Resumen

PAGNUTTI, Noralí et al. Patrones estacionales de distribución espacial y área de acción del piche llorón, Chaetophractus vellerosus (Cingulata: Dasypodidae), en Magdalena, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.1, pp.59-65. ISSN 0327-9383.

The home range of the scream­ing hairy armadillo Chaetophractus vellerosus was estimated and its spatial pattern described under different degrees of land use pressure. Fieldwork was performed between 2006 and 2011 on a cattle ranch in Magdalena (Buenos Aires , Argentina), in two paddocks of similar size but with different intensities of use (North: low; South: high). A total of 213 individuals were captured (102 males and 111 females). Data from 30 adult individuals (12 males and 18 females) were analyzed in order to determine the home range using the minimum convex polygon method. The spatial pattern was described based on 85 captures and the nearest neighbor method. No significant differences in home range size were observed between sexes and seasons (fall-winter: males 0.23 ha, females 0.27 ha; spring-summer: males 0.75 ha, females 0.13 ha). The spatial distribution of armadillos was ag­gregated in both paddocks in fall-winter, being higher in the paddock with low intensity of use. An aggregated distribution was also observed during spring-summer in the southern paddock, while a random arrangement was found in the northern paddock. The home range of C. vellerosus is not affected by sex or season. The spatial arrangement of individuals is influenced by the intensity of land use.
