Los Xenarthra (Mammalia) del Ensenadense (Pleistoceno inferior a medio) de la Región Pampeana (Argentina)

Abstract

Los Xenarthra (Mammalia) constituyen un grupo monofilético, caracterizado por una arquitectura esqueletaria particularmente distinta a la de los demás mamíferos placentarios. Su distribución actual es casi exclusivamente Neotropical; sin embargo, el registro fósil indica una distribución más amplia en el continente americano. En este trabajo se proporciona un listado actualizado de los Xenarthra registrados para el Pleistoceno inferior a medio (Piso Ensenadense) en la región pampeana (Argentina). Por otra parte, se describen brevemente las características anatómicas más conspicuas que permitieron la identificación taxonómica de los restos fósiles, en especial de aquéllos de interés bioestratigráfico. Asimismo se figuran los Cingulata presentes en el Ensenadense. Se estudiaron más de 700 ejemplares alojados en su gran mayoría en colecciones paleontológicas de la Argentina. El estudio de estos ejemplares permitió comprobar que durante el Pleistoceno existieron marcadas variaciones en la composición y distribución de la fauna pampeana en general y de los xenartros en particular, hecho íntimamente relacionado al intercambio biótico americano y a las variaciones climáticas producidas durante el Pleistoceno. De esta manera, en el Ensenadense se registran taxones exclusivos de este piso y otros que poseen su primer y/o último registro fósil durante este periodo. Se espera que este trabajo sirva de base para las futuras contribuciones respecto a la fauna pleistocénica de la región pampeana, así como del resto de la Argentina y América del Sur.

Xenarthra is a monophyletic group, characterized by a particular skeletal architecture, different to other placental mammals. Its current distribution is exclusively Neotropical; however, the fossil record indicates a greater distribution. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated list of the Xenarthra of the lower to middle Pleistocene (Ensenadan Stage) of the Pampean Region (Argentina). The most conspicuous anatomical features that allowed the taxonomic identification offossil remains, especially those of particular biostratigraphic interest, are also briefly described andfigured here. We studied more than 700fossil remains mostly housed in palaeontological collections of Argentina. The study of these specimens (from the Pampean Region), revealed that during the Pleistocene there were marked variations in the composition and distribution ofthe faunas in general and particularly in xenarthrans. This situation was closely related to the Great American Biotic Interchange and climatic oscillations occurring in the Pleistocene. Thus, the Ensenadan fossil record of xenarthrans consists on exclusive taxa and numerous cases of first and last records. Finally, we expect that this contribution provide a starting pointforfuture contributions in respect of the Pleistocene fauna, not only from the Pampean Region, but also from the rest of Argentina and South America.
