Abstract: Se estudió la dieta de cuatro especies de marsupiales didélfidos, Philander andersoni, P. opossum, Metachirus nudicaudatus y Didelphis marsupialis en los bosques húmedos de los alrededores de la carretera Iquitos-Nauta, Loreto, Perú, mediante el análisis de sus contenidos estomacales. El análisis de los datos incluyó comparaciones intraespecíficas a nivel de edad y sexo, y comparaciones interespecíficas a nivel de época y hábitats; mediante análisis de varianza, los índices de amplitud y sobreposición de nicho.
El consumo de insectos fue predominante en M. nudicaudatus, comprendiendo más del 60% del volumen de la dieta. Las diferencias significativas se encontraron a nivel intraespecífico según edad en M. nudicaudatus en el consumo de plantas, y a nivel interespecífico se observó que P. opossum consume Chilopoda y M. nudicaudatus consume Insecta a diferencia de las otras especies estudiadas, y no se encontró variación por época ni por hábitat. La mayor amplitud de nicho ocurrió en D. marsupialis (5.53) y la menor en M. nudicaudatus (2.1). Mientras que la sobreposición de nichos fue más alta entre las especies de P. andersoni y M. nudicaudatus (0.99). Las especies de marsupiales muestran algunas variaciones intraespecíficas e interespecíficas en sus hábitos alimenticios y por lo general usan los recursos similares disponibles, alimentándose de un alto porcentaje de Insecta, seguido de las categorías plantas y Vertebrata.
Los resultados muestran algunas semejanzas con otros estudios realizado en el Neotrópico y constituyen el primer aporte a la historia natural de estas especies en Perú.
-- The natural diet of four didelphids marsupial species was studied; Philander andersoni, P. opossum, Metachirus nudicaudatus and Didephis marsupialis in the rainforest surrounding of the Iquitos-Nauta road, Loreto, Peru, through stomach contents analysis, The data analysis included intraespecific relationships (age and sex), and interspecific relationships (climatic season and habitat) comparisons, through variance analysis, niche breadth and overlap indices. The insect consumption was higher in M. nudicaudatus, showing more than 60% of the total diet volume. The statistically significant differences were found at the intraspecific relationship level according to the age in the plant consumption in M. nudicaudatus, and interspecific relationships differences were found for P. opossum which eats Chilopoda and M. nudicaudatus eats Insecta with respect the other species studied here. Variation in climatic season and habitat were not found in the studied species. D. marsupialis presented the largest niche breadth (5.53) and M. nudicaudatus the lowest (2.1). Meanwhile, the highest niche overlap occurred between P. andersoni and M. nudicaudatus (0.99). The species showed some intraspecific and interspecific variations in food habits, and generally use the same available resources, feeding at a high percentage of the Insecta category, followed by plants and Vertebrata categories. The results show similarities with another studies developed in the Neotropic and constitute the first contribution to the natural history of those species in Peru.
