“…Destruction caused by taruka deer and European hares, especially during the dry season, was repeatedly mentioned by the farmers we interviewed. In contrast to taruka deer and guanacos, the ongoing European hare invasion is a threat to both preservation of native Andean biodiversity and economic productivity in Peru, Chile, and Argentina [ 44 , 45 ]. Although huemul deer were ranked above guanacos as a causal factor of crop destruction, it is possible that the recent increase in guanaco numbers makes farmers perceive guanacos to be a greater problem.…”

The Peruvian guanaco (Lama guanicoe cacsilensis) is classified as being “in critical danger of extinction” by the government. In this study, we evaluate how the conflict between farmers and guanacos in the Susapaya and Estique Districts, Tacna Department (Southern Peru) may represent a threat to their survival. To evaluate the situation, we 1. Conducted field surveys to monitor guanaco presence, 2. Used available remote sensing data to map guanaco movement, and 3. interviewed the impacted farmers concerning their losses. Remote sensing data showed that sedentary guanaco family groups located in prime steppe vegetation habitats never entered agricultural areas, while field surveys showed that bachelor bands and solitary individuals did, perhaps seeking forage due to growing population pressure. Interview data found that 90% of community farmers felt that guanacos were a problem best resolved by better fencing (45%), hunting (19%), or increased security (16%), and 92% saw no value in the conservation of the species. Hunting is illegal, given the critically endangered status of guanacos in Peru, so additional efforts are needed to both educate those who feel guanacos are a menace and involve them in efforts to preserve the species.

1.A better understanding of the effects of exotic species is fundamental for ecosystem management, given that biological invasions are major agents of change affecting native biodiversity worldwide. However, exotic species can also have positive effects on native communities, for instance by providing additional food sources. 2. We reviewed dietary studies in the scientific literature published between 1980 and 2016 in order to examine the role of exotic mammals in the diets of 42 terrestrial species of the mammalian order Carnivora from South America. We recorded information about species' characteristics and analysed the ways in which they relate to exotic mammal consumption. 3. We found 62 references in which 11 carnivores from four families were reported to consume exotic mammals. Using only dietary studies in which the frequency of occurrence of each prey item was presented, we compiled 152 cases from 56 papers. 4. The frequency of occurrence of exotic mammals in the diet of South American carnivores reached on average 21%. The more common prey-carnivore interactions occurred with exotic lagomorphs, while exotic ungulates were less frequently consumed and were only preyed upon by pumas Puma concolor. Consumers with mainly carnivorous habits consumed exotic mammals more frequently than frugivorous or omnivorous species. 5. The carnivore species and the location of the study area influenced the frequency of occurrence of exotic mammals in the diets described. Certain carnivores, including the puma, culpeo fox Lycalopex culpaeus, Pampas fox Lycalopex gimnocercus, lesser grison Galictis cuja and Molina's hog-nosed skunk Conepatus chinga, consumed more exotic mammals than average, and the occurrence of exotic mammals was the highest in the diets of carnivores in the southwestern regions of South America. 6. Exotic mammals in South America can create new food web interactions in the native carnivore community and can serve as an important food resource for some native species. This is particularly true in human-transformed landscapes, where native prey populations have declined. Thus, it is important to consider the role of exotic mammals in the conservation of native carnivore populations.

“…Esta especie fue reportada formalmente en el Perú desde el año 2002 para Tacna y Arequipa (Cossios 2004;Lleellish et al, 2007). Posteriormente su distribución fue ampliada para los alrededores del lago Titicaca en Puno y la puna sur de Cusco, tanto para localidades alto andinas por debajo de 4400 m, como para la costa de Tacna (Canales, 2008;Bonino et al, 2010), asimismo la liebre europea en el Perú, al 2011, presenta una amplia distribución en el altiplano y la costa sur, registrándose en ecosistemas abiertos de los departamentos de Arequipa, Cusco, Moquegua, Puno y Tacna) (Zeballos et al, 2012), sin embargo la presencia de la liebre se registró por primera vez en los departamentos de Moquegua y Puno, este último ubicado al este del lago Titicaca y en el límite con Bolivia, en general la distribución de la liebre europea abarca los territorios de Argentina y Chile, el sudeste de Perú, el sudoeste de Bolivia, el sudeste de Paraguay y el centro-sur de Brasil (Bonino et al, 2010).…”

“…La liebre europea es una especie introducida e invasora, que amenaza los ecosistemas y hábitat de zonas cultivables, con efectos económicos de consideración los que oscilan entre el 40% en épocas de lluvia en una campaña de siembra (Zeballos et al, 2012). En la región Puno teniendo mayor frecuencia en la península de Capachica en Perú, esta especie presenta una densidad de 4.3 y 1.5 ind/ha y se han reportado daños en cultivos como la alfalfa en 30% y la cebada 27% (Canales, 2008).…”

Resumen La investigación realizamos en las comunidades: Churo, Karina y Luquina Chico, ubicada en la península de Chucuito-Puno, Perú, entre diciembre 2010 y mayo 2011. Los objetivos fueron: 1) Evaluación del tamaño poblacional de Lepus europaeus (liebre europea), 2) Verificación de daños ocasionados en la producción agrícola en tres comunidades, 3) Determinación del método de captura adecuada para disminuir y controlar las poblaciones de liebre europea. Aplicamos el método de transectos lineales, utilizada para determinar el tamaño poblacional y el método de observación indirecta de huellas, a través de estaciones olfativas, con registro de huellas. Colocamos 160 estacas para trampas Lazo en total para las comunidades en estudio, alrededor de las cuales colocamos 100 estaciones olfativas; asimismo realizamos Chacu de liebres (captura con participación de varias personas). Finalmente, cuantificamos el porcentaje de pérdidas económicas a través de observaciones in situ en 10 parcelas/comunidad. Con base en el área consumida por liebre del total del área/parcela, aplicamos porcentaje de daño y realizamos entrevistas. En base al método de trampas Lazo y Chacu, comparamos el método adecuado de captura. Los resultados fueron: poblacional estimada de 1.2 ind/ha en Churo, 1.1 ind/ha en Karina y 2.4 ind/ha en Luquina Chico, mientras que la abundancia obtenida en las estaciones olfativas en 5 cultivos diferentes fue: 11.7 individuos en Luquina Chico, 10.8 individuos en Churo y 9.3 individuos en Karina. En el análisis de pérdidas económicas, se obtuvo que: a mayor daño económico existe mayor costo (r=0.67) entre 2 variables evaluadas en Churo (r= 0.64) en Karina y (r = 0.49) en Luquina Chico. Finalmente demostramos que no hay diferencia entre los métodos de captura trampas Lazo y Chacu (Hcalc(0.05)=1.19; 1 gl; p=0.2000).
