Potential Distribution of Podocnemis lewyana (Reptilia:Podocnemididae) and Its Possible Fluctuation Under Different Global Climate Change Scenarios

Abstract: RESUMENEn este estudio se implementó el modelaje de distribución de especies para establecer el rango de distribución potencial de Podocnemis lewyana, explorar los componentes del clima que pueden influenciar dicha distribución y evaluar posibles fluctuaciones de su distribución bajo escenarios de clima futuro. Los modelos obtenidos predicen una distribución continua de sur a norte por todo el río Magdalena, desde los municipios de Rivera y Palermo en el departamento de Huila, hasta los departamentos de Atlánt… Show more

“…Although for nearly every species, there is evidence that human exploitation and habitat degradation pose threats (Morales-Betancourt et al., 2015a; Morales-Betancourt, Lasso, Trujillo, & De La Ossa, 2012c), for very few species has the effect of different human activities been quantified in terms of its influence on population dynamics or individual fitness. While progress has been made in improving our knowledge of the geographic distributions of continental turtle species in Colombia (Montes-Correa, Saboyá-Acosta, Páez, Vega, & Renjifo, 2014; Ortíz-Yusty, Restrepo, & Páez, 2014; Páez et al., 2012a; Forero-Medina, Yusti-Muñoz, & Castaño-Mora, 2014), we are still not sure, for example, if other species reported in neighboring countries also occur in Colombia, as is the case with Zulia Toad-headed turtle: Mesoclemmys zuliae and Spot-legged Turtle: Rhinoclemmys punctularia (Rueda-Almonacid et al., 2007) . Therefore, it is also a priority to continue exploring border areas to confirm that other species really are present in Colombia.…”
