Resumen:
We analyzed the relation between rodent communities composition and diversity and the landscape
structure in the city of Buenos Aires. Between October 2002 and December 2005 rodent samplings were
conducted in a natural reserve, three parklands, three shantytowns and two industrialresidential neighborhoods.
Landscape structure at each sitewas characterized by the proportion of the surface occupied by
different land-cover types, and the proportion covered by buildings.We caught 413 rodents of the following
species: the native Oligoryzomys flavescens, Deltamys kempi, Calomys musculinus and Cavia aperea; and
the introduced Rattus norvegicus, R. rattus and Mus musculus. Native species were dominant in the natural
reserve but were also present in parklands. R. rattus, R. norvegicus and/or M. musculus were the dominant
species in parklands, shantytowns or industrialresidential neighborhoods. Differences in landscape
structure contributed to explain differences in community composition. Diversity, richness and representation
of native species decreased with increasing urbanization. Our findings may be useful for planning
decisions for either conservation or pest control goals, based on the rodent community composition
inferred from the landscape structure.
