This study aimed to examine the indirect influence of tuco-tucos on bird populations and assemblages in the southernmost region of the desert Puna. In a shrub-steppe community, at an altitude of between 3000 and 3100 m above sea level, bird surveys were conducted from February 2001 to October 2004. Transects of 50 m in length and 40 m in width were established: 56 located in highly disturbed patches and 53 in patches with low disturbance by tuco-tucos. Our results show that areas with higher disturbance by tuco-tucos are associated with a decrease in bird abundance (93 individuals in disturbed areas vs. 226 in undisturbed areas) and lower species richness (6 species in disturbed areas vs. 11 in undisturbed areas)."],"dc:format":["application\/vnd.ms-excel"],"dc:language":["spa"],"dc:type":"dataset","dc:rights":["info:eu-repo\/semantics\/openAccess","https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.5\/ar\/"],"dc:identifier":"https:\/\/repositoriosdigitales.mincyt.gob.ar\/vufind\/Record\/CONICETDig_4345db245476ee5f7a7b6f27e4dbbc69"}
