Journal ArticleDOI
Potential impact of the Alien American Mink (Neovison vison) on Magellanic woodpeckers (Campephilus magellanicus) in Navarino Island, Southern Chile
Jaime E. Jiménez,Jaime E. Jiménez,Ramiro D. Crego,Gerardo E. Soto,Irán Román,Ricardo Rozzi,Ricardo Rozzi,Pablo M. Vergara +7 more
TL;DR: To the knowledge, these are the first evidences of predation on this charismatic and endemic woodpecker and indicate that mink might have a more widespread impact on forest birds than was initially suspected.
Journal ArticleDOI
A synergistic trio of invasive mammals? Facilitative interactions among beavers, muskrats, and mink at the southern end of the Americas
TL;DR: The facilitative interactions among beavers, muskrats, and mink suggest that an invasive meltdown process may exist; however further research is needed to confirm this hypothesis, and a community-level management to conserve the biological integrity of native ecosystems is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change and conservation implications for wet meadows in dry Patagonia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the distribution of meadows in the arid and semi-arid Argentinean Patagonia by 2050 using change trends and areas of desertification vulnerability using species distribution models (SDM) and climate change models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal dynamics of wild herbivore species richness and occupancy across a savannah rangeland: Implications for conservation
Ramiro D. Crego,Joseph O. Ogutu,Harry B. M. Wells,Gordon O. Ojwang,Dino J. Martins,Peter Leimgruber,Jared A. Stabach +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Bayesian hierarchical, multi-species and multi-year occupancy model on aerial survey data of 15 wild-herbivore species, spanning 15 years (2001-2016) to investigate the spatiotemporal trends in species occurrence and richness across a mosaic of properties with different land uses in Laikipia County, central Kenya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macro- and micro-habitat selection of small rodents and their predation risk perception under a novel invasive predator at the southern end of the Americas
TL;DR: Results suggest that A. xanthorhinus can perceive predation risk by raptors, but not by mink, results that accord with the hypothesis that co-evolutionary history is important for rodents to develop antipredator behavior.
