“…The SFFOQ could be an area frequented by them in their wide movements, making their densities naturally low. However, two noteworthy species were found: T. pinchaque and L. pardalis, species with wide habitat ranges as reported for the former by Lizcano & Cavelier (2000) and for the latter by Springer et al (2012). Additionally, for T. pinchaque there is evidence that its movements are a response to human presence in Parque Regional Ucumarí (PRU), an area near SFFOQ where it has been reported frequently (Lizcano & Cavelier 2000).…”

“…The photographs of this species within the SFFOQ obtained during the sampling period were atypical and may indicate a shift of this mammal to the SFFOQ, as a consequence of human presence. Lizcano & Cavelier (2000) support this assertion; they indicate a movement of tapirs from paramo (a high Andean ecosystem) towards lower altitudes, stimulated by the development of farming and livestock grazing areas associated with human settlements. Carbajal-Borges et al (2014) confirmed the influence of anthropic intervention on the activity patterns of Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii).…”

“…There are no permanent records of this species in the SFFOQ before 2009; records in our study persisted until 2011. Lizcano & Cavelier (2000) and Lizcano et al (2002) reported this species at altitudes of 2,000 m and higher, with activity patterns diurnal and nocturnal, but mostly nocturnal when exposed to human presence (Lizcano et al 2006). In our study, T. pinchaque was observed mostly late at night and was significantly crepuscular and nocturnal.…”

“…Currently, the Otún Quimbaya Flora and Fauna Sanctuary (SFFOQ) has research (Arredondo 2008) and monitoring (Ramírez et al 2008) programs as part of its management activities. This endeavour requires a comprehensive identification of mammal species and their activity patterns; however, there are no updated and extensive inventories or monitoring programs, other than a checklist of Colombian mammals (Alberico et al 2000), presence reports of some species for the Colombian Central Andes region (Sánchez et al 2004), as well as for the Otún river basin (Lizcano & Cavelier 2000, Lizcano et al 2002, Lizcano et al 2006, and former studies not monitoring based (Morales-Jiménez, 2002, Guerrero et al 2004. As a result, the information available for SFFOQ about diversity of mammals and their activity patterns is scarce.…”

Between the second semester of 2009 and the first semester of 2011, camera traps were set up in conserved and disturbed habitats in the Otún Quimbaya Flora and Fauna Sanctuary. From a sampling effort of 2,066 camera-days, 673 photographs of 157 independent events were obtained for eight species of wild mammals and a domestic one. Their activity patterns were mainly nocturnal even for those species reported as diurnal. The impact of human interference and exotic species was evident for two species: Tapirus pinchaque and Cerdocyon thous. The former was observed below its altitudinal range with activity patterns mainly crepuscular and nocturnal. The second was observed in the same habitats where domestic dogs were found, with activity patterns mainly crepuscular and nocturnal. These findings suggest that both species have altered their activity patterns. Actions must be focused on decreasing the interaction of these mammals with humans and domestic dogs.

La danta de montaña (Tapirus pinchaque) se distribuye en los bosques montanos altos y páramos de Los Andes de Colombia, Ecuador y norte de Perú. Diversos estudios han descrito la vocalización de tres de las cuatro especies de tapires en diferentes contextos. Sin embargo, para T. pinchaque no se ha obtenido información. Reportamos la primera descripción de la vocalización de la especie la cual fue obtenida en el Parque Regional Natural Ucumarí, empleando cámaras trampa configuradas en modo video con duración de 15 s y con intervalos entre tomas de 3 s, instaladas entre agosto y octubre de 2023. En la estación del sector “la Cascada Frailes” se registró una hembra vocalizando tres veces, seguida posteriormente por un macho. Esta sería la segunda descripción de vocalizaciones de tapires in situ y la primera para T. pinchaque, la cual se considera como una llamada de cortejo denominada “pair bonding” realizada por la hembra compuesta por una sola nota pulsada. Esto es importante para conocer las interacciones entre los individuos de esta especie, el contexto ecológico de estos llamados y las dinámicas poblacionales para orientar las medidas de manejo y conservación de T. pinchaque en el territorio.

We studied the daily activity pattern and habitat use of the lowland tapir Tapirus terrestris and their relationship with environmental and anthropic variables. We used photographic records of tapirs obtained during five camera-trap surveys conducted in three areas of the Atlantic Forest of Argentina that differ in their protection against poaching. The daily activity pattern was analyzed with circular statistics and linear regression. The effect of protection against poaching and environmental variables on habitat use of tapirs was analyzed using occupancy modeling. Tapirs were nocturnal all year round, with 89% of the records between 1800 h and 0700 h. The proportion of nocturnal records and the recording rate did not change with mean daily temperature. The daily activity pattern of tapirs was not affected by the sex of the individuals, the lunar cycle or the protection level of the area. The probability of detecting tapirs increased with the distance to the nearest access points for poachers and decreased with the abundance of bamboo in the understory and increasing trail width. The probability of use of an area by tapirs increased with increasing protection against poaching and distance to the nearest access points for poachers. These results suggest that poaching is one of the factors with significant effect on habitat use by tapirs but not on their daily activity patterns.
