Habitat studies at different spatial scales for multiple conservation goals in the Parana River Delta (Argentina)

| Sumario: | The Parana River Delta has a high avian diversity and abundance of mammal species like the capybara Hydrochaerus hydrochaeris and the coypu Myocaster coypus. Studies of diet associations, habitat selection and habitat structure, were carried out to relate the landscape heterogeneity to key factors that favour the conservation of these species. The main factors affecting their abundance are particular food items for capybara and size and spatial disposition of freshwater marshes for coypu. Avian diversity was closely related to multiple habitat layers, that are related in turn with vegetation strata. -from Authors |
