Resumen
Se da a conocer la conformación de los ensambles de micromamíferos no voladores para cinco secuencias paleontológicas del Holoceno ubicadas en la cuenca del río Chubut. Con la información obtenida se propone una hipótesis ambiental para los últimos miles de años en Patagonia central. Se realizaron 13 dataciones radiocarbónicas con métodos convencionales. Entre las cinco secuencias se contabilizaron 12.644 individuos (MNI). En conjunto, se registraron al menos 18 taxones de micromamíferos. El estudio de los yacimientos nos permitió inferir que desde los 5,5 ka hasta los 4,0 ka se encontraban en la región ambientes de estepa patagónica. A partir de los 4,0 ka, especialmente en el valle inferior del río Chubut, empieza a notarse la influencia del Monte, alternando condiciones frías y húmedas con más cálidas y secas como las actuales. Los micromamíferos sugieren la existencia de dos tendencias principales durante los últimos 5,0 ka. Para buena parte del segmento temporal, se mantiene la estructura taxonómica (cuantitativa y cualitativa) con cambios sutiles en las abundancias de algunas especies. Hacia los últimos 0,15 ka se hace evidente una modificación más profunda de los ensambles, signada tanto por desapariciones locales como por incrementos o decrementos marcados de algunas especies. Las evidencias disponibles indican a las actividades antrópicas como las principales responsables de estos cambios.
We present the structure of the non-volant small mammal assemblages for five paleontological sequences from the Holocene located in the Chubut river basin. With the obtained information, an environmental hypothesis is proposed for the last thousands of years in central Patagonia. Thirteen radiocarbon dates were made with conventional methods. Among the five sequences, 12.644 individuals (MNI) were counted. Altogether, at least 18 small mammal taxa were recorded. The study of the deposits allowed us to infer that from 5.5 ka to 4.0 ka the region was covered by Patagonian steppe environments. Starting at 4.0 ka, especially in the lower valley of the Chubut river, the influence of the Monte environments begins to be noticed, alternating cold and humid conditions with warmer and drier conditions like the current ones. The small mammals suggest the existence of two main trends during the last 5.0 ka. For most of the temporal segment, we documented maintenance of the taxonomic structure (quantitative and qualitative) with subtle changes in the abundances of some species. Towards the last 0.15 ka, a deeper modification of the assemblages becomes evident, marked both by local disappearances and by marked increases or decreases of some species. The available evidence identifies anthropic activities as the main responsible for these changes.
