These records include two latitudinal extensions (Lonchophyl/a robusta and Thyropte lava"), and one altitudinal extension (Anoura latidens) . Two species 01 Cynomops, paranus a planirostris, are both present in Peru and supported by our vouchers.

Resumen: En el presente artículo se da a conocer una serie de fechas radiocarbónicas correspondientes, todas ellas, al relleno del foso 1 del yacimiento portugués de Perdigões. La ocasión se aprovecha además para discutir sobre la cronología y la temporalidad de este yacimiento donde, junto a otras instituciones, la Universidad de Málaga viene realizando actuaciones arqueológicas desde el año 2008. La lectura inicial nos advierte de los complejos ritmos de amortización que sufrieron los fosos a lo largo de la prolongada vida del yacimiento y de la necesidad de construir modelos más elaborados que expliquen las conductas de uso y abandono de los recintos de fosos prehistóricos. Palabras Clave: Cronología, Recintos de fosos, abandono, Neolítico, Edad del Cobre, suroeste Península Ibérica, deposiciones estructuradas, foso. Abstract:This article aims to report the results of a radiocarbon dating programme executed using samples from the filling of Ditch 1 at the Portuguese site of Perdigões. We also discuss the temporality and chronology of the site, where, in collaboration with other scientific institutions, the University of Málaga has been carrying out archaeological fieldwork since 2008. Obtained data apparently suggests a high degree of complexity in the process of ditch filling, in line with the enduring life history of the site, encouraging the introduction of more sophisticated models for explaining use and abandonment behaviours at Prehistoric ditched enclosures. Keywords: Chronology, Ditched enclosures, abandonment, Neolithic, Copper Age, southwestern Iberian Peninsula, structured depositions, ditch. INTRODUCCIÓNEn la necesaria reorientación, tanto conceptual como metodológica, que precisan los estudios sobre los denominados yacimientos de fosos de la Prehistoria reciente, ocupa un lugar primordial el análisis de su cronología y de su temporalidad. Así, al natural empeño por datar de forma absoluta cualquier yacimiento (cronología), se suma la tarea no menor de desentrañar la Los yacimientos "negativos" (recintos de fosos y campos de hoyos) presentan dinámicas específicas en la formación de su registro arqueológico que los distinguen de cualquier otro lugar prehistórico. Hablamos de reiteradas prácticas de fundación, uso, condenación y/o abandono de tales sitios, que quedan concretadas en la excavación y posterior relleno de multitud de estructuras negativas. Este hecho lo hemos explicado (Márquez y Jiménez 2010: cap. 11) como consecuencia de los patrones de asentamiento y abandono de lugares que, definidos por una marcada estacionalidad, son propios de una gran parte de poblaciones de la Prehistoria reciente del occidente europeo (p.e. Cunliffe 1992, Brück 1999, Pollard 1999, 2001, Chapman 2000, Garrow et al. 2005, Anderson-Whymark y Thomas 2012). La presencia recurrente de deposiciones estructuradas en el interior de fosas o en las colmataciones de los grandes fosos, entre otros indicadores, nos sugiere que la intencionalidad antrópica está en la génesis de este fenó-meno (Márquez y Jiménez 2010: caps. 9...
The high diversity of Peruvian carnivore species may pose problems when deciding to which taxa and topics new research efforts should be directed. In this publication, we evaluated the research effort made on each taxa -by assessing the number of publications per species-, point out the knowledge gaps that are important to the conservation of each species and present the first evaluation of research priorities for this group of animals to the country. We registered 145 publications about Peruvian carnivores made since 1943. The number of publications is significantly different between taxa, between subjects and between ecoregions where the research was conducted. According to the proposed priority scale, the species to be studied with greater priority is Nasua olivacea and the lowest priority is for Leopardus pardalis. The results of our study highlight the urgent need to conduct research on certain species of carnivores about which there are few published data, locally and globally, and which occupy a low number of ecoregions in the country. Both the scale of research priorities and the list of knowledge gaps presented here will be useful to guide logistical and financial efforts, for individual researchers as well as for private or governmental institutions.
Development projects in tropical forests can impact biodiversity. Assessment and monitoring programs based on the principles of adaptive management assist managers to identify and reduce such impacts. The small mammal community is one important component of a forest ecosystem that may be impacted by development projects. In 1996, a natural gas exploration project was initiated in a Peruvian rainforest. The Smithsonian Institution's Monitoring and Assessment of Biodiversity program cooperated with Shell Prospecting and Development Peru to establish an adaptive management program to protect the region's biodiversity. In this article, we discuss the role of assessing and monitoring small mammals in relation to the natural gas project. We outline the conceptual issues involved in establishing an assessment and monitoring program, including setting objectives, evaluating the results and making appropriate decisions. We also summarize the steps taken to implement the small mammal assessment, provide results from the assessment and discuss protocols to identify appropriate species for monitoring.
