Resumen:
The Patagonian culpeo fox (Dusicyon culpaeus) feeds in part on the cricetine rodent community. A previous diet study based on scats revealed that these foxes show a marked preference for 3 Akodon species (Akodon longipilis, Akodon xanthorrinus and Akodon iniscatus), in contrast with the notably more abundant sympatric mouse, Eligmodontia typus.
