Guanaco management by pastoralists in the Southern Andes [PDF]

Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice, 2012
As with most wild ungulates, guanacos (Lama guanicoe) overlap their range with domestic livestock resulting in a conflict for the use of rangelands between local livelihoods and conservation. This article explores a multiple-objective project that was set up in the La Payunia Provincial Reserve (Mendoza, Argentina) in order to address conservation of a

Challenges and opportunities in mitigating sarcoptic mange in wild South American camelids

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wild South American camelids—vicuña and guanaco—face threats from sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease linked to severe population declines. Despite its impact, major gaps remain in understanding disease dynamics. This review summarizes current knowledge, identifies key data and management gaps, and outlines urgent actions for effective ...

Sexual and Age‐Related Morphological Variations in the Pelvis of Lama guanicoe guanicoe (Artiodactyla: Camelidae)

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores the scope of sexual and age‐related discrimination in the hemipelvises of Lama guanicoe guanicoe (Müller 1776), a species that lacks postcranial secondary sexual characteristics. Using two‐dimensional geometric morphometric techniques, changes in shape and size of the coxae bones from 50 individuals of both sexes and varying ...

Structural and Functional Properties of Araucaria araucana and Araucaria angustifolia Seed Proteins as a Plant‐Based Food Source

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 3, Issue 4, December 2025.
Morphologically, A. angustifolia seeds were significantly larger, while A. araucana exhibited more regular, triangular shapes. Proximate composition revealed a carbohydrate‐rich profile in both species, with a significantly higher lipid content in A. araucana. Amino acid analysis showed similar profiles, with high levels of aspartic and glutamic acids.
