Todos los especímenes paraguayos de la comadrejita ágil chaqueña han sido capturados en el suelo, a pesar de los esfuerzos simultáneos de captura en los árboles. Dos individuos de C. chacoensis fueron descubiertos en dos ocasiones separadas descansando sobre una gran masa de hojas dentro de dos viejos nidos de C. chrysopterus que habían caído sobre un árbol. El primer nido estaba a 101,6 cm del suelo, mientras que el segundo a 246 cm. Se descubrió un tercer nido caído de C. chrysopterus en un árbol, a 109,7 cm del suelo, que contenía una masa de hojas y estaba aproximadamente a 1.550 m del primer nido y a 132 m del segundo nido. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la comadrejita ágil chaqueña puede utilizar de forma oportunista nidos de pájaros como dormidero.

During any pandemic, it has long been known that local jurisdictions would need to be self-sufficient with little or no outside assistance, particularly from the federal government. While all eyes have been on California, New York, and Massachusetts, the capacities of health systems in other states have yet to be put to the test. If there are subsequent waves of COVID-19 and other jurisdictions see significant increases in disease spread, the systems used to respond will become critical.Using a review and synthesis approach, this article explores our collective experience and knowledge as it pertains to use of alternate care sites for dealing with the patient surge created by a disease outbreak. Probing the concept of alternate care site (ACS) systems reveals various types of alternate care sites that may be employed during an outbreak. The historical value of ACS models used during outbreak response are discussed. This culminates in the development of a notional response model and list of actions that should be taken by all jurisdictions as we prepare for additional waves of disease.
