“…It has been shown that live-traps and predators sample local or regional mammalian faunas differently (e.g., Jaksic et al, 1999). In our study, Sherman traps did not reveal the presence of some rodent species, such as Euneomys sp., Notiomys edwardsii, and Reithrodon auritus.…”

“…In the desert Andes of Northern Chile (see Figure 1 ), the region between the salar de Atacama and the altiplano is characterized by slope vegetation divided in clear altitudinal belts (prepuna, puna and Andean steppe) up to the Andean summits and by islands of wetland habitat in areas with surface or near-surface waters (Marquet et al, 1998; Jaksic et al, 1999). This region is considered a zone of conservation priority (Cavieres et al, 2002), due to the high level of endemism of its flora [34–56% (Squeo et al, 1998)].…”

“…Asimismo, Ferreyra (1953) reportó que las precipitaciones en las Lomas de Atocongo inclusive superaba a la de las Lomas de Lachay (la única área natural protegida que conserva el ecosistema de Lomas). Durante la colecta científica de E. Zúñiga, no se registró ningun espécimen de M. musculus; inclusive el éxito de captura (44 especímenes en 325 trampas-noche, 13,5%) fue uno de los más altos para ecosistemas áridos de las lomas y desiertos del Pacífico Kunimoto et al, 2002;Luna, 2000), donde por lo general, el éxito es realmente bajo (Jaksic et al, 1999). Estos hechos podrían evidenciar un gran deterioro del hábitat de M. zunigae, que no solo habría afectado a esta especie.…”
