General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2020
State-dependent foraging theory posits that animals should make foraging decisions based on energetic condition, where animals with fewer energetic reserves prioritize foraging over other behaviors, including antipredator behaviors. However, few studies have investigated these trade-offs at an individual level in wild, free-ranging animals.

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
The objective of the present study was to determine the composition of the vicuña (V. vicugna mensalis) diet at the end of the drought period (November, 2019) in the San Cristobal de Lucanas Community, in the department of Ayacucho, Peru. Eight sites were chosen, where vicuñas were observed grazing in Pajonal (tussock grassland), Cesped (short ...

Foraging ecology of Vicuña, Vicugna vicugna, in dry Puna of Argentina
Small Ruminant Research, 2010Abstract Vicuna, Vicugna vicugna, is one of the few large native herbivores of South American and it is considered a keystone resource for the Andean Region. We studied foraging ecology of free ranging vicunas at Laguna Blanca MAB-UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (Catamarca, Argentina), within dry Puna environment. Vicunas showed a stable diet throughout the

Aspects of play behaviour of vicuña, Vicugna vicugna
Small Ruminant Research, 1994Abstract Calves and yearling vicunas (Vicugna vicugna) were observed in the INTA-Abrapampa, Jujuy, Argentina. Vicunas played more early in the morning and late afternoon, and generally play behaviour was performed between two animals belonging to the same family. About 20% of playing included calves from different families.

Molecular identification of Sarcocystis aucheniae in the wild South American camelid Vicugna vicugna
Veterinary Research CommunicationsVicuñas (Vicugna vicugna) are wild South American camelids (SACs) protected by law in Argentina, and information on pathogens that infect them is scarce. In this study, an adult vicuña found dead in the province of Salta was examined, and evidence of infection by Sarcocystis sp. protozoans was sought. Infection of skeletal muscles by S. aucheniae, with

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic diversity of Vicugna vicugna mensalis in Bolivia
2011The vicuna (Vicugna vicugna) is one of two wild South American camelids. Nowadays in Bolivia, there are over 62,869 animals representing 20% of the world’s population breeding in the wild as the only management system. Two subspecies of vicuna are currently accepted, based largely on genetic and size differences: Vicugna vicugna vicugna, distributed in
