Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 4, December 2026.
By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

Surplus Killing of Magellanic Penguins Spheniscus magellanicus by Puma Puma concolor) in Islote Lobos National Park, Northern Patagonia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We document repeated surplus killing events by pumas (Puma concolor) affecting breeding colonies of Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) in Islote Lobos National Park, northern Patagonia, Argentina. During the 2025–2026 breeding season, at least 961 penguins were killed, representing the largest natural mortality event recorded in the colony ...

Choosing what is left: the spatial structure of a wild herbivore population within a livestock-dominated landscape [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Shrublands and grasslands comprise over 30% of the land surface and are among the most exploited ecosystems for livestock production. Across natural landscapes, the distribution and abundance of wild herbivores are affected by interspecific competition ...

Ontogenia y dimorfismo sexual en la pelvis del guanaco: una evaluación morfogeométrica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
El guanaco presenta un bajo dimor smo sexual a nivel esqueletal. Los principales estudios que evalúan las diferencias osteológicas entre machos y hembras en esta especie se basan en el análisis de variables morfométricas dentales y en caracteres ...

Sociability Under Anthropogenic Change: From Individual Behaviour to Population‐Level Consequences

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our review synthesises empirical and theoretical research on how anthropogenic environmental change reshapes animal social behaviour from individuals to populations. We use sociability as an individual‐level lens, distinguishing context‐dependent expression from repeatable interindividual differences and linking both to social relationships, network ...

Anthropological Perspective of the Human–Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) Interaction Over the Last 6000 Years in the Piedra Parada Area (Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina)

open access: yes, 2022
Guanaco biological information is crucial for archeologists in order to understand the role of this camelid in past societies. In contrast, little relevance is given to archeological or anthropological knowledge to understand the modern guanaco ...

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Evaluating novel attachment methods for tracking devices on terrestrial mammals

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We deployed GNSS tracking devices on 2 endangered large terrestrial mammals, scimitar‐horned oryx and Przewalski's horses, using novel attachment methods. Tags achieved fix success rates and spatial accuracy that compare well with standard collars used on large mammals.

Estimación de la edad de guanaco (Lama guanicoe) a partir de los dientes incisivos: un aporte metodológico para la construcción de perfiles de mortalidad

open access: yesRevista del Museo de Antropologia, 2017
El guanaco fue el principal recurso para los cazadores-recolectores que habitaron las regiones pampeana y patagónica de Argentina. Este ungulado jugó un rol fundamental en las esferas económica, social e ideológica de estas sociedades durante el Holoceno.
