Genetic Variation in Coat Colour Genes MC1R and ASIP Provides Insights Into Domestication and Management of South American Camelids

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
The domestication of wild vicuña and guanaco by early pre-Inca cultures is an iconic example of wildlife management and domestication in the Americas.

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 ...

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.

Paleoseismic Evidence of Recent Co‐Seismic Ruptures in Western Tierra del Fuego, Chile

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Magallanes‐Fagnano fault (MFF) in Tierra del Fuego (TDF) is a major left‐lateral transform boundary between the South American and Scotia plates. While surface ruptures associated with the 1949 earthquakes have been documented in Argentina east of the Fagnano Lake, their extension to the west remained uncertain.

Yarns from the desert: sustainable guanaco management

open access: yes, 2016
As with most wild ungulates, guanacos compete for pasture with domestic livestock. In Southern Patagonia, Argentina, conflict between guanaco conservation and sheep rearing has increased in recent years due to severe droughts and increased ...

Bayesian inference on the effect of density dependence and weather on a guanaco population from Chile.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Understanding the mechanisms that drive population dynamics is fundamental for management of wild populations. The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is one of two wild camelid species in South America.

Inbreeding in a Fission–Fusion Equid Decreases Following an Increase in the Number and Redistribution of Water Sources

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Social structures and habitat configuration influence inbreeding in wild populations. In harem‐forming, female‐defence polygynous equids, social organization promotes inbreeding avoidance, but this has not been studied in fission–fusion, resource‐defence equid species.

Biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth in post‐fire restoration of Patagonian Nothofagus pumilio forests

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
In post‐fire subantarctic forests of Torres del Paine National Park, nucleation‐based reforestation of Nothofagus pumilio was evaluated over 5 years to assess how the identity, proximity, and lateral coverage of biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth.

Conflict between Farmers and Guanacos (Lama guanicoe cacsilensis): Field Surveys, Remote Sensing, and Interviews Provide Information for Conservation of a Critically Endangered Species in Southern Peru

open access: yesAnimals
The Peruvian guanaco (Lama guanicoe cacsilensis) is classified as being “in critical danger of extinction” by the government. In this study, we evaluate how the conflict between farmers and guanacos in the Susapaya and Estique Districts, Tacna Department
