Resumen

Se estudiaron las duplas madre-cría de vicuñas durante el primer y tercer meses de vida de las crías, en dos ámbitos: campo sin manejo y corral con manejo intensivo. La distancia madre-cría y los comportamientos individuales y de interacción fueron medidos y agrupados para cada cría en cada semana de estudio, generándose así una matriz de 18 por 25 caracteres. Sobre esta matriz se realizaron análisis de agrupamientos y componentes principales. Se diferenciaron tres grupos: campo/primer mes, corral/primer mes y duplas del tercer mes. Los factores discriminantes más importantes fueron la distancia mayor de cuatro metros entre la madre y la cría y la cantidad de minutos que la cría pastorea y está echada. Se discute la utilización de esta metodología para el estudio de las madres y sus crías.
