Conservation and ecological implications of the use of space by chilla foxes and free-ranging dogs in a human-dominated landscape in southern Chile (2010, methodology): “Recording the presence of scats within systematically placed stations to explore habitat use has proven to be a reliable technique (Weckerly & Ricca 2000) by reducing the problems of differences in probability of detection among habitats (Virgos et al. 2002).”
Habitat use by Oncifelis guigna and Pseudalopex culpaeus in a fragmented forest landscape in central Chile (2004, background): “Our results strongly suggest that O. guigna prefers large tracks of native forests, then forest fragments and, lastly, pine plantations, as depicted for other carnivores like badgers, martens and wildcats (Virgós et al. 2002).”
Influence of landscape characteristics on carnivore diversity and abundance in Mediterranean farmland (2009, background): “This probably justifies why the species was not recorded in this and other studies carried out in lowland farmland landscapes of the southern Iberian Peninsula (Matos et al., 2009), where adequate habitat conditions may rarely be met.”
The response of tree squirrels to fragmentation: a review and synthesis (2005, background): “How can higher densities of squirrels be maintained in isolated woodlots? Many mammalian predators are negatively impacted by fragmentation and use small fragments less frequently than large fragments ( Virgos, Telleria & Santos, 2002 ).”
