  • Endangered Andean Cat Distribution Beyond the Andes in Patagonia
    original contribution ANDRES NOVARO1,2, SUSAN WALKER2*, ROCIO PALACIOS1,3, SEBASTIAN DI MARTINO4, MARTIN MONTEVERDE5, SEBASTIAN CANADELL6, LORENA RIVAS1,2 AND DANIEL COSSIOS7 Endangered Andean cat distribution beyond the Andes in Patagonia The endangered Andean cat Leopardus jacobita was considered an endemic of the Andes at altitudes above 3,000 m, until it was discovered in the Andean foothills of central Argentina in 2004. We carried out surveys for Andean cats and sympatric small cats in the central Andean foothills and the adjacent Patagonian steppe, and found Andean cats outside the Andes at elevations as low as 650 m. We determined that Andean cats are widespread but rare in the northern Patagonian steppe, with a patchy distribution. Our findings suggest that the species’ distribution may follow that of its principal prey, the rock-dwelling mountain vizcacha. The Andean cat was previously believed to be distribution if it does indeed follow that of the endemic to the Andes above 3,000 m (Yensen mountain vizcacha.

  • Climate, Tectonics, and the Morphology of the Andes
    Climate, tectonics, and the morphology of the Andes David R. Montgomery Greg Balco Sean D. Willett Department of Geological Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle 98195-1310, USA ABSTRACT Large-scale topographic analyses show that hemisphere-scale climate variations are a ®rst-order control on the morphology of the Andes. Zonal atmospheric circulation in the Southern Hemisphere creates strong latitudinal precipitation gradients that, when incor- porated in a generalized index of erosion intensity, predict strong gradients in erosion rates both along and across the Andes. Cross-range asymmetry, width, hypsometry, and maximum elevation re¯ect gradients in both the erosion index and the relative dominance of ¯uvial, glacial, and tectonic processes, and show that major morphologic features cor- relate with climatic regimes. Latitudinal gradients in inferred crustal thickening and struc- tural shortening correspond to variations in predicted erosion potential, indicating that, like tectonics, nonuniform erosion due to large-scale climate patterns is a ®rst-order con- trol on the topographic evolution of the Andes.

Migratory Bird Management, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Anchorage, AK 99503, USA Received 19 April 2013; accepted 17 June 2013 SUMMARY DUFFY, D.C., MCKNIGHT, A. & IRONS, D.B. 2013. Trans-Andean passage of migrating Arctic Terns over Patagonia. Marine Ornithology 41: 155–159. We assessed migration routes of Arctic Terns Sterna paradisaea breeding in Prince William Sound, Alaska, by deploying geolocator tags on 20 individuals in June 2007, recovering six upon their return in 2008 and 2009. The terns migrated south along the North and South American coastlines. As they neared the southern end of the Humboldt Current upwelling off Chile, they stopped their over-water migration and turned eastward, crossing the Andes to reach rich foraging areas in the South Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Argentina. Challenging sea and weather conditions, rather than paucity of food, likely deterred further movement south along the Chilean coast. Key words: Alaska, Arctic Tern, Andes, Argentina, Chile, geolocation, Humboldt Current, migration, Patagonia, Sterna paradisaea INTRODUCTION the tags’ view of the horizon and displaced positions calculated during the crossing, we defined the crossing distance as the distance Arctic Terns Sterna paradisaea have the longest known migration between the last Pacific point and the first Atlantic point, ignoring of any bird species, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, covering up intermediate points occurring on land.

SHEAR SALVATION At the edge of the world, the wind is strong enough to make you stumble, and it never seems to stop. Constant gusts batter the southernmost tip of Argentina, just across the Strait of Magellan from Tierra del Fuego, where sheep graze on gently rolling grasslands as whitecaps race across the South Atlantic. David Fenton holds his hat on tight as he gazes across the Estancia Monte Dinero, a 65,000-acre ranch estate that has been in his family for five generations. “The wind is dangerous,” he says. “It can separate lambs from their mothers. We’ve had gusts over 75 miles per hour.” The wind may be endless, but change is coming to this part of Patagonia, the remote region spanning southern Argentina and Chile.

MATHEMATICS AND ACCOUNTING IN THE ANDES BEFORE AND AFTER THE SPANISH CONQUEST In an article entitled “Western mathematics: The secret weapon of cultural imperi- alism,” Bishop (1990) argues that Western European colonizing societies of the 15th to 19th centuries were especially effective in imposing on subordinate popula- tions the values of rationalism and “objectivism” – defined as a way of conceiving of the world as composed of discrete objects that could be abstracted from their contexts – primarily through “mathematico-technological cultural force” embedded in institutions relating to accounting, trade, administration, and education (Bishop, 1990). Thus, mathematics with its clear rationalism, and cold logic, its precision, its so- called ‘objective’ facts (seemingly culture and value free), its lack of human frailty, its power to predict and to control, its encouragement to challenge and to question, and its thrust towards yet more secure knowledge, was a most powerful weapon indeed.

  • Argentina, La Rosita 2013.Pub
    RIDE WORLD WIDE Argentina Estancia La Rosita, Corrientes 2013 Ride Information Sheet Estancia La Rosita is in Argentine Mesopotamia in the north east of the country, an area rich in history and legend, and with terrain vividly different from the vast windswept expanses of Patagonia, or the rolling hills of the Sierras Chicas. Semi-tropical and ringing with the song of frogs, Corrientes is a landscape of extensive grassland liberally sprinkled with water meadows, domain of the capybara (the giant guinea pig like creatures of the South American wetlands), where cattle and horses wade up to their bellies. This is still a place where the gaudily-garbed gaucho lives on horseback - and there is a saying “One gaucho Correntino is equal to ten from the rest of the country”. As well as being Jesuit country, Corrientes is also steeped in the myths of the indigenous Guarani people and is also the birthplace of rather more tangible legends such as the Argentine hero Jose de San Martín, one of the Liberators of Spanish South America. It is also reputed to be the birthplace of Gauchito Gil, an Argentine folk hero, a man so famous that not only are there numerous scarlet roadside shrines in his honour, but also a brand of the herbal tea, 'mate', a tradition in itself, named after him. Estancia La Rosita is home to your host Fernando Landgraf and his family, and has been part of his mother’s family estates for generations. The estancia was built in the last century in typically Corrientes style with a low roof and wide terrace, surrounded by lush garden and is set in 6000 acres populated by cattle, horses and plenty of wildlife.
