Persistence of Dromiciops gliroides in landscapes dominated by Pinus radiata plantations

Abstract Background Monitos del monte (Dromiciops gliroides) are old-growth forest specialists and, thus, believed to be very sensitive to habitat transformation, although some recent studies show some level of plasticity of their habitat selection patterns. Findings In this note we report on re...
