and Chile signed agreement restore affected ecosystems by eradicating beavers. In southern Patagonia, beavers’ ecological impacts are well studied, but there a relative lack of information on how their invasion (and potential removal) could affect bird communities. portion Fuego's ‘big island’ ( Isla Grande ), we conducted passive...
Summary Environmental scientists and managers increasingly recognize that socio-cultural evaluations expand the understanding of human–nature relationships. Here, user groups’ perceptions benefits from threats to nature were analysed in Tierra del Fuego National Park, Argentina. We hypothesized different relationships users this place would lead significantly valuations among local Ushuaia residents (n = 122), Argentine nationals 147) international tourists 294). All perceived a broad...
