Composición botánica de la dieta del guanaco (Lama guanicoe) en dos ambientes contrastantes de Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
A analysis of faeces Ivas perf ormed to determine the hotanical composition of the diet of guanaco (Lama guanicoe) in the steppe and the forest-steppe ecotone of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, throughout a year.
