New record of the culpeo Lycalopex culpaeus (Mammalia: Canidae) in southwestern Colombia with remarks on its distribution in the country
Open accessAbstract
We present a new record of the culpeo (Lycalopex culpaeus) from southwestern Colombia, and discuss the previous records and localities of the species in the country. The species is known from three confirmed localities; two of them are represented by voucher specimens and the third is presented here based on a photography obtained on 2011. All confirmed localities are located in the Nudo de Los Pastos, Department of Nariño, southwestern Colombia. Other localities and records of the species in literature are in need of more evidence that corroborate the presence of the species in these areas, while the records from the Central Cordillera in the Departments of Valle del Cauca, Tolima, and from the Western Cordillera in the Department of Cauca are considered erroneous.

In Colombia, the most septentrional records of the Andean fox come from the southwestern Andes.

Knowledge of the Andean fox in Colombia is limited to distribution analyses and anecdotal observation on sheep predation.
“however, knowledge is limited to distribution analyses (Ramirez-Chaves et al. 2013;Noguera-Urbano et al. 2016), and anecdotal observation on sheep predation (Hershkovitz 1957).”

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.
