Conservation Action Plan Villalba L, Lucherini M, Walker S, Cossíos D, Iriarte A, Sanderson J, Gallardo G, Alfaro F, Napolitano C, Sillero-Zubiri C. 2004. The Andean cat: Conservation action plan. La Paz, Bolivia: Andean Cat Alliance. 69 pp. Keywords: action plan/Andean cat/conservation/Oreailurus jacobita Abstract: The Andean cat (Oreailurus jacobita) is one of the least known felines in the world and is the most threatened felid species in the Americas. The available information suggests that this species has unique features and is genetically distinct from other small felid species, because it is very specialized to rocky habitats at elevations above 3500 m in the Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, chile and Perú. The document presents an assessment of the threats and the proposed actions to further the conservation of this unique species.

However, the knowledge of culturable bacterial communities found in this extreme ecotope’s soil is yet insufficient. Therefore, our research has been aimed to fulfil this lack of knowledge and improve the understanding of functioning of edaphic bacterial communities of the Central Mojave Desert soil. We characterized aerobic heterotrophic soil bacterial communities of the central region of the Mojave Desert. A high total number of prokaryotic cells and a high proportion of culturable forms in the soil studied were observed. Prevalence of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes was discovered. The dominance of pigmented strains in culturable communities and high proportion of thermotolerant and pH-tolerant bacteria were detected. Resistance to a number of salts, including the ones found in Martian regolith, as well as antibiotic resistance, were also estimated.

  • Politica Y Administracion De Chile Referida a La Región Transandina De Cuyo Y Buenos Aires, 1744-1817*
    Año VI - N° 9 / 2014 POLITICA Y ADMINISTRACION DE CHILE REFERIDA A LA REGIÓN * TRANSANDINA DE CUYO Y BUENOS AIRES, 1744-1817 Luz María Méndez Beltrán** Resumen En este artículo se analizan las acciones políticas y administrativas llevadas a cabo por las autoridades chilenas, desde 1772 a 1817, para mejorar la conexión con las regiones andinas. Concretamente, a través de la región de Cuyo con Buenos Aires. En el periodo de medio siglo considerado, a pesar de los cambios políticos sucedidos desde la época colonial a la republicana, se plantea la hipótesis de que se desarrolló una política continua, coherente y ordenada. De tal modo, fue posible resolver los problemas del tránsito y del comercio cordillerano, mejorando efectivamente la conexión y la vida cotidiana de ambas regiones trasandinas. Palabras clave: Tránsito, Comercio, rutas cordilleranas, aduanas Calificación JEL: Z0 Abstract This article discusses the political and administrative actions taken by the Chilean authorities, from 1772-1817, to better connect with the Andean regions. Specifically, through the region of Cuyo and Buenos Aires. In the half-century period considered, despite the political changes that have occurred since colonial times to the Republican, the hypothesis that a continuous, consistent and orderly policy was developed arises. Thus, it was possible to solve the problems of traffic and Andean trade, effectively connecting and improving the daily lives of the two trans-Andean regions.

  • Chinchillas History the Chinchilla Is a Rodent Which Is Closely Related To
    Chinchillas History The chinchilla is a rodent which is closely related to the guinea pig and porcupine. The pet chinchilla’s wild counterpart inhabits the Andes Mountain areas of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. In the wild state, they live at high altitudes in rocky, barren mountainous regions. They have been bred in captivity since 1923 primarily for their pelts. Some chinchillas that were fortunate enough to have substandard furs were sold as pets or research animals. Today chinchillas are raised for both pets and pelts. Chinchilla laniger is the main species bred today. They tend to be fairly clean, odorless, and friendly pets but usually are shy and easily frightened. They do not make very good pets for young children, since they tend to be high-strung and hyperactive (both children and chinchillas). The fur is extremely soft and beautiful bluish grey in color thus leading to their popularity in the pelt industry. Current color mutations include white, silver, beige, and black. Diet Commercial chinchilla pellets are available, but they are not available through all pet shops and feed stores. When the chinchilla variety is not in stock, a standard rabbit or guinea pig pellet can be fed in its place. Chinchillas tend to eat with their hands and often throw out a lot of pellets thus cause wastage. A pelleted formulation should constitute the majority of the animal’s diet. “Timothy”, or other grass hay, can be fed in addition to their pellets. Alfalfa hay is not recommended due to its high calcium content relative to phosphorus. Hay is a beneficial supplement to the diet for nutritional and psychological reasons.

    Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors www.apbc.org.uk E: [email protected] Chinchilla Factsheet Introduction Chinchillas are South American rodents with soft, dense coats, large ears and eyes and a long hairy curled tail. They are becoming increasingly popular as pets in the UK and can commonly be found for sale in pet shops. This species has complex social, environmental and behavioural needs which need to be met if they are to be kept happily as pets. This information leaflet is about the history and natural behaviour of the chinchilla, and how to meet their behavioural needs as pets. If you already have chinchillas, this guide willhelp you understand your chinchillas so that you can provide for their needs, and if you are thinking about getting chinchillas it can help you to decide whether they are the right pet for you and your household. The Natural History chinchillas have descended from 12 feed on different plants when they of Wild Chinchillas wild chinchillas (C. lanigera) captured become available so their diet varies in 1923 by Mathias.
