Using foraging behavior to detect edge effects: A case study with colombian andean mammals

Comparamos el uso de parches artificiales (técnica de densidades de abandono DDA) por pequeños mamíferos granívoros en el interior del bosque y el borde bosque-pastizal, estrato (suelo y sotobosque), en diferentes niveles de iluminación de la luna, en un pequeño fragmento de bosque de roble en los A...

description Comparamos el uso de parches artificiales (técnica de densidades de abandono DDA) por pequeños mamíferos granívoros en el interior del bosque y el borde bosque-pastizal, estrato (suelo y sotobosque), en diferentes niveles de iluminación de la luna, en un pequeño fragmento de bosque de roble en los Andes colombianos. Los costos de forrajeo para los pequeños mamíferos fueron mayores cerca al borde que en el interior en el suelo, pero no en el sotobosque. Los pequeños mamíferos prefirieron forrajear en el suelo que en el sotobosque. La iluminación de la luna no tuvo efecto. Nuestros resultados indican que la destrucción del bosque y su asociado efecto de borde, reduce el área disponible para los pequeños mamíferos, consecuentemente puede afectar las interacciones bióticas y la dinámica de los remanentes de bosques andinos, y sus efectos son modulados por la heterogeneidad vertical del bosque. Por lo tanto, el uso de indicadores comportamentales como el uso de parches alimentarios, medidos con la técnica de DDA, es un método efectivo para medir las respuestas de los mamíferos granívoros andinos ante las alteraciones humanas.

Foraging costs for small mammals were higher near the edge than in the interior on the ground, but not at the understory. Small mammals preferred foraging on the ground than at the understory. Moon illumination had no effect. Our results indicate that forest destruction and its associated edge effect may reduce the area available for small mammals, consequently may affect the biotic interactions and the dynamics of Andean forest remnants, and this effect is modulated by the forest's vertical heterogeneity. Therefore, the use of behavioral indicators such as the food patch use, measured with the GUD technique, is an effective method to measure responses of Andean small granivorous mammals to human alterations.Boletín Científico2013-07-01T00:00:00Z2025-10-08T21:03:29Z2013-07-01T00:00:00Z2025-10-08T21:03:29Z2013-07-01Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Textinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleJournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1application/pdf0123-3068https://repositorio.ucaldas.edu.co/handle/ucaldas/230382462-8190https://revistasojs.ucaldas.edu.co/index.php/boletincientifico/article/view/4491https://revistasojs.ucaldas.edu.co/index.php/boletincientifico/article/view/4491eng120211017Boletín Científico Centro de Museos Museo de Historia NaturalABRANCHES, J., VALENTE, P., NÓBREGA, H.N., FERNÁNDEZ, F.A.S., MENDOÇA-HAGLER, L.C. & HAGLER, A.N., 1998.
