| 2007 Full Book | |
Between January of 2005 and December of 2006, studies on the composition and relative abundance of medium and large sized mammals were carried out in Turvo State Park. Records came from camera-trapping, in addition to visualization and presence and absence data from track surveys along pre determined transects. At total, 29 species of medium-large sized mammals were listed. Of these, _Dasyprocta azarae_ Lichtenstein 1823 (Rodentia) and _Sylvilagus brasiliensis_ (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lagomorpha) were the most frequently found. For carnivores, the majority of records were for _Nasua nasua_ (Linnaeus, 1766) (Carnivora) and _Leopardus pardalis_ (Linnaeus, 1758) (Carnivora), whereas _Leopardus tigrinus_ (Schreber, 1775) (Carnivora), _Leopardus wiedii_ (Schinz, 1782) (Carnivora) and _Galictis cuja_ (Molina 1782) (Carnivora) had the least. Among the ungulates, only _Pecari tajacu_ (Linnaeus, 1758) (Artiodactyla) showed frequent records, ranking fourth overall. Some species, common to other environments, showed few records at Turvo State Park, such as _Dasypus novemcinctus_ Linnaeus, 1758 (Xenarthra) and _Didelphis albiventris_ Lund, 1840 (Didelphimorphia). Data was suggestive of the probable local extinction of _Tayassu pecari_ (Link, 1795) (Artiodactyla) in the Park. The conservation of the medium and large sized mammals of this Conservation Unity is strongly associated with the conservation of the "Misiones Green Corridor", which probably represents a source area for many species. |
