“…Estos pueden contribuir a la continuidad y cercanía entre los fragmentos, aumentando los puntos potenciales de descanso y reduciendo las distancias de viaje. En otras regiones, las configuraciones paisajísticas de este tipo han demostrado ser importantes en el fomento de poblaciones reproductivas (Naugle et al, 2000).…”

Pereda-Solís, M. (2017). La abundancia de aves acuáticas (Anseriformes) en relación con la complejidad del paisaje en un sitio Ramsar del norte de México. Acta Zoológica Mexicana (n.s.), 33(2), 199-210. RESUMEN. La abundancia de aves acuáticas (Anseriformes) en relación con la complejidad del paisaje en un sitio Ramsar del norte de México. Se evaluó la respuesta de las poblaciones de aves acuáticas (Anseriformes) a la estructura del paisaje en un sitio Ramsar en el estado de Durango, México. Se delimitaron los cuerpos de agua presentes durante el invierno mediante el cálculo del Índice Diferencial Normalizado de Vegetación (NDVI) en imágenes LANDSAT, cubriendo un periodo de 35 años (1979 -2014). El área de estudio se clasificó en ambientes acuáticos y terrestres. Se calcularon índices de fragmentación como descriptores de la complejidad del paisaje, creada por la abundancia y distribución de los cuerpos de agua. La información poblacional de aves acuáticas se obtuvo de los conteos invernales realizados entre 1979 y 2014 por el U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) y por la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT). La superficie ocupada por los cuerpos de agua mostró una marcada oscilación de 4,000 a 29,000 ha. La forma, la extensión y el nivel de aislamiento de los cuerpos de agua, fueron los factores más importantes para las aves acuáticas. La complejidad en la forma de los humedales tuvo un efecto positivo sobre la presencia de aves, mientras que las grandes extensiones de agua, se relacionan con una reducción en el tamaño de las poblaciones. Los resultados sugieren que esta región puede resultar más atractiva para los gansos cuando ABSTRACT. The response of waterfowl (Anseriformes) populations to the landscape structure was evaluated in a Ramsar site in the state of Durango, Mexico. Water bodies present during the winter were delimited using the calculation of the normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) in LANDSAT images, covering a period of 35 years (1979 -2014). The study area was categorized into aquatic and terrestrial environments. Indices of fragmentation were calculated as descriptors of landscape complexity, represented by the abundance and distribution of the water bodies. Waterfowl populational information was obtained from winter counts conducted between 1979 and 2014 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and by the Mexican Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT, by its Spanish acronym). The area occupied by the water bodies presented a marked oscillation of 4,000 to 29,000 ha. The shape, area and isolation of the wetland landscape were the most important factors for the waterfowl. The shape complexity had a positive effect on the presences of birds, while large areas reduced the waterfowl population size. The results suggest that, for anseriformes, this region could be more attractive when water bodies develop complex shapes, the isolation increases and size is reduced. These findings present an opportunity for water management, in order to...

“…Wetland loss and degradation should be avoided (Zimmerman 1977, Brown and Dinsmore 1986, Daub 1993, VanRees-Siewert 1993, Conway and Eddleman 1994, Faanes and Lingle 1995, Naugle et al 2001. The long-term protection of wetlands can be achieved through conservation easements and purchases of wetland basins (Holliman 1977, VanRees-Siewert 1993, Conway and Eddleman 1994, VanRees-Siewert and Dinsmore 1996, Weller 1999, Dault 2001.…”

“…The long-term protection of wetlands can be achieved through conservation easements and purchases of wetland basins (Holliman 1977, VanRees-Siewert 1993, Conway and Eddleman 1994, VanRees-Siewert and Dinsmore 1996, Weller 1999, Dault 2001. The ideal management strategy for waterbirds is to maintain wetland complexes and large wetlands or lakes (Kantrud and Stewart 1984, Brown and Dinsmore 1986, Fredrickson and Reid 1986, Daub 1993, Conway and Eddleman 1994, Weller 1999, Dault 2001, Naugle et al 2001. Because of variation in water levels over seasons or years, wetland complexes are more likely to have at least some wetlands in a water and plant regime favorable to a particular species, thus ensuring diverse species' representation in a geographical area Marshall 1954, Weller 1999).…”

“…Total wetland area within the surrounding landscape. Migrating waterbirds may choose stopover locations at a landscape scale (Naugle et al 2001, Beatty et al 2014, and the presence of wetland complexes may be a good indicator for some species (Naugle et al 2000, 2001, Beatty et al 2014). …”

“…Today, this area still provides resources for more than 100 species of birds. During migration, wetlands in the PPR provide foraging habitat and allow migrants to gain energy and build nutrient reserves in between flights of up to several thousand kilometers (Skagen and Knopf 1993, Naugle et al 2001, Murphy and Dinsmore 2014. For some species, the energy gained from seeds, plants, and macroinvertebates may have an important influence on their reproductive success (Krapu et al 1981, Ankney et al 1991, Jenni and Jenni-Eiermann 1998, Anteau and Afton 2004.…”
