Livestock predation is one of the major causes conflicts between humans and pumas ( Puma concolor ). Using data from interviews with ranchers kill-site inspections, we characterized puma–livestock in Villarino Patagones counties central Argentinean rangelands. Depredation was considered cause livestock losses, puma attacks were reported 46.6% 35.4% ranches Patagones, respectively. The majority underwent losses smaller than 1000 USD. proportion lost to (0.1–10.4%) financial (5.3–1560.4 USD)...

Las poblaciones de guanaco en Argentina sufrieron una drástica disminución durante el siglo XX que empezó a revertirse los últimos 30 años. A pesar esto, la provincia Buenos Aires aún posee solamente pequeñas relictuales dos reservas naturales ubicadas al sudoeste provincia. Reportamos registros nuevas posibles áreas presencia largo plazo partido Patagones, por fuera protegidas.

The role that mammalian carnivores play in ecosystems can be deeply altered by human-driven habitat disturbance. While most carnivore species are negatively affected, the impact of changes is expected to depend on their ecological flexibility. We aimed identify key factors affecting use four sympatric landscapes central Argentina. Camera trapping surveys were carried out at 49 sites from 2011 2013. Each site was characterized 12 attributes, including human disturbance and fragmentation. Four...

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...

Abstract Interviews with local people have been widely used by biologists as a cost-effective approach to studying certain topics in wildlife ecology and conservation. However, doubts still exist about the validity quality of information gathered, especially studies targeting cryptic or elusive species, such carnivores. We assessed reliability interviews (n = 155) detecting presence three species carnivores different characteristics, comparing interview results data obtained through camera...

Habitat loss, poaching, and legal hunting are the main causes of decline in populations pumas (Puma concolor) globally. We used camera trapping to assess habitat use daily activity patterns pumas, we identified major factors affecting this species, a human-dominated landscape central Argentina. The intensity by was related positively presence woodland, complexity, richness wild prey. Pumas also avoided areas with high concentration ranches, indicators more-intense human activity. Although...

The distribution of a species reflects its ecological adaptability and evolutionary history, which is shaped by the environment represents dynamic area subject to anthropogenic environmental change. We used MaxEnt algorithm construct niche models for four thrush within Turdus genus; T. amaurochalinus, chiguanco, falcklandii rufiventris. These were predict potential geographic distributions these that are expanding their ranges in South America. Using occurrence records, we estimated...

Geoffroy's and Pampas cats are small felids with large distribution ranges in South America. A camera trap survey was conducted the Espinal of central Argentina to estimate abundance based on capture—recapture data. For density estimations we used both non-spatial methods spatially explicit models (SECR). cat also obtained estimates from 8 radio-tracked individuals. Based data 10 7 cats, produced 16.21–21.94 indiv./100 km2 11.34–17.58 km2, respectively. The estimated using SECR 45...

This study describes and compares the activity patterns of free-ranging Molina’s hog-nosed skunks (Conepatus chinga) in a protected area (PA) cropland (CA) Pampas grassland Argentina. Sixteen (PA: three males, four females; CA: six females) were captured monitored using radio-telemetry techniques for 92–395 days each. In both areas, C. chinga was largely nocturnal start cessation related to sunset sunrise, respectively. Skunks spent more time active PA, where level anthropogenic lower, this...

We assessed chemical immobilization and success of trapping devices on a little-known South American mustelid, the lesser grison (Galictis cuja). From December 1998 to June 2006, we live-trapped (n = 23) radiomarked 9) free-ranging grisons in 2 areas Pampas grasslands Argentina. Both box-traps rubber-padded leg-hold traps allowed us capture grisons. However, had greater efficiency. Although liberation time was longer with tiletamine–zolazepam than ketamine–xylazine, field both drug...

Abstract The maned wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus , the fourth largest canid, is categorized as Near Threatened on IUCN Red List. objectives of this study were to update information occurrence species in Argentina, compare current distribution that previously described for 1988–2008, and indicate areas which exposed particular hazards. We created a database included 1,051 new records C. 2009-2021, addition 1988–2008 had not been reported previously. calculated area occupancy Argentina be 500,000...

Through content analysis, we reviewed 853 news articles from 2015–2020 to assess how jaguars and pumas are portrayed in Latin America. Science Communication (27%) Sighting reports (18%) were the most common topics. About half of had a positive framing, 37% neutral, 12% showed negative frame. Most related (66%), (80%). Government agents main interest group featured news. Residents often mentioned about pumas, while scientists on jaguars. Our study provides baseline monitor perceptions toward...
