    Beware of the stripes: Encounter between Lycalopex griseus and Conepatus chinga in their natural environment in central Chile
    (2024) Melanie Kaiser; Diego Ramírez-Álvarez
    We document an occasional encounter between carnivore species Lycalopex griseus and Conepatus chinga, using camera traps in native Mediterranean forest of the Coast Range in central Chile. Photographic evidence is provided as to the agonistic behavior exhibited by C. chinga and the reaction of L. griseus to this interaction. In view of incomplete niche segregation and the spatiotemporal overlap in the habitat use for both species, our observations contribute to a better understanding of the interactions and ecological dynamics of the carnivore community of this ecosystem.
