Abstract

ABSTRACT The American mink (Neovison vison) has been introduced for fur farming into several countries around the world. In southern South America, although invasive populations have established in Argentina and Chile, no feral minks have been recorded in the Pampas Biome to date. We report a potentially new biological invasion in Uruguay, presenting observations, pictures and a museum specimen of feral minks in the locality Melilla, Montevideo Department, which probably escaped or were released from a local fur farm. We obtained 35 mink records between 2010 and 2020, mostly close to the fur farm, within a 2.5 km radius. Our report provides the northernmost mink records in South America, being the first in the Pampas Biome. American mink is a feared invader in most of the sites where it has been introduced, and therefore these new records are important mainly to plan and apply management interventions.

对潘帕斯生物群的潜在威胁:美洲水貂的引进,乌拉圭的Neovison vison (Schreber, 1777)
摘要美国水貂(Neovison-vison)已被引入世界各地的毛皮养殖。在南美洲南部,尽管阿根廷和智利已经建立了入侵种群,但迄今为止,潘帕斯生物群落中还没有野生水貂的记录。我们报告了乌拉圭可能发生的新的生物入侵,提供了蒙得维的亚省梅利利亚地区野生水貂的观察结果、图片和博物馆标本,这些水貂可能是从当地毛皮养殖场逃脱或放生的。2010年至2020年间,我们获得了35份水貂记录,大部分都在2.5公里半径内的毛皮养殖场附近。我们的报告提供了南美洲最北端的水貂记录,是潘帕斯生物群中的第一个。美国水貂在大多数引入地都是令人担忧的入侵者,因此这些新记录主要对规划和应用管理干预措施很重要。
