Estudiamos el uso del hábitat de la Martineta Chaqueña (Eudromia formosa) en el oeste de la provincia de Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Realizamos 202 censos (34 otoño e invierno 2002, 36 primavera 2002, 71 verano 2002-2003, 33 otoño e invierno 2003, 10 verano 2004 y 18 otoño e invierno 2004). El éxito de muestreo (al menos un individuo por muestra) fue del 72%. Encontramos 12 individuos en 1000 hectáreas durante la época no reproductiva distribuidos en 5 grupos y 22 individuos a fines de enero (época reproductiva). A diferencia deE. elegans, los grupos eran de no más de 4 individuos, generalmente de 3. Cada grupo en sus aproximadas 200 ha de territorio recorren las sendas lentamente mientras buscan alimento. Prefieren el bosque de quebrachos y algarrobos pero usan también otros ambientes, además penetran en los campos cultivados en busca de insectos. A fines de la primavera y comienzos del verano, en concordancia con la llegada de las lluvias, aumentó un 80% el número de individuos y se observó que a los residentes se unieron individuos de áreas vecinas.

Dueñas2, Valeria Pizarro3 1 Unidad de Ecología y Sistemática, Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. 2 Laboratorio de Biología Molecular Marina - BIOMMAR, Departamento de Ciencias Biológicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. 3 Programa de Biología Marina, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano. Santa Marta. Colombia. * [email protected] Recibido: 28-02-2011; Aceptado: 11-05-2011 Abstract Recruitment, defined and measured as the incorporation of new individuals (i.e. coral juveniles) into a population, is a fundamental process for ecologists, evolutionists and conservationists due to its direct effect on population structure and function. Because most coral populations are self-feeding, a breakdown in recruitment would lead to local extinction. Recruitment indirectly affects both renewal and maintenance of existing and future coral communities, coral reef biodiversity (bottom-up effect) and therefore coral reef resilience. This process has been used as an indirect measure of individual reproductive success (fitness) and is the final stage of larval dispersal leading to population connectivity. As a result, recruitment has been proposed as an indicator of coral-reef health in marine protected areas, as well as a central aspect of the decision-making process concerning management and conservation.

  • Marine Management
    MARINE MANAGEMENT GALÁPAGOS REPORT 2015 - 2016 Analysis of agreements reached in the Participatory Management Board 2010-2015 Elvis Llerena, Tania Quisingo and Roberto Maldonado Galapagos National Park Directorate Photo: © Alex Hearn Introduction The Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) was created in 1998 within the framework of the Special Law for Galapagos (LOREG or Ley de Régimen Especial para la Conservación y Desarrollo Sustentable de la Provincia de Galápagos; CNE, 1998). Currently, the conservation of resources of the GMR is high and social conflicts have been addressed with the participation of all of its users. This article reviews participatory management of the GMR and the priorities of the Participatory Management Board (PMG) during its last six years of existence, prior to its dissolution under the 2015 reform of the Special Law (National Assembly, 2015). While the human population in the Galapagos Islands increased gradually throughout much of the 20th century, population growth accelerated as a result of burgeoning tourism activity beginning in the 1970s. At first, the local community focused on agricultural activities, hunting, and fishing to sustain their families. Fisheries became a necessity for survival as well as a traditional activity among Galapagos residents. Fishing focused mainly on lobster and white fish, with sea cucumber harvesting beginning in the 1990s. The enactment of the LOREG in 1998 marked an historic milestone for fisheries for two primary reasons: 1) it created the GMR, with an extension of 40 miles measured from the outer coastlines; and 2) it restricted fishing activities within the GMR to local fishermen who were affiliated with a legally constituted fishing cooperative.

  • FIELD GUIDES BIRDING TOURS: Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena
    Field Guides Tour Report Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena Valley, and Santa Marta 2014 Jan 11, 2014 to Jan 27, 2014 Jesse Fagan & Trevor Ellery For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. A fun group and the most productive tour we have had to date! We observed 582 bird taxa in 17 days of birding, which beat our record last year of 555 by a bunch. As we fine-tune our birding route and learn more about Colombian birds things just seem to get better and better. This year we saw 33 endemics and loads of interesting subspecies and near-endemics. Highlights included a female Blue- billed Curassow, Kelp Gull(s) at Los Camerones (only the second time it has been recorded in Colombia), Dwarf and Pavonine cuckoos (the latter a lifer for Trevor!), a splendid Crested Owl, Sapphire- bellied Hummingbird (nice comparisons with Sapphire-throated), Double-banded Graytail in the coffee finca below Reinita Cielo Azul lodge, the always elusive Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant and antpitta, Turquoise Dacnis, and singing Yellow-bellied Siskin. It is really hard to pick just one from so many! I want to thank all of you again for a really enjoyable trip. Thanks also to Trevor Ellery, our local guide, and Giovanni, our driver, for their hard work. I look forward to seeing you again in the field. Bird On. --Jesse a.k.a.

Clitheroe, Lancashire, Reino Unido Abstract: Observations of defensive behaviours in two species of tinamous are described. Use of the subcaudal feathers as a means of nest crypsis is described and illustrated in an incubating Tataupa Tinamou (Crypturellus tataupa (Temminck, 1815)). An arboreal roosting Solitary Tinamou [Tinamus solitarius (Vieillot, 1819)] is shown to deliberately assume a tail up posture indicating Batesian mimicry of a large owl. It is hypothesised that the imbricated scales on the posterior tarsi of this species assist in assuming this posture, and that such a defence is necessary given the exposed perches on which they choose to roost and the notoriously poor flight capacity of members of this family. Keywords: Batesian mimicry. Crypturellus tataupa. Nest defence. Paraguay. Tataupa Tinamou. Resumo: Observações do comportamento defensivo de duas espécies de Tinamidae foram descritas. É descrito e ilustrado o uso de penas subcaudais como mecanismo de crípse do ninho por um espécime de inhambu-chintã (Crypturellus tataupa (Temminck, 1815)), que estava encubando os ovos. Também foi registrado um espécime de macuco [Tinamus solitarius (Vieillot, 1819)] que estava empoleirado no galho de uma árvore e, quando perturbado, ergueu a cauda, assumindo a aparência de uma coruja, possivelmente um exemplo de mimetismo Batesiano.

    7 MARCO INSTITUCIONAL Y LEGAL 7.1 INTRODUCCIÓN Este capítulo presenta un marco institucional respecto de las zonas costeras, con especial énfasis en los actores (administradores y usuarios) involucrados en el manejo de la zona costera, así como en los bienes de uso público del dominio marítimo de la Nación ubicados en las zonas costeras, presentando una síntesis sobre su problemática. Igualmente se describe y analiza la situación jurídica de las islas oceánicas y costeras continentales de la Nación, para finalmente hacer una descripción de las políticas sectoriales existentes hoy día y que son tenidas en cuenta en la formulación de las políticas para el ordenamiento ambiental de las zonas costeras. Con este análisis no se pretende agotar el tema pero sí aportar un punto de vista sobre la principal problemática en la zona costera. 7.2 ACTORES Como actores se entiende a todas las personas que intervienen activa o pasivamente en los procesos de gestión para su propio desarrollo o que asisten al proceso. Abarca los habitantes, lo usuarios (habitantes o no del ámbito territorial), los representantes del gobierno, los organismos públicos o privados, los asesores, los representantes de los grupos de poder y en general todas las personas que ven afectada su calidad de vida y que influyen o reciben los efectos del uso y conservación de los recursos del ámbito territorial, así como los que tienen como función apoyar el desarrollo del hombre en dichos ámbitos. La determinación de los actores involucrados en el proceso es una de las etapas más importantes. Son los grupos claves de interés en la problemática de la zona costera que pueden participar en la solución de muchos conflictos costeros.

  • Paraguayan Mega! (Paul Smith)
    “South America’s Ivorybill”, the Helmeted Woodpecker is a Paraguayan mega! (Paul Smith) PARAGUAY 15 SEPTEMBER – 2 OCTOBER 2017 LEADER: PAUL SMITH With just short of 400 birds and 17 mammals Paraguay once again proved why it is South America’s fastest growing birding destination. The "Forgotten Heart of South America", may still be an “off the beaten track” destination that appeals mainly to adventurous birders, but thanks to some easy walking, stunning natural paradises and friendly, welcoming population, it is increasingly becoming a “must visit” country. And there is no wonder, with a consistent record for getting some of South America’s super megas such as Helmeted Woodpecker, White-winged Nightjar, Russet-winged Spadebill and Saffron-cowled Blackbird, it has much to offer the bird-orientated visitor. Paraguay squeezes four threatened ecosystems into its relatively manageable national territory and this, Birdquest’s fourth trip, visits all of them. As usual the trip gets off to flyer in the humid and dry Chaco; meanders through the rarely-visited Cerrado savannas; indulges in a new bird frenzy in the megadiverse Atlantic Forest; and signs off with a bang in the Mesopotamian flooded grasslands of southern Paraguay. This year’s tour was a little earlier than usual, and we suffered some torrential rainstorms, but with frequent knee-trembling encounters with megas along the way it was one to remember. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Paraguay www.birdquest-tours.com Crakes would be something of a theme on this trip, and we started off with a belter in the pouring rain, the much sought after Grey-breasted Crake.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of seabird nests present on Malpelo Island, the main characteristics of the islandʼs topography, and the types of substratum available for nesting were addressed using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The model is based on data from remote sensors (satellite images, aerial photography and panoramic photography), and from field data processed through a geographical information system. The nests of Sula granti prevail on the surfaces of Malpelo Island and neighboring islets, while those of the remaining species (S. sula, Creagrus furcatus, Anous stolidus, A. minutus and Gygis alba) are spatially restricted to the cliff margins and to crevices or caverns at different heights. The presence of terrestrial predators and predatory birds (Fregata spp.) seems to mainly explain the marginal distribution of other breeding species. The cartographic data presented here differ significantly from past and current representations, especially those concerning the islandʼs emerged surface and other geomorphologic features. This new cartographical information will support future studies on the terrestrial fauna and flora of Malpelo Island and its islets. KEY WORDS: Seabirds, Nest distribution, Digital Elevation Model, Malpelo Island, Colombia.
