Un modèle pour la domestication du llama (Lama glama Linnaeus, 1758) dans les Andes du sud [PDF]

, 2016
The aim of this paper is to present a three-stage model that specifies the possible mechanisms for the domestication of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe cacsilensis Lönnberg, 1913), which gave origin to the llama (Lama glama Linnaeus, 1758).

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 ...

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Differential Bone Survivorship and Ontogenetic Development in Guanaco (Lama guanicoe)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2011
ABSTRACTThis paper presents the results of a taphonomic research programme conducted over the past 5 years. The main objective of the programme is to investigate differential survivorship in guanaco (Lama guanicoe) bones, taking into account the ontogenetic development of this species and the densitometric characteristics of its skeletal parts.

Foxes as pets: Case study of the Fuegian Dog and its relationship to extinct Indigenous cultures

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 1, Page 5-18, September 2025.
This is a rare glimpse into the historical past of the zoologically mysterious Fuegian Dog that lived with early Holocene Indigenous groups on the island of Tierra del Fuego. Records of the animal's appearance and behavior kept by early explorers, artists and scientists who travelled to the tip of South America, plus the genetics and archaeological ...

Tracing Human Diversity in South America's Southern Cone: Linguistic, Morphometric, and Genetic Perspectives Explorando la Diversidad Humana en el Cono Sur de América del Sur: Perspectivas Lingüísticas, Morfométricas y Genéticas

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Studying the relationship between biological and cultural diversity can lead to rich insights into human history. South America has been relatively neglected in this kind of work, even though it intriguingly exhibits unexpectedly high biological and cultural diversity.

Taxonomic and biogeographical status of guanaco Lama guanicoe (Artiodactyla, Camelidae)

Mammal Review, 2006
ABSTRACT We review the status of the four currently recognized guanaco Lama guanicoe subspecies, and provide information about their taxonomy and distribution. The success of guanaco in inhabiting open habitats of South America is based mainly on the flexibility of their social behaviour and ecophysiological adaptations to harsh environments. Lönnberg

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Ecogeographical rules for animal coloration include Gloger's rule, which states that homeotherms are darker at lower latitudes; however, 19th‐century naturalists observed that animals are more colourful in the tropics. We investigated these ideas across the head, torso, legs and tail regions of 2726 species of terrestrial mammals using phylogenetic ...
