Article Synopsis
  • The Somuncurá Plateau is a Protected Natural Area in northern Patagonia, home to over 20 small mammal species, showcasing high species richness.
  • A study focused on analyzing parasite remains from coprolites (fossilized poop) of micromammals found at a site on the plateau, examining samples from different historical time periods.
  • Two nematode species were identified for the first time in ancient samples, with findings providing insight into the relationship between mountain cavies and parasites during the Middle Holocene era.
