The distribution of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe) in Patagonia during Late Pleistocene–Holocene and its importance for prehistoric human diet

The Holocene, 2020
The great importance of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe) for the subsistence of the human populations of Patagonia during the Holocene has been demonstrated in numerous studies.

Human diet evolution in Patagonia was driven by the expansion of Lama guanicoe after megafaunal extinctions

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2020
The interaction between human populations and their prey is of great interest in ecological, anthropological and archaeological studies. In Patagonia, several works have revealed the importance of one particular species in the diet of prehistoric human ...

Thermal conductance of guanaco (Lama guanicoe) pelage

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2005
Abstract 1. Guarded hot plate technique was used to measure thermal conductance of winter, summer and sheared pelts of Lama guanicoe. 2. Mean thermal conductance of winter and summer pelage was 1.64 W/m2 °C and 1.79 W/m2 °C, respectively. 3. Mean heat loss in natural pelage, in free convection conditions was 1.74 W/m2 °C and 2.3 W/m2 °C in sheared ...

Navigating conflict between ranchers and guanacos (Lama guanicoe): do sustainable use strategies offer a viable option to foster tolerance and coexistence?

Human Dimensions of Wildlife
As human–wildlife conflict intensifies globally, sustainable use emerges as a potential strategy to foster tolerance. We evaluated ranchers’ tolerance towards guanacos (Lama guanicoe)—a large herbivore seen as a livestock competitor—on the Argentine side

Molecular characterization of the first isolation of rotavirus in guanacos (Lama guanicoe)

Archives of Virology, 2004
Rotaviruses (RVs) are a major cause of neonatal diarrhoea in humans and numerous animal species. We report G-type, P-type and phylogenetic analysis of two RV strains isolated from newborn guanacos (Lama guanicoe) with acute diarrhoea in Argentina. Isolates were group A G8 RV.

Determination of age and sex on dental pieces of Lama guanicoe: A methodological approach

open access: yes, 2014
Archaeozoological studies in central Tierra del Fuego are limited by the possibilities of bone conservation. This region is characterized by the development of the sub-Antarctic forest, where survival of organic material is very low, due to factors such as the acidity produced by leaves decomposition, humidity, roots action, ground freezing, etc.

Ovarian follicular dynamics and hormonal secretory profiles in guanacos (Lama guanicoe)

Animal Reproduction Science, 2010
The objective of the present study was to describe ovarian activity in 11 adult non-mated guanacos, evaluated every second day for 40 days by transrectal ultrasonography and by plasma estradiol-17beta and progesterone concentrations. An inverse relationship (r = -0.29, P < 0.001) was observed between the diameter of the largest ovarian follicle and the

Finding of polydactyly in a free-ranging guanaco (Lama guanicoe)

Small Ruminant Research, 2008
Polydactylism, a genetic defect characterized by partial or complete duplication of the digit, has been described in a wide range of vertebrates. Among ungulates, polydactyly appears to be relatively common in domestic camelids, with reports in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius), llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Vicugna pacos). However, in wild South

Sarcocystis sp. in guanaco (Lama guanicoe) and effect of temperature on its viability

Veterinary Parasitology, 1984
The biology of the Sarcocystis sp. that infect guanacoes was studied by feeding the infected meat to dogs, cats, rats and mice. Tissues from guanaco, heavily infected with macrocysts, were fed to these animals and their faeces collected daily and examined for the presence or absence of sporocysts.

Differentiation of foraging areas of Lama guanicoe (Camelidae) in Patagonia using multiproxy analysis of feces: Modern reference dataset for paleoecological reconstruction

The Holocene
Paleoecological studies based on camelid coprolites analysis provide valuable information about diet, vegetation, and habitats. In Patagonia, Argentina, relationships between humans and camelids date back to the early Holocene.
