Estimación de la proporción de sexos de neonatos de tortuga charapa (Podocnemis unifilis) mediante morfometría del caparazón, en la Amazonía ecuatoriana

Abstract: Una de las causas de la declinación de poblaciones de Podocnemis unifilis es la captura y consumo de hembras adultas y sus huevos; por esta presión, existen varios programas de manejo comunitario, los cuales mediante incubación, crianza y liberación de juveniles intentan mitigar esta disminución, sin embargo, en estos programas no conocen la proporción de sexos que van a ser devueltos al río. Este estudio busca determinar la proporción de sexos en neonatos de P. unifilis, mediante métodos morfométricos como un… Show more

“…In this case, the national risk category should refer to the 2005 Red List of Reptiles of Ecuador, where the charapa is categorized as Critically Endangered. This specimen is very important within its ecosystem because of the crucial ecological role they play as seed dispersers, cleaners of the aquatic system and as a food source for other species of aquatic fauna [35,57]. In Ecuador, charapas are threatened by the increasing illegal co-commercialization and exploitation of their meat and eggs for human consumption, as well as the capture and sale of juveniles and adults as domestic pets [58].…”
