Resumen
El consumo de cactáceas por vertebrados es bien conocido, aunque mayormente en platyopuntias del Hemisferio Norte. El objetivo de este trabajo es reportar el consumo de Tephrocactus articulatus por el pecarí quimilero (Parachoerus wagneri) en el Parque Nacional Traslasierra, provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. El 14 de enero de 2022 se observó un individuo de P. wagneri consumiendo partes de T. articulatus. Dicho registro podría estar relacionado a la incorporación de agua, ya que T. articulatus presenta un contenido hídrico del 80%, y el registro se realizó durante un período de temperaturas y sequías extremas. El consumo de T. articulatus por P. wagneri podría facilitar la dispersión de la cactácea a largas distancias. Debido al reciente descubrimiento de P. wagneri en la provincia de Córdoba y su estado crítico de conservación, resulta urgente comprender su dieta y su rol en el ecosistema, en pos de aplicar planes de manejo y conservación de la especie y sus ambientes.
The consumption of cacti by vertebrates is well known, although mostly in platyopuntias of the Northern Hemisphere. The objective of this work is to report the consumption of Tephrocactus articulatus by the Chacoan peccary (Parachoerus wagneri) in the Traslasierra National Park. On January 14, 2022, we observed an individual of P. wagneri consuming parts of T. articulatus. This report could be related to the incorporation of water, since T. articulatus has a water content of 80%, and it was observed during a period of extreme temperatures and droughts. The consumption of T. articulatus by P. wagneri could facilitate the dispersal of the cactus over long distances. Due to the recent discovery of P. wagneri in the province of Córdoba and its critical state of conservation, it is urgent to understand its diet and role in the ecosystem, in order to apply management and conservation plans for the species and its environments.
