Individuals moving to new areas usually 18 confront a different set of biotic and abiotic variables, and most dispersed individuals do not 19 survive. However, if they are capable of surviving and adapting to the new conditions, they may 20 establish self-sufficient populations, colonise the new areas, and even spread into nearby 21 locations (Mack et al. 2000). In doing so, they will produce ecological transformations in the 22 new areas, which may lead to changes in other species’ populations and communities, speciation 23 and the formation of new ecosystems (Wilson et al. 2009). 24 25 Human extra-range dispersals since the Pleistocene have produced important distribution 26 changes across species of all taxonomic groups. Along our prehistory and history, we have aided 27 other species’ extra-range dispersals either by deliberate translocations or by ecological 28 facilitation due to habitat changes or modification of ecological relationships (Boivin et al. 29 2016). -
Bryozoa De La Placa De Nazca Con Énfasis En Las Islas Desventuradas

MOYANO G. Departamento de Zoología Universidad de Concepción Casilla 160-C Concepción Recepción: 27 de abril de 2004 – Versión corregida aceptada: 1 de octubre de 2004. RESUMEN Esta es una revisión parcial de las faunas de briozoos conocidas hasta ahora provenientes de la Placa de Nazca. A partir de las publicaciones preexistentes y del examen de algunas muestras se compa- raron zoogeográficamente Pascua (PAS), Salas y Gómez (SG), Juan Fernández (JF), Desventuradas (DES) y Galápagos (GAL). Para la comparación se utilizaron tres conjuntos de 115, 140 y 170 géneros de los territorios insulares ya indicados, los que incluyen también aquellos de las costas chileno-peruanas influi- das por la corriente de Humboldt (CHP) y los de las islas Kermadec (KE). Los dendrogramas resultantes demuestran que los territorios insulares más afines son los de Juan Fernández y las Desventuradas en términos de afinidad genérica briozoológica. El dendrograma basado en 170 géneros de los órdenes Ctenostomatida y Cheilostomatida muestra dos conjuntos principales a saber: a) JF, DES y CHP y b) PAS, GA y KE a los cuales se une solitariamente SG. Sobre la base de la comparación a nivel genérico indicada más arriba, para las islas Desventura- das no se justifica un status zoogeográfico separado de nivel de provincia tropical sino que debería integrarse a la provincia temperado-cálida de Juan Fernández. -

Herrera & Charlotte E. Causton Charles Darwin Research Station, Galapagos, Ecuador. <[email protected]> SUMMARY The Little Fire Ant Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger) and the Tropical Fire Ant Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) are consid- ered two of the most serious threats to the terrestrial fauna of Galapagos, yet little is known about their distribution in the archipelago. Specimens at the Charles Darwin Research Station and literature were reviewed and distribution maps compiled for both species. W. auropunctata is currently recorded on nine islands and six islets and S. geminata is recorded on seven islands and six islets. New locations were registered, including the first record of W. auropunctata on Española and North Seymour islands, and of S. geminata on Fernandina Island. We recommend further survey, especially in sensitive areas, in order to plan management of these species. RESUMEN La Pequeña Hormiga de Fuego Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger) y la Hormiga Tropical de Fuego Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) son especies introducidas consideradas de mayor amenaza a la fauna terrestre de Galápagos, sin embargo poco se conoce sobre su distribución en el archipiélago. A través de consultas bibliográficas y revisiones a los especimenes de la Estación Científica Charles Darwin, se determinó su actual distribución. W. auropunctata esta registrada en nueve islas y seis islotes y S. geminata se encuentra en siete islas y seis islotes. -

Through sampling on the island scale it is unclear whether these transitions are gradational or sharp and Monogenetic whether they result in a gradational or a sharp boundary in terms of the composition of erupted lavas. Clusters of Hotspot interisland seamounts are prevalent on the Galápagos Platform, and occur in the transition zone in morphology Galápagos between western and eastern volcanoes providing an opportunity to evaluate sharpness of the compositional Basalt E/V Nautilus boundary resulting from these physical transitions. Two of these seamounts, located east of Isabela Island and southwest of the island of Santiago, were sampled by remotely operated vehicle in 2015 during a telepresence- supported E/V Nautilus cruise, operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. We compare the chemistries of these seamount lavas with samples erupted subaerially on the islands of Isabela and Santiago, to test whether sea- mounts are formed from melt generation and storage similar to that of the western or eastern volcanoes, or transitional between the two systems. -

Use of Geothermal Energy for Seawater Desalination in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
Orkustofnun, Grensasvegur 9, Reports 2015 IS-108 Reykjavik, Iceland Number 19 USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY FOR SEAWATER DESALINATION IN THE GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS, ECUADOR Andrés Lloret C. National Institute of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, INER Av. 6 de Diciembe N33-32 e Ignacion Bossano ECUADOR [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The lack of reliable sources of potable water is a health and social problem in the Galápagos. The presence of geothermal resources in the islands opens a window of opportunity for the development of a geothermal energy-driven desalination system. Analysis on the available research studies on three shield volcanoes located on the western side of Isabela Island, reveals that Alcedo Volcano presents the most active hydrothermal system with a liquid-dominated reservoir. This type of system is suitable to achieve the separation of nearly salt-free fresh water by implementing a Single Stage Flash Geothermal desalination system (SSF-G). The concept implies the use of geothermal brine from a separator unit as the heat input source for desalination, while producing electricity from the steam to power the plant totally detached from the grid. Results from a thermodynamic model and exergy analysis of the system, using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, show that the geothermal resource can be successfully coupled to this desalination method. It also reveals that most of the energy received from the well, exits the plant while still containing substantial exergy, which can be used to perform usable work by the system. As a result of irreversibilities, exergy destruction occurs in all the heat exchangers of the desalination process.
