Abstract

The research was carried out in the Guanahacabibes Peninsula, with the objective of determining the density of Capromys pilorides Say in three towns in those mangroves. Three areas were selected (Carabelita, Palma sola and Bolondrón) in which 10 transects of 0, 50 ha there is each one, in the same ones the jutías density was determined by species and for there is. The present species were determined in each area; the circumference of the tree was measured where they were the jutías, the basal area (G), the distance, the circumference and the basal area of the next four trees to this. A test of media comparison (ANOVA Factorial) and Tukey test was made for the comparison of the jutías density for town and for species of plants. Was also carried out an analysis for main components of the variables of the measured vegetation. The density (jutías/ha) it varied, being bigger in Carabelita 31, 2 adults/ha. Of the four species that form the mangrove vegetation, Conocarpus erecta was the one that carried out the most important list in the pattern of the populations' of Capromys pilorides distribution in the three towns. The variables town and distances among the trees they are those that more impacted in the jutías density in the mangrove studied areas.
