Phylogeography of the capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, in a large portion of its distribution area in South America
(Springer, 2022-03)
The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, is a semiaquatic herbivorous rodent widely distributed in South American wetlands. Some authors have proposed the existence of two species, several subspecies, and different ...
Capybara social structure and dispersal patterns: Variations on a theme
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2011-02)
Capybaras, (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are large, herbivorous New World hystricomorphs, common in the seasonally flooded savannas of tropical and subtropical South America. In this paper we review the social structure and ...
A new Trichuris species (Nematoda: Trichuridae) from capybaras: Morphological-molecular characterization and phylogenetic relationships
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
A new species of Trichuris (Nematoda: Trichuridae) is described from the capybara, Hydrochoeris hydrochaeris (Rodentia: Caviidae), from two localities of Corrientes Province, based on morphological characteristics and ITS1 ...
Biochemical and physiological parameters associated with Trypanosoma evansi prevalence in wild capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2017-12)
Parasites can be detrimental to the health of wildlife populations and may negatively affect several aspects of the life history of their hosts. Investigating host health, therefore, is key to understanding important ...
A habitat suitability model for capybara (hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) at its core area in Argentina
(Mongaby.com e-journal, 2015)
Influence of group sizes and food resources in home-range sizes of capybaras from Argentina
(Oxford University Press, 2013-02)
Within a species, home-range size can vary due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In this study we test the hypotheses that social group sizes (intrinsic) of capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) and food availability in ...
Forage quality of plant species consumed by capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in the Paraná River Delta, Argentina
(Society for Range Management, 2011-05)
The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is a selective herbivore that may show a preference for certain plant species. Such a preference is likely to be explained by the nutritional benefits hypothesis, stating that the ...
Determinants of capybara presence in afforestations of the lower delta of the Paraná river, Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
The delta of the Paraná River in Argentina represents the southernmost stronghold for capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), but this area is highly modified due to commercial afforestations with Salicaceae. Water management ...
Methodology for the estimation of the age categories of Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Rodentia, Hydrochoeridae) through the cranial and femur morphometry
(De Gruyter, 2017-01)
The aim of this study is to propose a methodology to estimate the age of individuals of capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) using some morphometric measurements of the skull and femur. A sample of 250 individuals from ...
