Food preferences and nutrient composition in captive pacas, Agouti paca (Rodentia, Dasyproctidae)

Mammalian Biology, 2003
The purpose of this study was to assess the occurrence of food preferences in captive pacas, a frugivorous New World rodent species, and to analyse whether these preferences correlate with nutrient composition. Using a two-alternative choice test six Agouti paca were repeatedly presented with all possible binary combinations of 12 types of food which ...

Characteristics of the Larval Echinococcus vogeli Rausch and Bernstein, 1972 in the Natural Intermediate Host, the Paca, Cuniculus Paca L. (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae)

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981
In Colombia, the natural intermediate host of Echinococcus vogeli Rausch and Bernstein, 1972 is the paca, Cuniculus paca L. (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae). The larval cestode develops in the liver of the host, where it usually is situated superficially, partly exposed beneath Glisson's capsule. The infective larva consists of a subspherical to asymmetrical,

Abundance of the exploited red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina Rodentia: Dasyproctidae) on the island of Trinidad

Mammalia, 2021
Abstract Despite their economic, ecological and cultural importance, few studies have examined the population size, distribution and trends of the red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina) on the island of Trinidad. This study reports densities of agouti on Trinidad during a three-year period, including two years of a moratorium on hunting.

A systematic review of agouti (Dasyproctidae: Dasyprocta) records from the pre‐1492 Lesser Antilles: New perspectives on an introduced commensal

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2021
AbstractThe agouti (Dasyprocta sp.), a medium‐sized neotropical rodent, was introduced by indigenous peoples to the Caribbean islands over a millennium ago and is recorded at archeological sites throughout the Lesser Antilles and southern Caribbean. Like many commensal fauna, these mammals are valuable proxies for deciphering ancient human practices ...
