In consultations at health centres, the GP, the paediatrician and the nursing staff have faced, above all since the end of the XIX century and so far in the XXI century, the fact of having to attend to a numerous population formed of people uprooted from their community, without close relatives in the majority of cases, with different languages and cultures, and with a different way of understanding health and illness. This article analyses this phenomenon and aims to improve the understanding of health professionals and contribute to improving care for the immigrant patient.
ResumenEn la actualidad, con el progresivo cierre de vertederos, nos situamos en un marco experimental ideal para estudiar cómo afecta la reducción drástica de un recurso trófico en la ecología, dinámica poblacional y movimientos de una especie con alto interés en la gestión, como es la gaviota patiamarilla Larus michahellis Naumann, 1840. En este contexto, en 2016 se equiparon con GPS un total de 10 ejemplares adultos de gaviota patiamarilla en una de las colonias de cría de Gipuzkoa, de los que sólo 4 proporcionaron datos hasta el 31.07.2016. El análisis preliminar aporta información básica sobre el uso del territorio durante una parte del periodo reproductor. El porcentaje de localizaciones se distribuyó de esta manera: 60% en la colonia; 18% en otro tipo de hábitats; 12% en prados y cultivos; y 6.5% en vertederos. Se detecta, así, un relativo alto uso de los prados y cultivos del entorno de la colonia, así como de dos de los vertederos más importantes de la región. Por otro lado, parece existir alta variabilidad individual en el uso del territorio que podría reflejar diferentes estrategias en la búsqueda de alimento.Palabras clave: Dispositivos GPS, ecología espacial, especies oportunistas, Gipuzkoa, vertederos. AbstractToday, the progressive closure of landfills provides a good opportunity to study how this affects the drastic reduction of a food resource on the ecology, population dynamics and movement patterns of opportunistic species, such as the yellow-legged gull Larus michahellis Naumann, 1840. Against this background, in 2016, we captured 10 adult breeding gulls in one of the main breeding colonies in Gipuzkoa. These individuals were equipped with a GPS device. Only four of them provided data up to the end of the breeding period (31.07.2016). Preliminary analyses provide basic information about spatial use and trophic habitat during the breeding period (colony: 60%; other habitat types: 18%; grasslands/crops: 12%; dumps: 6,5%). An apparently relatively high use of grasslands and crops is confirmed, as well as the use of two of the largest landfills in the region. We also observed a very high individual variation in territory use, which might reflect different foraging strategies.Key words: GPS device, spatial ecology, opportunistic species, Gipuzkoa, dumps.
