Resumen
El presente estudio propuso estimar la población canina callejera de Río Cuarto y establecer relaciones con factores ambientales que expliquen la distribución de los individuos. Se realizó un muestreo zonificando la ciudad y, a través de transectas, se contabilizaron los perros en situación de calle y se registraron variables referidas a características de los individuos y del ambiente. Se estimó la abundancia poblacional y los datos obtenidos fueron comparados entre sector y sexo a través de ANOVA y test de Tukey. Para establecer la relación entre la abundancia y las características ambientales, se aplicaron análisis de agrupamientos y modelos lineales generalizados. La población estimada fue de 5.558 perros y las diferencias de dicha abundancia entre sectores y sexos fueron significativas estadísticamente. Además, los resultados sugieren que no existe una dinámica poblacional propia, y que las variables ambientales tendrían importancia en la distribución de los individuos, por lo que alterar el acceso a determinados recursos podría impactar en la población
The present study was performed to estimate the canine population of Rio Cuarto city, and to establish possible relationships with environmental factors that may explain the distribution of individuals. Sampling was performed by dividing the city in different areas and, using transects, dogs were counted. Variables related to characteristics of individuals and the environment were recorded as well. Population was estimated and data were compared between geographic area and sex through ANOVA and Tukey’s test. To establish the relationship between abundance and environmental characteristics, cluster analyzes and generalized linear models were used. The estimated population was 5,558 dogs, differences in population between sectors and sex were statistically significant. The results suggest that there is no specific population dynamics, and that environmental variables would be important in the distribution of individuals, so modifications in the access of animals to certain resources could impact in the population.
