  • Animals of the Cloud Forest: Isotopic Variation of Archaeological Faunal Remains from Kuelap, Peru
    ANIMALS OF THE CLOUD FOREST: ISOTOPIC VARIATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL FAUNAL REMAINS FROM KUELAP, PERU by SAMANTHA MARIE MICHELL B.S. Idaho State University, 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2018 © 2018 Samantha Michell ii ABSTRACT Stable isotopic analyses of faunal remains are used as a proxy for reconstructing the ancient Chachapoya dietary environment of the northeastern highlands in Peru. Archaeologists have excavated animal remains from refuse piles at the monumental center of Kuelap (AD 900-1535). This archaeological site is located at 3000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.), where C3 plants dominate the region. The study presented here is one of the few in the Central Andes that uses faunal remains to develop local isotopic baselines, reconstruct resource exploitation, and provide insight into dietary variation. Bone collagen stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes are used to investigate animal diets of nine local fauna (Camelidae, Cervidae, Caviidae, Chinchillidae, Cuniculidae, Leporidae, Felidae, Canidae, and Aves). Different taxonomic families were evaluated to explore the range of isotopic variation within and between these animals. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of both the wild and domesticated Kuelap faunal samples suggest a diet of both C3 and C4 plant foods. Significant dietary differences were identified between domesticated and wild animals (specifically camelid and cervid), suggesting ecological differences or strategic provisioning from possible domestic C4 crops (maize) by humans. The domesticated camelids displayed a large isotopic variation similar to other highland archaeological studies in Peru, with an average δ13C value of –14.13 ‰ and a standard deviation of 2.96.

  • Registros Parasitológicos En Rodent Middens Del Parque Nacional Perito Moreno, Santa Cruz, Argentina
    Rev Arg Parasitol Vol. 3 - Nº 1 - Octubre 2014 ISSN: 2313-9862 REGISTROS PARASITOLÓGICOS EN RODENT MIDDENS DEL PARQUE NACIONAL PERITO MORENO, SANTA CRUZ, ARGENTINA Fugassa M H* ARTICULO RESUMEN: Se comunican los primeros hallazgos parasitológicos en rodent middens en un depósito corres- pondiente a Lagidium wolffsohni hallado en Santa Cruz, Argentina. Una muestra de los fragmentos del rodent middens obtenidos del alero de una cueva se procesaron por rehidratación en una solución acuosa de fosfato trisódico y los restos parasitarios se concentraron por flotación y sedimentación espontánea. Se observaron treinta y cinco preparados transitorios bajo el microscopio óptico, registrándose huevos de nematodes perte- necientes a capiláridos (Capillariidae), Trichuris sp. (Trichiuridae), un oxiúrido del género Heteroxynema y un cestode de la subfamilia Anoplocephalinae. Los huevos de capiláridos son similares a los de Calodium hepati- cum. Lagidium wolffsohni es un roedor endémico y raro de modo que resulta importante para su conservación conocer sus parásitos considerando que pueden vulnerar a sus poblaciones. Palabras clave: Parque Nacional Perito Moreno, helmintos gastrointestinales, coproparasitología, Lagidium wolffsohni. ABSTRACT: In this report, the results of the first parasitological examination in rodent middens belonging to Lagidium wolffsohni obtained from a cave in the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina are communicated. A sample of fragments of rodent middens was rehydrated in aqueous trisodium phosphate and parasitic remains concen- trated by flotation and spontaneous sedimentation. Thirty five transitory slides were observed under a light mi- croscope. Nematode eggs of family Capillariidae, Trichuris sp. (Trichiuridae), a member of the family Oxiuridae, Heteroxynema genus, and one of the subfamily Anoplocephalinae cestode were identified.

With a somewhat quicker vehicle and some efficient back-up, the tour went surprisingly well. We had very few logistical problems, the journeys went much more quickly in our faster vehicle and the weather was largely good. Best of all though were the birds, and in this department we were truly spoilt, with just about all of the targeted specialities showing very well, and a few surprises too!

Entre las principales características que los diferencian de otros tipos de animales están: la forma del cráneo, el desarrollo y especialización de las piezas dentales, la presencia de pelo en al menos un momento de su vida, glándulas mamarias en las hembras para amamantar a sus crías y la alimentación de estas con leche materna. Así como son un grupo muy diverso, a la vez resultan un tanto difíciles de observar en estado silvestre, la forma más “fácil” de reportar su presencia la mayoría del tiempo es mediante registros indirectos como huellas, rastros, heces fecales, etc.

E-mail [email protected] (PT), [email protected] (SOL) * Corresponding author Mountain viscachas of the genus Lagidium Meyen 1833 are medium-to-large hystricomorph rodents (1.5 -- 3 kg) that live in rocky outcrops from Ecuador to southern Argentina and Chile. Lagidium includes more than 20 nominal forms, most of them based on one or two individuals, which were first described during the 18th and 20th. Subsequent revisions reduced the number of species to three to four, depending upon the author. Within the genus, Lagidium viscacia (Molina, 1782) is the most widely distributed species, with populations apparently extended from western Bolivia to southern Argentina and Chile. We reviewed > 100 individuals of Lagidium, including skins and skulls, most of them collected in Argentina. We performed multivariate statistical analysis (i. e., principal component analysis [PCA], discriminant analysis [DA]) on a subset of 55 adult individuals grouped according to their geographical origin, using 16 skull and tooth measurements. In addition, we searched for differences in cranial anatomy across populations. PCA and DA indicate a moderate overlap between individuals from southern Argentina, on one hand, and northwestern Argentina, western Bolivia and northern Chile, on the other. The external coloration, although variable, showed a predominance of gray shades in southern Argentina and yellowish gray in northwestern Argentina.

It was internationally recognized as a Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere program in 1977 and inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1985. The park is situated in Cordillera Blanca; it is flanked to the east by Callejón de Conchucos valley and to the west by Callejón de Huaylas valley. Snow-capped peaks of majestic heights reaching between 5,000 m and 6,768 m altitude, deep ravines carved out by glacial fluvial erosion, and innumerable sparkling lagoons are all features of this incredible park, which is unparalleled in its beauty. Biodiversity Many rare and endangered flora and fauna species inhabit the park. The vicuña (Vicugna vicugna), spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus), and Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) are its most emblematic species. Other important mammals include whitetail deer (Odocoileus virginianus), Incan cougar (Puma concolor incarum), northern viscacha (Lagidium peruanum), and Andean fox also called culpeo (Pseudalopex culpaeus), among others. Native flora of the region is particularly diverse, made up of species from seven distinct life zones.
