Of Hunting and Herding: Isotopic evidence in wild and domesticated camelids from the Southern Argentine Puna (2120–420 years BP)
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
Using stable isotope analysis, this paper studies the interaction between Prehispanic camelid herding and hunting practices in agropastoralist societies of the Antofagasta de la Sierra Basin (Southern Argentinean Puna) ...
Utility of genetic variation in coat color genes to distinguish wild, domestic and hybrid South American camelids for forensic and judicial applications
(Elsevier, 2020)
A molecular genetic protocol for distinguishing pure and hybrid South American camelids was developed to provide strong, quantifiable, and unbiased species identification. We detail the application of the approach in the ...
Camelids in ancient Andean societies : a review of the zooarchaeological evidence
(2008)
South American Camelids (SAC) have occupied a central role in the development of Andean societies, both for ancient huntergatherers and for more recent pastoralists and farmers. In prehispanic times they were widely ...
Were domestic camelids present on the prehispanic South American agricultural frontier? An ancient DNA study
(Public Library of Science, 2020-11-05)
The southern boundary of prehispanic farming in South America occurs in central Mendoza Province, Argentina at approximately 34 degrees south latitude. Archaeological evidence of farming includes the recovery of macrobotanical ...
Measuring faecal glucocorticoid metabolites as a non-invasive tool for monitoring adrenocortical activity in South American camelids
(Universities Federation for Animal Welfare, 2013)
The welfare and productivity of South American camelids may be affected by stressful events. The purpose of this study was to validate a non-invasive Method: for stress monitoring using faecal samples and to apply it to ...
Can first phalanx multivariate morphometrics help document past taxonomic diversity in South American camelids?
(Elsevier, 2022-11-21)
South American Camelids (SAC) were of great economic and cultural importance for pre-Hispanic societies in the Andes and still are important for rural Andean communities. However, understanding their specific role and ...
Genotypic characterization of chilean llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (vicugna pacos) pestivirus isolates
(2014)
Llamas and alpacas are domesticated South American camelids (SACs) important to ancestral population in the Altiplano region, and to different communities worldwide where they have been introduced. These ungulates have ...
Ancient DNA reveals the lost domestication history of South American camelids in Northern Chile and across the Andes
(Elife Sciences, 2021)
The study of South American camelids and their domestication is a highly debated
topic in zooarchaeology. Identifying the domestic species (alpaca and llama) in archaeological sites
based solely on morphological data is ...
Low habitat overlap at landscape scale between wild camelids and feral donkeys in the Chilean desert
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)
Feral domestic ungulates may compete with the populations of wild herbivores with which they coexist, particularly so in arid regions. The potential competition between wild camelids and feral donkeys at the eastern sector ...
