“…Hernández-Ordoñez et al (2014, 2015 sistematizaron la información sobre los anfibios y reptiles de la región Lacandona, ubicada en la parte media de la cuenca, registrando 125 especies (90 reptiles y 35 anfibios), especificando que 9 anfibios (25.7%) y 3 reptiles (2.2%) son endémicos a la selva Lacandona y que hasta la fecha, 4 anfibios y 3 reptiles están restringidos al área de Montes Azules. Asimismo, González-Hernández et al (2014) amplían la distribución de Gymnopis syntrema y Hernández-Ordóñez et al (2017) de Craugastor psephosypharu para la cuenca y para México. Otros trabajos se enfocan a la descripción taxonómica o sitios de registro de algún grupo o especie en particular (Bezy, 1984;Duellman y Trub, 1966;Kofron, 1990;Myers, 1974).…”

Autor para correspondencia: amunoz_ecosur@icloud.com (L.A. Muñoz-Alonso) Recibido: 22 agosto 2017; aceptado: 10 septiembre 2018 ResumenSe presenta un estudio sobre la diversidad y riqueza de la herpetofauna de la cuenca del río Usumacinta, realizado a partir del análisis de 8,808 registros provenientes de colecciones científicas, de la base de datos faunística de la Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad, la revisión de referencias bibliográficas y de trabajo de campo, entre agosto del 2014 y octubre del 2015 para 3 zonas (selva, lagunas y costa) en la cuenca del río Usumacinta. Se reportan 42 especies de anfibios y 110 de reptiles. La zona selva es la más rica en especies, con 136, siguiéndole la zona lagunas con 108 herpetozoos y la zona costa con una riqueza de 66 especies. Los valores del número efectivo de especies reportados ( q D) indican diferencias entre las zonas estudiadas; el más alto para lagunas ( 1 D = 20.98 ± 3.35), el segundo para costa ( 1 D = 16.01 ± 2.35) y el último para zona selva ( 1 D = 11.63 ± 1.64). Se analiza la diversidad y composición de 3 gremios funcionales: anuros, tortugas y cocodrilos. Desde el punto de vista herpetofaunístico, las zonas selva y lagunas son las más importantes por su alta riqueza y diversidad de especies. AbstractA study is presented on the diversity and richness of the herpetofauna of the Usumacinta basin, based on 8,808 records from scientific collections, faunistic databases of the Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad, bibliographical references review, and field survey (2014-2015) for 3 study zones (Selva, Lagunas, and Costa) in the basin. For the study region, 42 species of amphibians and 110 species of reptiles were reported. The Selva zone was the richest in species, with 136, followed by Lagunas with 108 herpetozoos and Costa with a richness of 66 species. Values of effective number of species ( q D) indicate differences between the study zones, showing Lagunas ( 1 D = 20.98 ± 3.35) the highest value, followed by Costa ( 1 D = 16.01 ± 2.35) and Selva ( 1 D = 11.63 ± 1.64). The diversity and composition of three functional guilds (anurans, turtles and crocodiles) were analyzed. Selva and Lagunas are the most important zones based on their high richness and diversity of amphibians and reptiles.

Towards evidence‐based conservation of subterranean ecosystems

et al. 2022

Subterranean ecosystems are among the most widespread environments on Earth, yet we still have poor knowledge of their biodiversity. To raise awareness of subterranean ecosystems, the essential services they provide, and their unique conservation challenges, 2021 and 2022 were designated International Years of Caves and Karst. As these ecosystems have traditionally been overlooked in global conservation agendas and multilateral agreements, a quantitative assessment of solution-based approaches to safeguard subterranean biota and associated habitats is timely. This assessment allows researchers and practitioners to understand the progress made and research needs in subterranean ecology and management. We conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed and grey literature focused on subterranean ecosystems globally (terrestrial, freshwater, and saltwater systems), to quantify the available evidence-base for the effectiveness of conservation interventions. We selected 708 publications from the years 1964 to 2021 that discussed, recommended, or implemented 1,954 conservation interventions in subterranean ecosystems. We noted a steep increase in the number of studies from the 2000s while, surprisingly, the proportion of studies quantifying the impact of conservation interventions has steadily and significantly decreased in recent years. The effectiveness of 31% of conservation interventions has been tested statistically. We further highlight that 64% of the reported research occurred in the Palearctic and Nearctic biogeographic regions. Assessments of the effectiveness of conservation interventions were heavily biased towards indirect measures (monitoring and risk assessment), a limited sample of organisms (mostly arthropods and bats), and more accessible systems (terrestrial caves). Our results indicate that most conservation science in the field of subterranean biology does not apply a rigorous quantitative approach, resulting in sparse evidence for the effectiveness of interventions. This raises the important question of how to make conservation efforts more feasible to implement, cost-effective, and long-lasting. Although there is no single remedy, we propose a suite of potential solutions to focus our efforts better towards increasing statistical testing and stress the importance of standardising study reporting to facilitate metaanalytical exercises. We also provide a database summarising the available literature, which will help to build quantitative knowledge about interventions likely to yield the greatest impacts depending upon the subterranean species and habitats of interest. We view this as a starting point to shift away from the widespread tendency of recommending conservation interventions based on anecdotal and expert-based information rather than scientific evidence, without quantitatively testing their effectiveness.
