| Summary: | Cuniculustaczanowskii is a typical species of the Andean region threatened by factors such as landscape fragmentation and hunting. In this work the niche breadth, the dietary preferences, the relationship between the frequency of the dietary items in fresh feces and the abundance of collected plant species at an Andean cloud forest was studied. 16 dietary items were identified as plants used as food source. Asplenium sp., Thibaudiafloribunda and Phytolacca sp. where the most consumed plant species. The niche breadth of the species was low and the relationship found between the abundance of the collected plant species and the frequency of the epidermal fragments was not significant. The species discriminates between the phenological stage of the food resources showing a tendency to be selective. |
