Ecology of small mammals in the Semiarid Brazilian Caatinga I. In this denuded landscape, the sole survivor engages in a daily survival routine, foraging for food among cacti, sage and prickly stunted trees known as caatinga. Group 2 includes specimens from all non-Andean populations, whose origins comprise three biogeographic regions: Chaco (Bolivian and Paraguayan Boreal Chaco, and Austral Chaco of Argentina), Pampeana (Uruguay), and Caatinga (Brazil) (Figure 2A, B, C; Figure 3). |
