Abstract

We present a total of 190 new distribution records of three little-known mammalian carnivores (Conepatus chinga, Galictis cuja, and Lycalopex culpaeus) obtained using camera trap techniques and direct observation in the highlands of Jujuy province, northwestern Argentina. These new records extend the present known distributions of these three species to the west of the province and to higher altitudes, and provide additional information on habitat association and activity patterns.

Keywords: Andes; Conepatus chinga; distribution; Galictis cuja; Lycalopex culpaeus

Acknowledgments

We are grateful to all volunteers and local villagers for assistance with data collection. The project was funded by Wildlife Conservation Network, Conservation Leadership Program, Darwin Initiative, and Panthera.

Appendix I

Coordinates, altitude (meters above sea level), type of evidence, and time and date of collection for the new locations of three carnivore species in the highlands of northwestern Argentina. Because of camera malfunctioning, some of the records lacked time or date. In those cases, date is reported as a period (e.g., 1-Aug/15-Aug-01 means that the photograph was taken between August 1 and August 15, 2001) and time was assigned to one of four categories (day, night, sunrise, and sunset) based on ambient light and shadows.
