When Monkeys Were Humans: Narratives of the Relationship between Primates and Tobas (Qom) Peoples of the Gran Chaco of Argentina
En este trabajo analizaremos la relaciĂłn entre los monos y los indĂgenas Qom (tobas) del Gran Chaco argentino. Nuestro objetivo consistirá en preguntarnos: Âżlos monos aulladores en el este de Formosa son lo mismo para los indĂgenas que para los no-indĂgenas? Para dar respuesta a este interrogante nos dedicaremos, en un primer momento, a una relectura de la mitologĂa Qom que vincula a los primates con los humanos. El fin será rastrear el origen de la humanidad, la animalidad y sus convergencias. En un segundo momento analizaremos escenarios actuales de relaciones entre primates humanos y no-humanos con el propĂłsito de comprender dichas tramas en el contexto de la sociocosmologĂa indĂgena. Guiados por el mĂ©todo de la 'equivocaciĂłn controlada' nuestras conclusiones contrastarán maneras de componer mundos donde los monos y los humanos se relacionan.Fil: Medrano, MarĂa Celeste.

Tropical Ungulates of Argentina
Argentina has an extensive and diverse terrain classified into 11 ecoregions. Seven of these ecoregions, occupying the north and north-central parts of the country, house the 11 tropical ungulate species found here. The ecoregions are lowland and subtropical, some beginning in the tropics, some extending to temperate climates. The principal topographical characteristics, hydrology, climate, vegetation and fauna are described for these seven ecoregions. Each of the 11 species is then treated in detail with respect to its ecology and conservation. Emphasis is placed on distribution, habitat and density, feeding ecology, threats and conservation in Argentina, based on the most recent studies. Data on reproductive biology and behaviour are included where information is relatively recent and unlikely to be covered elsewhere. The species include the following: the Brazilian tapir (Tapirus terrestris), found in northern subtropical ecoregions, three species of peccary (Tayassu pecari, Pecari tajacu and Parachoerus wagneri) from northern subtropical and drier regions, of which the Chacoan peccary (P. wagneri) is endemic while the other two species have more extensive distributions. The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) occurs only in relict populations in the ecoregions considered. The taruca (Hippocamelus antisensis) occupies the eastern boundary between the Yungas and drier, high altitude ecoregions. Three species of brocket deer (Mazama americana, M. gouazoubira and M. nana) occupy the northern tropical, subtropical and Chacoan areas. The marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus), the largest South American deer, has small populations occupying wetlands from the northern border to the Parana delta, while the pampas deer (Ozotocerus bezoaticus) is found in four isolated populations from Ibera to Buenos Aires province. Argentina represents the southern limit to the distribution of all these species and thus threats are often magnified. Ongoing conservation activities include the maintenance of protected areas, promotion (difusion, education, sensitization), investigation and the reintroduction of some species of formerly extinct ungulates into the Ibera wetlands area.Fil: Black Decima, Patricia.
