Abstract:

We studied the associations between small mammal assemblages and patterns of land use and landscape structure, and their seasonal variations in temperate agroecosystems. We collected barn owl, Tyto alba, pellets from nest sites located in the Pampean region included in Buenos Aires province (36 sites in winter and 29 in summer). We used Google Earth and SAC-C imagery classification to describe land use and landscape structure around pellet collection sites. In winter, we found a significant relation between the relative abundances of small mammal species and landscape variables. Landscape accounted for 33.2 % of variance in species data. Calomys spp. were relatively more abundant in sites with higher winter crops cover, while Akodon azarae and Oligoryzomys flavescens increased their relative abundances in sites with more grassland cover. The commensal rodents Mus musculus and Rattus spp. were relatively more abundant in sites with higher urban cover, or near households and grain storage facilities. We found no significant small mammal-landscape association in summer. Our results are in agreement with previous studies showing that land use patterns may influence small mammal assemblages. Moreover, our results also show that seasonality plays a major role modulating the intensity of these small mammallandscape associations in temperate agroecosystems. © 2012 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
