  • Fur Trade and the Biotic Homogenization of Subpolar Ecosystems
    Chapter 14 Fur Trade and the Biotic Homogenization of Subpolar Ecosystems Ramiro D. Crego, Ricardo Rozzi, and Jaime E. Jiménez Abstract At the southern end of the Americas exist one of the last pristine ecosys- tems in the world, the sub-Antarctic Magellanic forests ecoregion, protected by the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (CHBR). Despite its remote location, the CHBR has been subject to the growing infuences of globalization, a process that has driven cultural, biotic, and economic transformations in the region since the mid-twentieth century. One of the most important threats to these unique ecosystems is the increase of biological invasions. Motivated by the expanding fur industry that responded to the globalization process, American beavers (Castor canadensis), muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus), and American minks (Neovison vison) were introduced, inde- pendently, to the southern tip of South America. Research has shown that these three North American species have reassembled their native interactions to affect negatively the invaded ecosystems of the CHBR. Beavers affect river fow and R. D.

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 43.2: 177–186, Doi: https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2020.43.0177 Abstract Temporal changes in the diet of two sympatric carnivorous mammals in a protected area of south–central Chile affected by a mixed–severity forest fire. Fire is a significant disruptive agent in various ecosystems around the world. It can affect the availability of resources in a given area, modulating the interaction between competing species. We studied the diet of the culpeo fox (Lycalopex culpaeus) and cougar (Puma concolor) for two consecutive years in a protected area of southern–central Chile which was affected by a wildfire. Significant differences were observed in the dietary pattern between the two species, showing their trophic segregation. In the two years of the study, the predominant prey for cougar was an exotic species, the European hare (Lepus europaeus), implying a simplification of its trophic spectrum with respect to that reported in other latitudes. The ecological consequences related to this scenario are discussed. Key words: Dietary overlap, Predation, Post–fire dynamics, Microhabitat, Rodent cycles, Selectivity Resumen Cambios temporales en la dieta de dos mamíferos carnívoros simpátridas en una zona protegida del centro y el sur de Chile afectada por un incendio forestal de intensidad desigual.

Abstract Bush dogs are considered one of the lesser-known canids of South America. We report an update on their distribution in the north region of Brazil. Three bush dogs were filmed by a camera trap in Amapá Na- tional Forest, Eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The record occurred during data collection for a long-term study of medium and large vertebrates. On 28 March 2014 at 22:13h, three bush dogs passed in front of the camera. This record increases knowledge on the distribution of the species.
