“…We recommend the continuation of inventory and monitoring programs in Cerro Blanco and the expansion of these efforts to other localities in the Cordillera Chongón-Colonche, a highly biodiverse extra-Andean mountain range of low elevation that unfortunately faces intense human pressure (Amador & Martínez, 2011;Astudillo-Sánchez et al, 2020;BirdLife International, 2021;Ganzenmüller et al, 2010).…”

Basic diversity studies of small non-volant mammals are scarce in western Ecuador, evidencing a knowledge gap regarding the mammalian fauna in the region. These organisms play key roles in important ecological processes and may be affected by several anthropogenic factors. Herein we report the results of a rapid assessment of marsupials and rodents of Bosque Protector Cerro Blanco (Guayas province), a fragment of dry forest surrounded by urban development. Between October 2016 and March 2017, we trapped rodents and marsupials with Sherman and Tomahawk live traps; also, we conducted direct observations and searched for skeletal remains. We recorded nine species of small non-volant mammals, seven native and two invasive. The marsupial Marmosa simonsi was the most frequently captured species. We reported three previously unrecorded species for this reserve: Sigmodon peruanus, Aegialomys baroni, and Rhipidomys latimanus. We recommend continued monitoring of the mammalian fauna of Cerro Blanco using alternative techniques such as pitfall traps, canopy live traps, and analysis of owl pellets. These efforts will permit a better understanding of the marsupial and rodent assemblage in this important site for biodiversity conservation in coastal Ecuador, a region that unfortunately faces intense human pressure.

The dry forests of northern Peru, in the regions of Piura, Tumbes, Lambayeque, and La Libertad, have experienced significant changes as a result of deforestation and changes in land use, leading to the loss of biodiversity and resources. This work analyzed for the first time the changes in vegetation cover and land use of the Pómac Forest Historical Sanctuary (PFHS), located in the department of Lambayeque (northern Peru). The employed approach was the random forest algorithm and visually interpreted Landsat satellite images for the periods 2000–2002, 2002–2004, and 2004–2008. Gain and loss rates were computed for each period, and the recovery process was assessed using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI). Results indicate an expansion of agricultural land during each period, resulting in the deforestation of 102.6 hectares of dense dry forest and 739.9 hectares of open dry forest between 2000 and 2008. The degree of reforestation in the cleared areas was measured using the NDVI and EVI indices, revealing an improvement from 0.22 in NDVI in 2009 to 0.36 in 2022, and from 0.14 to 0.21 in EVI over the same period. This study is expected to pave the way for executing land management plans, as well as the use and conservation of natural resources in the PFHS in a sustainable manner.
