Rodents have a high impact on human activities, producing economical losses and diseases. One of these diseases is Hantavirus syndrome, whose reservoir is Oligoryzomys longicaudatus. Raptors are the natural biological controllers of rodents, being, therefore, our efficient and effective allies. D...
The aim of this study was to understand the level of knowledge and the perceptions of a local population with a high indigenous component (38.5%) towards birds of prey in order to address wildlife conservation strategies. We determined knowledge of birds of prey and biological control of rodent p...

Knowledge and perceptions of birds of prey among local inhabitants in Chile: implications for the biological control of rodent pests
In Chile, three Hantavirus seropositive rodent species (O longicaudatus, A olivaceus and A longipilis) are distributed from the Pacific coast to the Andes mountains and represent nearly 90% of the rodents captured in the Xth Region. Aim: To study the seroprevalence of Hantavirus among captured ro...
Chilean Mediterranean ecosystems, the only of this type present in South America of the four present in the world, are considered priority areas for conservation due to their high concentration of endemic species that have experienced accelerated rates of habitat destruction. They contain more th...
Los ecosistemas mediterráneos de Chile, los únicos en Sudamérica de los cuatro presentes en el mundo, son considerados áreas prioritarias para la conservación, por su alta concentración de especies endémicas y las aceleradas tasas de destrucción del hábitat. Éstos contienen más del 39% de las esp...
