ALBANESI, Sebastián A; JAYAT, J. Pablo y BROWN, Alejandro D. Mortalidad de mamíferos y medidas de mitigación en canales de riego del pedemonte de Yungas de la alta cuenca del río Bermejo, Argentina.. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.2, pp.505-514. ISSN 0327-9383.
We compiled information on mortality in medium and large mammals in irrigation canals in the Yungas of Argentina and we evaluated the role of escape ladders in mitigating this mortality. We systematically recorded falls and deaths in the canals, and used camera traps to monitor the use of escape ladders. We documented falls of 19 specimens of five species, and the deaths of eight individuals between 2013 and 2015. Most falls and deaths corresponded to Mazama gouazoubira. Cameras recorded 16 species on the escape ladders (34% of the records corresponding to Tapirus terrestris), which seem to have a positive effect, decreasing the mortality of individuals
