Resumen
During one year, we radiotracked two female and two male Molina’s hog-nosed skunksConepatus chinga (Molina, 1782), a little studied mephitid, in the Pampas of central Argentina, to analyze the static and dynamic interactions between individuals. Mean home range overlap was large (44.5%), but males shared a smaller proportion of their home ranges than females. The average percentage of localizations in the overlap area (39.3%) indicates that these areas were not marginal sections of individual home ranges, but this value was greater for individuals of different genders than intrasexual dyads. The Coefficient of Spatial Association confirmed that the distances between individuals of different sexes were smaller than between animals of the same sex. During simultaneous locations, females were closer than males, but reciprocal distances between individuals varied over the time. These patterns are congruent with those described as typical for mustelids and mephitids. Our results confirm that an analysis of home range overlap should not be considered complete without the study of dynamic interactions among individuals and their temporal variations, which are necessary to overcome the limitations of spatial overlap analysis.
