About this item
Este Illustrated Checklist cubre el Cono Sur de Sudamérica y sus islas asociadas (islas de la zona austral argentina y chilena, Malvinas, Islas Desventuradas y Archipiélago Juan Fernández), una región rica en diversidad de hábitats y abundancia de mamíferos. Sin tratarse de una típica guía tradicional, este libro ayudará, tanto a residentes como a visitantes, a conocer las especies de mamíferos que se encuentran en la región. Trata 486 especies de mamíferos, incluidas 17 especies introducidas con poblaciones establecidas (Antílope indio, Ardilla de Pallas, Axis, Castor americano, Ciervo, Conejo europeo, Gamo, Jabalí, Liebre europea, Mono ardilla boliviano, Muflón, Rata almizclera, Rata parda, Rata negra, Rata del Pacífico, Ratón casero y Visón americano), y tres domesticados (Alpaca, Llama y Búfalo de agua). Todas las especies están ilustradas e incluyen un mapa de distribución. La Alpaca y la Llama, tienen un tratamiento completo debido a su importancia regional, mientras que el Búfalo de agua se ha incluido porque existen poblaciones asilvestradas para su explotación cinegética. La superficie terrestre del Cono Sur (incluido el sureste de Brasil) representa el 26% de la superficie terrestre total de Sudamérica. Incluye una amplia gama de hábitats: desde las llanuras semiáridas del Chaco y las selvas tropicales de la mata atlántica en el norte, hasta las frías estepas patagónicas en el sur; y desde los desiertos, el Matorral chileno y la Selva Valdiviana de la costa del Pacífico en el oeste, hasta las praderas de la Pampa en el este, incluyendo asimismo gran parte de los Andes y sus hábitats característicos. Esta área alberga una importante biodiversidad de flora y fauna e incluye numerosas especies endémicas, incluyendo también familias endémicas como Microbiotheriidae (Monito del Monte) y Pontoporiidae (Franciscana). También incluye algunas de las mejores áreas para observar mamíferos de toda Sudamérica, como el Parque Nacional Iguazú, la Reserva Natural Iberá y la Península Valdés en Argentina; los parques nacionales Lauca, Chiloé y Torres del Paine en Chile; y la Reserva de la Biosfera de Mbaracayú y el Parque Nacional Defensores del Chaco en Paraguay.
