Diet of the marsh deer in the Parana River Delta, Argentina: a vulnerable species in an intensive forestry landscape
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2020-01)
The marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) is the largest deer native to South America, occurring in wetlands and marshy habitats. The southernmost population of the species is found in the Paraná River Delta, Argentina, in ...
Patterns of Resource Use and Isotopic Niche Overlap Among Guanaco (Lama guanicoe), Pampas Deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) and Marsh Deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) in the Pampas. Ecological, Paleoenvironmental and Archaeological Implications
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-02)
In this paper, we analyze the isotopic niche and resource use of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe), pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) and marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) on the temperate plain of the northern Pampa region ...
A participatory surveillance of marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) morbidity and mortality in Argentina: First results
(BioMed Central, 2020-09)
Background: In an era of unprecedented socio-ecological changes, managing wildlife health demands high-quality data collection and the engagement of local communities. Blastocerus dichotomus, the largest South American ...
Evidence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Argentina through molecular detection in marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus)
(Australian Society for Parasitology, 2018-12)
Vector-borne pathogens are responsible for serious emerging diseases and have been widely described in wildlife. Ehrlichia chaffeensis causes the zoonotic ?monocytic ehrlichiosis? in humans, is transmitted by the tick ...

Conservation of the largest cervid of South America: interactions between people and the Vulnerable marsh deer Blastocerus dichotomus
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-07)
Wild ungulates, and particularly deer, can cause severe damage to commercial plantations, resulting in reduced tolerance of their presence by forestry producers. The marsh deer Blastocerus dichotomus, categorized as ...
Evidence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Argentina through molecular detection in marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus)
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
Vector-borne pathogens are responsible for serious emerging diseases and have been widely described in wildlife. Ehrlichia chaffeensis causes the zoonotic “monocytic ehrlichiosis” in humans, is transmitted by the tick ...
Introducing the "Pantano Project" to conserve the southernmost population of the marsh deer
(Instituto de Conservación Neotropical. Deer Specialist Group, 2018-03)
El ciervo de los pantanos (Blastocerus dichotomus) es el cérvido nativo más grande de América del Sur y está clasificado como Vulnerable en la Lista Roja de la UICN. La población más austral de este cérvido se encuentra ...
Effects of cattle on habitat use and diel activity of large native herbivores in a South American rangeland
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020-12)
Cattle grazing usually has negative effects on wildlife. We studied the effects of cattle on the patterns of habitat use and diel activity of three neotropical herbivores, capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), gray brocket ...
An Ecomorphological Approach to Craniomandibular Integration in Neotropical Deer
(Springer, 2021-03)
South American cervids have a relatively recent evolutionary history in the Neotropics. Present taxonomical richness includes six genera and 17 species grouped in at least two clades, Blastocerina and Odocoileina. With few ...
