Context The guanaco is the largest wild herbivore inhabiting the Patagonian steppes. Since
the end of the 19th Century, it has suffered a progressive decline in numbers owing to …

Abstract The Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) has suffered a progressive decline in numbers
because of unregulated hunting and poaching by an assumed competition with sheep …

Abstract Background Guanacos (Lama guanicoe) are thought to have declined in Patagonia
mainly as a result of hunting and sheep ranching. Currently accepted estimates of total …

Spatially explicit modelling allows to estimate population abundance and predict species'
distribution in relation to environmental factors. Abiotic factors are the main determinants of a …

Food availability, predation risk, climatic adversity, and human disturbance are usually
considered relevant factors influencing the distribution of wild ungulates. Poaching and …

Wild herbivore distribution responds to habitat and forage availability modulated by
predation risk and interspecific interactions. Nowadays, the study of distribution and …

Guanaco responses to spatial heterogeneity were evaluated in La Payunia Protected Area,
Patagonia, through analysis of guanaco diet and density, and food availability, in four …

The spatial distribution of ungulate densities is determined by their decisions on habitat
selection, modulated by environmental characteristics and human activities. Poaching and …

The first density estimates of a peripheral guanaco population and its habitat use at different
spatial scales are presented for a protected area of Monte desert, Argentina. Transects were …

El guanaco (Lama guanicoe) es el ungulado silvestre más abundante de ambientes áridos
de Sudamérica. Sin embargo, sus poblaciones declinaron continuamente desde la …
