    A Global Assessment of Parasite Diversity in Galaxiid Fishes

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus.
  • El Grado De Protección De Los Anfibios Patagónicos De Argentina

    El Grado De Protección De Los Anfibios Patagónicos De Argentina

    DiciembreEcología Austral de 2007 17:269-279. Diciembre PROTECCIÓN 2007 DE ANFIBIOS PATAGÓNICOS 269 Asociación Argentina de Ecología El grado de protección de los anfibios patagónicos de Argentina * CARMEN ÚBEDA & DORA GRIGERA Centro Regional Universitario Bariloche, Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Bariloche, Río Negro, Argentina. RESUMEN. En este trabajo se evalúa si las áreas protegidas de la Patagonia brindan una protección adecuada a los anfibios de esta región. Se analizó la distribución y la categoría de conservación de 31 taxa de anuros en función de la ubicación de las áreas protegidas, particularmente del sistema nacional. Seis taxa no se registraron en unidad de protección alguna, siendo la mayoría de ellos típicos de estepa. Todos los anfibios de bosque se encuentran al menos en un área protegida. Cinco de los taxa que se consideran amenazados, y uno insuficientemente conocido, no están comprendidos en ninguna unidad de protección. Otros anfibios amenazados, incluyendo microendemismos y un género monotípico, están en áreas que por falta de implementación o control no garantizan su conservación. La contigüidad entre varios Parques Nacionales argentinos y chilenos a lo largo de los Andes patagónicos contribuye a la protección de los anfibios de bosque, mientras que esta situación favorece a una sola de las especies esteparias. Se concluye que las razones históricas que influyeron en la ubicación de las áreas protegidas, afectaron positivamente a la batracofauna de los bosques, quedando fuera de las áreas nacionales la mayoría de los taxa endémicos de estepa, cuya protección en áreas no pertenecientes al sistema nacional es deficiente o nula.

Conservation status of Amphibians of Argentina: An update and evaluation of national assessments 1,3Marcos Vaira, 1Laura C. Pereyra, 1Mauricio S. Akmentins, and 2Jon Bielby 1Instituto de Ecorregiones Andinas (INECOA), CONICET, Universidad Nacional de Jujuy, Av. Bolivia 1711 (4600), San Salvador de Jujuy, ARGENTINA 2Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent's Park, London NW1 4RY, UNITED KINGDOM Abstract.—We present a review on the conservation status of the 177 species and subspecies of amphibians of Argentina and compare the first national assessment, conducted in 2000, with the most recent one, from 2012, to determine changes in conservation status over time. We also evaluate the degree of taxonomic and geographic non-randomness in extinction risk among these taxa. The present study shows an improvement in the knowledge of amphibian diversity in Argentina, but also increasing evidence of population declines and species absences. Twenty-two species showed a genuine increase in threat status between national assessments, and habitat loss and/or degradation, chytrid fungus infection, and introduction of invasive species have been reported as the main threats. Randomization tests showed families Telmatobiidae and Batrachylidae to be over-threatened and Hylidae and Leptodactylidae to be significantly under-threatened. Also, four ecoregions were shown to be significantly over-threatened (Patagonian Steepe, Patagonian Woodlands, Puna, and Yungas Forests). This evaluation help to identify groups of species that face similar suites and intensities of threat as a result of their overlapping geographical distributions and shared biological susceptibility as a result of their evolutionary history.

Además, analizamos los posibles orígenes de esta ictiofauna, postulando que parte de la cuenca del río Valdivia ha funcionado como un sumidero, principalmente su parte alta, con aportes de fuentes tanto costero-Pacífi cas como del Este de Los Andes. Concluimos que el río San Pedro es de particular valor ictiofaunístico por su alta riqueza específi ca, endemismos y características biogeográfi cas. PALABRAS CLAVE: Fauna íctica, Río San Pedro, Endemismos, Conservación, Chile. ABSTRACT Based on three consecutive years of sampling and bibliographic revision, the composition, singularity and conservation status of the San Pedro River ichthyofauna is described. In addition, the potential origin of this Valdivia River ichthyofauna was analyzed and this basin is proposed to have worked like a sink, mainly the higher zone, having been colonized both from Coastal-Pacifi c as from Eastern Andes sources. It is concluded that this river has a particular conservation value due to its high species richness, endemism and biogeographic characteristics.

    United States Department of Agriculture Ecology and Conservation Forest Service Rocky Mountain of the Cactus Ferruginous Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-43 Pygmy-Owl in Arizona January 2000 Abstract ____________________________________ Cartron, Jean-Luc E.; Finch, Deborah M., tech. eds. 2000. Ecology and conservation of the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl in Arizona. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-43. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 68 p. This report is the result of a cooperative effort by the Rocky Mountain Research Station and the USDA Forest Service Region 3, with participation by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Bureau of Land Management. It assesses the state of knowledge related to the conservation status of the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl in Arizona. The population decline of this owl has been attributed to the loss of riparian areas before and after the turn of the 20th century. Currently, the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl is chiefly found in southern Arizona in xeroriparian vegetation and well- structured upland desertscrub. The primary threat to the remaining pygmy-owl population appears to be continued habitat loss due to residential development. Important information gaps exist and prevent a full understanding of the current population status of the owl and its conservation needs.

Here we provide new details on this unique behavior, as well as the first description of a White- fronted Ground-Tyrant (Muscisaxicola albifrons) nest, from the Quelccaya Ice Cap, in the Cordillera Vilcanota of Peru. Since 2005, .50 old White-winged Diuca Finch nests have been found. The first 2 active nests were found in April 2014; 9 were found in April 2016, 1 of which was filmed for 10 d during the 2016 nestling period. Video of the nest revealed infrequent feedings (.1 h between visits), slow nestling development (estimated 20–30 d), and feeding via regurgitation. The first and only active White-fronted Ground-Tyrant nest was found in October 2014, beneath the glacier in the same area. Three other unoccupied White-fronted Ground-Tyrant nests and an eggshell have been found since, all on glacier ice. At Quelccaya, we also observed multiple species roosting in crevasses or voids (caves) beneath the glacier, at elevations between 5,200 m and 5,500 m, including both White-winged Diuca Finch and White-fronted Ground-Tyrant, as well as Plumbeous Sierra Finch (Phrygilus unicolor), Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe (Attagis gayi), and Gray-breasted Seedsnipe (Thinocorus orbignyianus). These nesting and roosting behaviors are all likely adaptations to the harsh environment, as the glacier provides a microclimate protected from precipitation, wind, daily mean temperatures below freezing, and strong solar irradiance (including UV-B and UV-A).
