Relaciones tróficas entre mamíferos herbívoros nativos y exóticos del Parque Provincial Ischigualasto (San Juan, Argentina)

Abstract: RESUMEN.Cada vez es más frecuente que las comunidades de herbívoros estén compuestas por especies nativas y exóticas. Las especies exóticas, con una historia reciente de coexistencia entre ellas y con las especies nativas, presentarían menos estrategias de reparto de recursos que las especies nativas, que co-evolucionaron juntas y establecieron relaciones entre sí y su ambiente. Con el fin de evaluar las relaciones tróficas en una comunidad de herbívoros que coexisten en el Parque Provincial Ischigualasto se a… Show more

“…These results may indicate that the aoudad feeds on a higher diversity of plants than the Iberian ibex, which could be interpreted as an advantage for the exotic species versus the native species. Nevertheless, native herbivores may have narrower trophic niches than sympatric exotic species because the diet of the former includes fewer items, but exploits better the resource by feeding on the most nutritious plants available (Jarman and Sinclair 1979;Reus et al, 2017).…”

“…European hares have a territorial behavior and they recognize unfamiliar individuals that mark their area by cutting plants (Ovalle et al 2002). This behavior may be favorable in areas with fences, as it might avoid possible transit of other wildlife (Poor et al 2014;Reus et al 2017), including other probable terrestrial predators (Gantchoff and Belant 2016;Frank and Eklund 2017). In this context, fences could be vital for European hares in cases where they have access within the fenced area and predators do not.…”

“…Recurrent fires create extensive mineral soil areas and grasslands where the tree canopy is not closed, destined to extensive livestock grazing (Luque et al 2011), and facilitating the spread of invasive species such as Lepus europaeus (European hare) (Jaksic et al 2002;Bonino et al 2010). This lagomorph inhabits open environments, intensifying the herbivorous pressure, and delaying or suppressing the natural regeneration of the natural forests (Ovalle et al 2002;Reus et al 2017). The European hare damages the trees, mainly during the establishment phase, browsing the apical buds and eventually the bark at its base, and therefore leading to individual mortality (Sullivan and Moses 1986;Urretavizcaya et al 2018).…”
