Predation by Rattus norvegicus on a native small mammal in an Araucaria araucana forest of Neuquén, Argentina

Few previous studies document Rattus predation as a mechanism of impact on native small mammals. In a mixed Araucaria araucana (Molina) Koch -Nothofagus forest in Parque Nacional Lanín in southwestern Neuquén Province, Argentina, we discovered the remains of long-clawed mice, Chelemys macronyx Thoma...
