[email protected] Resumen.- Las comunidades submareales de arrecifes de gran parte de las costas del mundo han sido descritas en detalle, sin embargo, escasa información existe para los extensos arrecifes subantárticos. El objetivo fue describir estos sistemas costeros del sur y medir el grado en que varían en función de las medidas fundamentales de la estructura de la comunidad. La Región Magallánica constituye un sitio intermedio entre sitios relativamente bien estudiados en regiones temperadas y Antártica. Estudios previos sugieren que la especie de alga dominante (dosel) puede reflejar diferentes historias de perturbación así como diferencias en sus comunidades asociadas. Hipotetisamos que la variación en los ensambles submareales sésiles en Magallanes, donde Macrocystis pyrifera domina ampliamente, será menor a la que ocurre en sitios en Antártica, donde Desmarestia spp. o Himantothallus grandifolius dominan dependiendo de los regímenes de disturbios. Los resultados de este estudio muestran que los ensambles bentónicos en el Estrecho de Magallanes fueron similares en aquellos lugares donde la estructura física del arrecife fue similar, pero variaron fuertemente donde la forma del arrecife fue distinta.

  • Traces of Antarctica Around Punta Arenas and the Straits of Magellan
    TRACES OF ANTARCTICA AROUND PUNTA ARENAS AND THE STRAITS OF MAGELLAN 1 Contents Introduction 3 Central Punta Arenas 4 Northern Punta Arenas 38 Straits of Magellan tour 48 References 60 Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. It was not until the 19th century that its status as a land mass could even be confirmed. Its location so far from the great population centers and the most important ports of the world helped to keep Antarctica shrouded not only by its impenetrable ice, but also under a veil of mystery. Punta Arenas was the principal point of reference for all the early Antarctic scientific expeditions. Though young by modern standards, the city nevertheless served a vital role not only as the departure point for journeys to the White Continent but also in some of the most dramatic stories of survival in the course of human endeavor. Even today, Punta Arenas serves as the capital of Patagonia and continues to be one of the most strategic and important ports for expeditions headed across the treacherous Southern Ocean. The Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH) celebrates its fifty years of service both to the nation and to science, promoting exploration, research, and education about the polar region. And while reaching Antarctica itself can be a daunting challenge for many people, this guidebook provides a valuable tool for residents and visitors to Punta Arenas, allowing everyone to experience the rich cultural, historical, and natural heritage of southern Patagonia. To that end we have identified fifty locations of interest that are linked to Antarctica which can be visited in and around the city, and along the Straits of Magellan.
