Food habits of the Andean fox (Pseudalopex culpaeus) and notes on the moutain cat (Felis colocolo) and puma (Felis concolor) in the Río Abiseo National Park, Perú
Abstract
Cette etude presente des donnees sur le regime alimentaire du renard des Andes (Pseudalopex culpaeus), au Parc national du Rio Abiseo, au Perou. Dans 74 excrements analyses, ont ete trouvees 180 proies, principalement des rongeurs (48 %), des baies de Vaccinium (Ericacees, 29 %), des oiseaux (12 %), des grenouilles (6 %) et des insectes (5 %). La plupart des vertebres (80 %) pesaient moins de 55 g. Cette etude et d'autres portant sur le regime alimentaire du renard des Andes en Argentine, au Chili et au Perou, confirment son caractere opportuniste, pouvant passer de presqu'entierement carnivore a tres omnivore. Le renard des Andes differe des autres grands predateurs rencontres au Parc national du Rio Abiseo, par le choix de ses proies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
