Se estudió la dieta mediante el análisis de heces de siete especies de roedores sigmodontinos, Akodon torques, Calomys sorellus, Microryzomys minutus, Oligoryzomys andinus, Thomasomys aureus, T. kalinowskii y T. oreas, en una región de los bosques montanos del distrito de Anco, provincia La Mar, Ayacucho, Perú. El consumo de artrópodos fue predominante en Akodon torques (87.93%), Calomys sorellus (71.54%), Microryzomys minutus (74.29%) y Oligoryzomys andinus (72.54%). Por otro lado, el consumo de restos vegetales fue predominante en Thomasomys aureus (91.15%); mientras que, T. kalinowskii y T. oreas presentaron restos vegetales (55.33% y 60.03%, respectivamente), conformado principalmente por frutos y artrópodos (38.64% y 33.40% respectivamente). Las diferencias a nivel intraespecífico se encontraron en Microryzomys minutus respecto a la edad, con preferencia hacia el consumo de l...

This work summarizes recent knowledge regarding the diversity and distribution of 11 Orders of mammals from Peru. Species information is presented for the country, ecoregions and, for the first time, by individual departments. Furthermore, we identified endemic species for the country and provided elevation ranges per species. To compile our information, we conducted an exhaustive review of the scientific literature and specimens in scientific collections, consulting with specialists when needed to verify records. We report 191 species belonging to the orders Didelphimorphia (46 spp.), Paucituberculata (2), Sirenia (1), Cingulata (5), Pilosa (8), Primates (42), Lagomorpha (2), Eulipotyphla (3), Carnivora (33), Perissodactyla (2), and Artiodactyla (47, including 32 cetaceans); 22 of these are endemic to Peru. Due to their high diversity and number of taxonomic changes, the Orders Chiropte...
