Abstract

Abstract Very little is known on Ctenomys pilarensis, as it has rarely been studied. We conducted a preliminary study on its burrow use by implementing a capture-mark-recapture method. Between February and June 2022, 12 different Pilar tuco-tucos were captured and chipped using MiniHPT8 PIT tags, 7 individuals were recaptured at least once. Our results indicate this species to be solitary, as we found no evidence of burrow sharing. These findings should, however, be viewed with caution due to our small sample size.

巴拉圭Ñeembucú对未充分研究的毛羽棘球绦虫穴居利用的初步研究

摘要:人们对毛羽棘球绦虫知之甚少，也很少对其进行研究。我们采用捕获-标记-再捕获的方法对其洞穴利用进行了初步研究。在2022年2月至6月期间，捕获了12只不同的皮拉尔tuco-tuco -tuco，并使用MiniHPT8 PIT标签植入芯片，其中7只至少被重新捕获一次。我们的研究结果表明，这个物种是独居的，因为我们没有发现洞穴共享的证据。然而，由于我们的样本量小，这些发现应该谨慎看待。
