Pampas deer, armadillos and coypus: Autochthonous mammals and land use changes, agri-cultural managements and presence of new elements in the rural landscape

Agriculture has been and still remains as a huge transforming power of our planet. In Argentina, agroecosystems of the pampas have also changed accordingly, led by agricultural expansion and the massive adoption of no-till system, along with territorial reorganization and intensification of livestoc...
