“…Though much has been studied about the ecology of this species in some particular sites (Busch & Kravetz, 1992;Gorosito et al, 2020;Maroli et al, 2018;Maroli et al, 2020;Mills et al, 1992;Muschetto et al, 2018), and there have been some insights on the variations in the structure of rodent assemblages in the region (González Fischer et al, 2012, its abundance and habitat associations throughout its distributional area are not well known. As well as for other cricetid rodents of the region, its abundance has been associated with environmental and climatic factors such as precipitation, temperature, land use and tree cover (Andreo et al, 2009;Fraschina et al, 2012;González Fischer et al, 2012;Vadell & Gómez Villafañe, 2016;Vadell et al, 2017;Maroli et al, 2021). In the Ciervo de los Pantanos National Park, in northeastern Buenos Aires, O. flavescens is mainly found in the riparian forest (Carballido et al, 2011;Gómez Villafañe et al, 2012;Maroli et al, 2018), but throughout Buenos Aires province it is also commonly found in grasslands and cropfield borders (Fraschina et al, 2012;González Fischer et al, 2012;Leveau et al, 2006).…”
