The two last of these oficinas were María Elena (founded in 1925) and Pedro de Valdivia (1931), whose development marked the introduction of the Guggenheim ...

Small mammals of the Atacama Desert (Chile)
Journal of Arid Environments, 1999Abstract The little-known mammalian fauna of the Atacama Desert and adjacent Puna in northern Chile is analysed by means of live-trapping, and examination of fox scats and owl pellets. On the basis of physiognomy, climate, altitude and vegetation, four biomes were recognized: coastal lowland Lomas, mid-altitude Riparian and Oasis biomes, and highland
