Population density is a potentially significant determinant of social organization, with high densities often expected to result in greater spatial and social contact among conspecifics. As part of ongoing efforts to document behavioral diversity among tuco-tucos (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae: Ctenomys), we characterized the social organization of a popul...

Dryland ecosystems are among the most widespread biomes on Earth and sustain nearly 40% of the global human population. Knowledge on drylands throughout the world has come from diverse disciplinary fields including natural and social sciences. The use of quantitative tools, such as science mapping or bibliometric analysis, may help to explore the s...

The genus Ctenomys Blainville, 1826 includes 68 living species of small to medium-sized (100–1200 g) caviomorph rodents of subterranean habits. During the last decade, this genus has been the subject of numerous taxonomic studies, including the description of new species and the proposal of novel synonyms. Based on phylogenetic analysis of mitochon...

Environmental heterogeneity shapes the traits of natural populations, including space use and burrowing behavior. We studied the red viscacha rat ( Tympanoctomys barrerae ), a semifossorial rodent with patchy distribution in drylands of west‐central Argentina, to provide ecological data on habitat and burrow features of this specialist species. We...

Como algunos de nuestros abuelos, algunas ratas llegaron en barcos. Estos migrantes tienen hábitos comensales, obtienen beneficio a partir de otras especies o seres vivos como nosotros. Los roedores son probablemente los animales modelo más comúnmente utilizados en los laboratorios de todo el mundo debido a su similitud genética y fisiológica...

Uno de los rasgos distintivos de las tierras áridas sudamericanas es la composición de pequeños mamíferos. En este trabajo se presentan resultados tafonómicos y taxonómicos de restos óseos de micromamíferos (≤ 1 kg) recuperados de egagrópilas de aves rapaces encontradas en una caverna localizada en la provincia de Neuquén (Argentina). El análisis t...

Salinomys delicatus Braun & Mares, 1995 is a sigmodontine rodent endemic to perisaline environments in west-central Argentina. It is currently considered to be a Vulnerable species due to its patchy distribution and the loss of optimal habitats caused by intensive anthropogenic activities. In this work, we document the first record for this species...

Species that experience range expansions, high population growth and negative social or ecological impacts in a non-native location due to human actions are defined as both introduced and invasive. In particular, introduced invasive mammals (IIM) are more harmful than other vertebrates, and their social-cultural interactions are especially strong....

For decades, telemetry has provided large amounts of ecological information for several bear species; however, for the Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus), only three studies have available information. The use of space for this species was measured for the first time in Colombia with a male specimen tracked with GPS telemetry. Bear locations (n= 348)...

Objectives Materials and Methods Results • To quantify habitat use, movements and spatial distribution of the red viscacha rat H1: Burrow characteristics and densities would be affected by distribution and physical features of the habitat H2: Space use of the species is associated with habitat heterogeneity and sex H3: Spatial distribution of the b...

Viscacha rats (genus Tympanoctomys Yepes, 1942) are ecologically, physiologically, and behaviorally unusual octodontid rodents endemic to the Monte and Patagonian desert biomes of Argentina. The geographic ranges of the different species of Tympanoctomys have been described in general terms but have not been associated with spatial and climate data...

Se reporta en una caverna de desierto de monte argentino, en la provincia de Neuquén, la presencia de una especie de murciélago de la familia Vespertilionidae. Argentina, cavernas, Chiroptera, desierto de monte. For the first time, we report in a Monte desert cave, Argentina, Neuquén province, the presence of a bat species belonging to the Vespe...

This contribution is a tribute to José Yepes on the 75th anniversary of his description of the genus Tympanoctomys, and the 90th anniversary of his admission to the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences “Bernardino Rivadavia”. Viscacha rats are the epitome of South American rodents adapted to desert habitats, and are a true model, not only to presen...

Arid ecosystems represent heterogeneous scenarios, mainly determining the distribution of resources and species. Its heterogeneity reflects different scales for variations in topography, climate, precipitation and vegetation. Faced with habitat fragmentation, is necessary inferring which factors affect small mammals dynamics. Red Viscacha Rat is en...

RESUMEN. Ectoparásitos asociados con murciélagos en el noreste de Tolima, Colombia. El presente estudio registra los ectoparásitos asociados a murciélagos en el noreste del Tolima, Colombia, con datos sobre su prevalencia e intensidad promedio. Se capturaron 140 murciélagos distribuidos en 5 familias y 21 especies, siendo la familia Phyllostomidae...

El departamento del Tolima posee relictos de Bosque seco Tropical relevantes, los cuales a pesar de estar afectados por dinámicas agrícolas y ganaderas, albergan una importante fauna de mamíferos, especialmente de quirópteros, convirtiéndolos en lugares estratégicos para adelantar estudios de biodiversidad. Estas áreas han disminuido drásticamente...

Los murciélagos son parasitados por diversas familias de artrópodos, los cuales son abundantes, diversos y pueden incidir sobre las poblaciones de hospedadores. En Colombia son pocos los trabajos desarrollados sobre tipo de ectoparasitismo, sin embargo investigaciones realizadas resaltan al menos 54 especies de dípteros como parásitos obligados...

Los murciélagos son parasitados por diversas familias de dípteros y ácaros (Arthropoda); los cuales son abundantes, diversos y pueden incidir sobre las poblaciones de hospedadores. En Colombia son pocos los trabajos desarrollados sobre tipo de ectoparasitismo, sin embargo investigaciones realizadas resaltan al menos 54 especies de dípteros como par...

En su estado natural, los murciélagos son parasitados por varios organismos entre los que se destacan insectos del orden Díptera y distintas familias de Ácaros, los cuales son abundantes y diversos y pueden incidir sobre las poblaciones de hospederos. Sin embargo, en Colombia son escasos los trabajos enfocados a estos aspectos por lo cual se pro...

La vereda Chorrillo del Municipio de Ambalema-Tolima presentan características que los convierte en zonas de gran interés, puesto que hace parte del Bosque seco tropical del valle del río Magdalena y cuenta con un conjunto de lagunas naturales que conforman uno de los humedales más importantes en la zona baja del departamento, pero debido que las p...

Bats, the only flying mammals are most abundant in tropical ecosystems and more diverse after rodents, also are important in forests by seed dispersal, pollination and insect control. These coexist with ectoparasites among which stand out the flies of the order Diptera. In Colombia there are few studies on these and developed in the department of T...
