Feeding habits of Molina´s hog-nosed skunk in Pampas Grassland of Argentina
(de Gruyter, 2014-11)
We studied the feeding ecology of Molina´s hog-nosed skunk (Conepatus chinga) in a protected area of the Pampas grassland by comparing the content of scats (140 samples) to prey abundance (estimated by invertebrate capture ...
Activity patterns of Molina's hog-nosed skunk in two areas of the Pampas grassland (Argentina) under different anthropogenic pressure
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-11)
This study describes and compares the activity patterns of free-ranging Molina´s hog-nosed skunks (Conepatus chinga) in a protected area (PA) and in a cropland area (CA) in the Pampas grassland of Argentina. Sixteen skunks ...
Field immobilization of Molina's Hog-nosed Skunk (Conepatus chinga) Using Ketamine and Xylazine
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2012-01)
We injected 27 adult Molina’s hognosed skunks (Conepatus chinga) intramuscularly by hand with ketamine hydrochloride (KH) and xylazine hydrochloride (XH) in the Pampas grassland of Argentina. Skunks were immobilized with ...
Habitat selection of Molina's hog-nosed skunks in relation to prey abundance in the Pampas grassland of Argentina
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2012-06)
We radiotracked 16 (6 males, 10 females) adult Molina's hog-nosed skunks (Conepatus chinga) to examine habitat selection using compositional analysis at 2 spatial scales in a protected area and a landscape fragmented by ...
A test of the Resource's and Bergmann's rules in a widely distributed small carnivore from southern South America, Conepatus chinga (Molina, 1782) (Carnivora: Mephitidae)
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2016-01)
Bergmann's rule is one of the most known biological rules and relates the body size variation to changes in latitude or temperature. Most recently, a "resource rule" had been presented, which explains several trends in ...
Interindividual interactions of Molina’s hog-nosed skunksConepatus chinga in the Pampas grassland of Argentina
(Springer Heidelberg, 2009-03)
During one year, we radiotracked two female and two male Molina’s hog-nosed skunksConepatus chinga (Molina, 1782), a little studied mephitid, in the Pampas of central Argentina, to analyze the static and dynamic interactions ...
Denning ecology of Conepatus chinga (Carnivora: Mephitidae) in a grassland relict of central Argentina
(Sociedad Argentina para el Estudio de los Mamíferos, 2013-10)
In order to investigate the factors affecting den site selection in Conepatus chinga, we identified and characterized 199 (males: n = 108, females: n = 91) dens used by 7 radio-tracked skunks from August 2002 to October ...
