Social group dynamics and composition of managed wild vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna vicugna) in Jujuy, Argentina

open access: yesJournal of Ethology, 2018
The vicuna is a high Andean wild camelid that lives year-long in groups. We analyzed the social organization of 98 marked vicunas after capture and live shearing, focusing on group composition, spatial patterns, territoriality and habitat use. The social units analyzed were families, bachelor groups and solo animals.

Fetal mortality diagnosis by ultrasound in the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna)

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2003
Ultrasonography is widely used in domestic species of camelids, but there is no information about the use of this technique for pregnancy diagnosis and determination of embryonic or fetal losses in the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna). The study was performed in 202 vicuñas (3-year-old females, n = 31; adult females, n = 171) mated during the summer months ...

Biometric characteristics in vicuñas (Vicugna Vicugna mensalis)

Small Ruminant Research, 2019
Abstract The objectives were to determine the phenotypic correlations between biometric characteristics and obtain predictive functions of vicuna body weight (BW) at shearing. Measurements were recorded in 69 males and 119 females in the area of influence of the Campesino Community of Huachocolpa, Huancavelica region of Peru, during the annual ...

Glucocorticoid and triiodothyronine concentrations do not correlate with behavior in vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna)

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.

Follicular activity and hormonal secretory profile in vicuna (Vicugna vicugna)

Theriogenology, 2004
The objective of the present study was to characterize ovarian activity in non-mated vicunas, relating ovarian structures (evaluated by transrectal ultrasonography, daily for 30 days) to changes in plasma concentrations of estradiol-17beta and progesterone.
