A comparison of two methods for acquiring ecological data on armadillos from Argentinean Pampas: field work vs interviews

The objective of this work is to compare information collected on the ecology of three species of Pampean armadillos (Chaetophractus villosus, C. vellerosus and Dasypus hybridus), obtained through interviews with the information obtained previously in a typical ecological field study. The study area...

The study area encompasses ~1000km2 of the northeastern part of the Pampas grasslands of Argentina. Thirty four farms evenly distributed throughout the study area were randomly selected and either the farmer or an employee was interviewed on the presence of armadillos. Traditional ecological data were collected in two ways: searching for indirect signs of armadillos and capturing and marking live individuals. The majority of the results were coincident between both methods. It is concluded that interviews can contribute to ecological research in the Pampas grassland by helping to design field surveys in the initial phase of a study. Interviews can be an important tool in decision making regarding land use and management, because they are a low cost method in terms of time and budget, and do provide reliable results.El propósito de este trabajo es comparar la información acerca de la ecología de tres especies de armadillos de las Pampas (Chaetophractus villosus, C. vellerosus y Dasypus hybridus) recogida a través de entrevistas con aquella información previamente obtenida en un estudio ecológico de campo típico. El área de estudio abarca ~1000km2 del noreste de las Pampas argentinas. Fueron seleccionadas al azar 34 estancias homogé- neamente distribuidas en el área de estudio y se entrevistó a los hacendados o a empleados. Los datos ecológicos tradicionales fueron obtenidos a través de dos maneras: buscando signos indirectos de la presencia de armadillos, y por la captura y marcaje de individuos vivos. La mayoría de los resultados fueron coincidentes en los dos métodos. Se concluye que las entrevistas pueden contribuir a la investigación ecológica en las llanuras pampeanas al ayudar en las fases iniciales de un estudio al diseño de levantamientos en campo. Las entrevistas pueden constituir una herramienta importante en la toma de decisiones acerca del uso y manejo de la tierra, dado que representan un método de bajo costo en términos de tiempo y dinero, a la par de aportar resultados confiables.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo2010-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticulohttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:ar-repo/semantics/articuloapplication/pdf450-454http://sedici.unlp.edu.ar/handle/10915/101212enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/https://ri.conicet.gov.ar/11336/14293info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/https://www.interciencia.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/450-c-ABBA-5.pdfinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=33913158009info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/0378-1844info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/hdl/11336/14293info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)reponame:SEDICI (UNLP)instname:Universidad Nacional de La Platainstacron:UNLP2024-05-08T12:58:54Zoai:sedici.unlp.edu.ar:10915/101212Institucionalhttp://sedici.unlp.edu.ar/Universidad públicaNo correspondehttp://sedici.unlp.edu.ar/oai/snrdalira@sedici.unlp.edu.arArgentinaNo correspondeNo correspondeNo correspondeopendoar:13292024-05-08 12:58:55.213SEDICI (UNLP) - Universidad Nacional de La Platafalse
