Introduction
I am currently a PhD of the National University of Cuyo with a fellowship from the Argentine National Research Council (CONICET). The objectives of my research are to determine resource utilization of an invasive mammal, European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), and its interaction with native and non-native species in the semi-arid ecosystem of Patagonia-Monte, Argentina. Finally, I am interested to evaluate social perception of landowners about invasive mammals in these aridlands.

The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus is an exotic herbivorous mammal undergoing an active phase of geographical expansion in the arid ecosystems of Argentina. The Adaptive Flexibility Hypothesis states that populations at the range edge (new populations) will exhibit greater flexibility in the use of resources compared with populations located...
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....

The coexistence of ecologically similar species is facilitated by differential use of resources along habitat, diet, and/or temporal niche axes. We used feces of non-native rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), hare (Lepus europaeus), goat (Capra hircus), and the native plains viscacha (Lagostomus maximus) to compare the utilization of spatial and trophi...
The coexistence of ecologically similar species is facilitated by differential use of niche axes (i.e. habitat, diet, and temporal gradients). Like in many other arid regions, mammal assemblages in arid Argentina are composed by native and nonnative medium-sized herbivores such as European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the native plains viscac...
The European wild rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, is simultaneously a threatened species within its native range and yet, a successful colonizer worldwide (Lees and Bell 2008). The European rabbit is native to the Iberian Peninsula, south of France and north of Africa. In the Iberian Peninsula, its populations have undergone a massive decline during...
Herbivore and plant invasions can modify the structure and functioning of ecosystems through positive interactions that facilitate their mutual establishment. An important consequence of the feeding behaviour of rabbits is that they can play a key role in seed dispersal by endozoochory. We examined the diet and potential for dispersing Rosa rubigin...
El conejo europeo es un mamífero exótico invasor en fase activa de dispersión geográfica en la provincia de Mendoza. Es un herbívoro generalista con gran plasticidad para seleccionar el alimento, ajustándose a la disponibilidad de recursos de acuerdo al hábitat y la estación del año. Las zonas áridas se caracterizan por la baja productividad en el...
El conejo europeo es una de las 100 especies exóticas invasoras más dañinas del mundo y se encuentra en fase activa de expansión geográfica en Mendoza. En los ambientes introducidos, el conejo se adapta de manera eficaz y rápida mostrando un gran éxito en la colonización. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la utilización del hábitat a distinta...
El conejo europeo es un mamífero exótico invasor introducido en Argentina en 1880 con fines alimenticios. En la mayoría de los ambientes donde se introduce se adapta de manera eficaz y rápida mostrando un gran éxito en la colonización. En el sur de Mendoza, se encuentra en fase activa de dispersión o expansión geográfica. El conejo es un herbívoro...
El conejo europeo, un mamífero exótico invasor, se encuentra en activa fase de dispersión geográfica en las provincias de Neuquén y Mendoza. Enfocado desde su ecología trófica es un herbívoro generalista con gran plasticidad para seleccionar el alimento, adaptándose a la disponibilidad de recursos según el ambiente y la estación del año. Además, es...
Seed dispersal by exotic mammals exemplifies mutualistic interactions that can modify the habitat by facilitating the establishment of certain species. We examined the potential for endozoochoric dispersal of exotic plants by Callosciurus erythraeus introduced in the Pampas Region of Argentina. We identified and characterised entire and damaged see...
