Resumen
La problemática que da origen al presente trabajo
se refiere a los factores que
influyen en la distribución
y abundancia de
las
comunidades de
reptiles.
El
Elemento
Natural Destacado Boquerón
presenta
dos
variantes
principales
de tipo de
vegetación
:
de Mogote y el Bosque S
emideci
duo
. Existen en el área
12 especies
distribuidas en cinco familias y un orden
,
con
predominio
de lagartos
diurnos;
pero
con
ausencia de información
del comportamiento de
sus
comunidades
de
reptiles.
Se efectuaron listados por recorridos en el área
dos veces al mes, durante seis
meses utilizando trochas y senderos para lugares antropizados y brechas entre la
vegetación
de los núcleos conservados.
De las visitas realizadas, se tomó la que
más avistamientos arrojó
y se anotaron
las
especies
y
sus
datos
de
hábitat
y
microhábitat.
La estadística descriptiva permitió afirmar que existe
una mayor
riqueza de especies
de
reptile
s
en el B
o
s
que
S
emideci
duo
debido a la
mayor
disponibilidad de
sustratos.
Las espec
ies
más
representadas fueron
Anolis
sagrei
y
Anolis
lucius
.
T
odas
son
dependientes
de
las
características del
hábitat.
A
mayor
número
de estratos
a usar, mayor
número de
especies
de reptiles.
L
a
insolación
es
un
parámetr
o
esencial
en
la
segregación
de las
especies.
Lo
anterior
demuestra
que
el B
osque
S
emideci
duo
,
soporta
una mayor comunidad,
con
abundantes
endémicos
,
sin embargo, existen diferencias significativas entre el uso de recursos
en
las
formaciones vegetales y las comunidades se comportan de manera diferente
,
por lo que resulta necesario la conservación de ambas para la salud del ecosistema
del
Elemento Natur
al Destacado Boquerón
The aim of the present work refers to the factors that influence the distribution and abundance of reptile communities. The Boquerón Outstanding Natural Element presents two main types of vegetation: from Mogote and the semideciduous Forest. There are 12 s pecies in the area distributed in five families and one order, with a predominance of daytime lizards; but with absence of information on the behavior of their reptile communities. Lists were made by routes in the area twice a month, for six months using t rails and trails for anthropized places and gaps between the vegetation of the conserved nuclei. Of the visits made, the most sightings were taken and the species and their habitat and microhabitat data were recorded. The descriptive statistics allowed to affirm that there is a greater richness of reptile species in the semideciduous forest due to the greater availability of substrates. The most represented species were Anolis sagrei and Anolis lucius. All are dependent on the characteristics of the habitat . The greater the number of strata to be used, the greater the number of reptile species. Heat stroke is an essential parameter in the segregation of species. The above shows that the semideciduous forest supports a larger community, with abundant endemics , however, there are significant differences between the use of resources in both plant formations and the communities behave differently so it is necessary to conserve both formations Vegetables for the health of the ecosystem of the Boquerón Natural Elem ent.
