Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
Even though less than 500 Patagonian huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) remain in Argentina, information on their population ecology and dynamics is severely lacking. For the first time in Argentine history, radio-telemetry collars were placed on a group of huemul to better understand the factors behind the population?s failure to recover. Six adult huemul (3 of each gender) were captured in six days, the winter of 2017, inside Shoonem Protected Park, Chubut province. In this article, we present a description of the unique climatic conditions and characteristics of the environment that would be useful to consider in order improving the success of huemul captures, particularly in Argentina. Despite the outwardly healthy appearance of each radio-collared huemul on the last observation date (January 25, 2018), we identified clinical symptoms of disease in 5 of these 6 animals during their capture; these included lameness, affected hoof, exfoliation of 2-7 incisors, and muscular atrophy. Movement distances from the winter capture site to maximum summer distance recorded were 187% greater for females than males (n=6, p =0.05, Mann Whitney).
