Lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris) is the largest herbivore in Neotropics and, Argentina, it inhabits a variety of habitats from 100 to 2100 m asl. tapirs importantly influence their habitat structure because they are selective browsers, seed predators and long-distance dispersers. However, increased knowledge ecology necessary support conservation management species natural human-modified environments. Between Jun 2002 Dec 2008 we assessed tapir's diet El Rey National Park, Salta,...
Many vertebrate species undergo population fluctuations that may be random or regularly cyclic in nature. Vertebrate cycles northern latitudes are driven by both endogenous and exogenous factors. Suggested causes of mysterious disappearances documented for populations the Neotropical, herd-forming, white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari, henceforth "WLP") include large-scale movements, overhunting, extreme floods, disease outbreaks. By analyzing 43 disappearance events across Neotropics 88...
SUMMARY In many developing countries, high rates of deforestation and biodiversity loss make conservation efforts urgent. Improving existing land-use plans can be an option for enhancing conservation. We showcase approach to forest plan using widely available data spatial tools, focusing on Argentina's Southern Yungas ecoregion. mapped the distribution wilderness areas species habitats concern, assessed their representation in quantified potential changes habitat availability connectivity....
Abstract The loss of biodiversity is an ongoing process and existing efforts to halt it are based on different conservation strategies. ‘One Plan approach’ introduced by International Union for Conservation Nature proposes consider all populations a species under unified management plan. In this work we follow premise in order unify situ ex one the most critically endangered mammals Argentina, jaguar (Panthera onca). We assessed pedigrees captive animals, finding that 44.93% reported...
Abstract Protected areas are cornerstones of conservation efforts worldwide. However, protected do not act in isolation because they connected with surrounding, unprotected lands. Few studies have evaluated the effects on wildlife populations inhabiting private lands surrounding landscapes. The lowland tapir Tapirus terrestris is largest terrestrial mammal Neotropics and categorized as Vulnerable IUCN Red List. It necessary to understand influence landscape characteristics tapir's habitat...
Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are an important component of aquatic taxoce - nosis that can live in a wide variety habitats, which very common and abundant organ isms NOA’s lotic ecosystems. The objective this work was to present 20 new records these microalgae: 3 citations for the country, 5 Northwest region 12 Tucumán. Seasonal samplings were carried out from 2012 2014 Calimayo Mista streams (both belonging Sali river basin). Biological data (epilithon phy toplankton) collected “in situ”....
RESUMEN.En Argentina, el pecarí labiado (Tayassu pecari) está categorizado como En Peligro, ya que su distribución se redujo un 63% y sus poblaciones están fragmentadas.Nuestro objetivo fue determinar tamaño de los grupos comparar la tasa captura en cámaras trampa entre dos sectores donde distribuye especie las Yungas Australes Argentina.En este estudio registramos menor grupo (10 ± 8 pecaríes labiados/grupo) comparado con otros estudios Neotrópico.La significativamente mayor sector sureste...
SummaryAscosphaeriosis is described in the parasitic bee Coelioxys rufocaudata, nest of Megachile rolundata. The fungal elements seen on mummies are morphologically identical to those Ascosphaera aggregata.

Summary The drivers of periodic population cycling by some animal species in northern systems remain unresolved 1 . Mysterious disappearances populations the Neotropical, herdforming white-lipped peccary ( Tayassu pecari , henceforth “WLP”) have been anecdotally documented and explained as local events resulting from migratory movements or overhunting 2,3,4 disease outbreaks 5,6 not considered context large-scale species-specific dynamics. Here we present evidence that WLP represent troughs...
The white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) is considered a key species for its role as an ecosystem engineer. Given their important ecological function, there great concern in the scientific community regarding many reports of disappearances or abundance reductions throughout distribution (from southern Mexico to northern Argentina). Based on extensive survey effort, we report new data presence WLP after period no detections Argentine Yungas. study was conducted Yungas ecoregion, provinces...
