This virtual exhibition presents for the first time the complementarity of the astronomical and biocultural research conducted at the extreme ends of Chile. The world’s clearest skies above the Atacama Desert and the planet’s cleanest waters and ecosystems in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (CHBR) offer unique opportunities for exploring the cosmos, from supernovae and constellations to tiny organisms. The examination of biophysical dimensions discloses surprising similarities between structures and patterns of galaxies and rocks, rivers, and organisms, including humans on Earth. This research invites us to appreciate the beauty of the cosmos and ponder our life habits in order to foster responsible ways of coexisting with diverse human and other-than-human inhabitants.

Since the mid‐20th century, the so‐called Great Acceleration (sensu Steffen et al., 2007, https://doi.org/10.1579/0044-7447(2007)36[614:TAAHNO]2.0.CO;2) has amplified processes of ecosystem degradation, extinction of biological species, displacement of local peoples, losses of languages, and cultural diversity. These losses are still underperceived by the academic community, and by a global society that is disconnected from biocultural diversity. To reconnect society with biocultural diversity, we integrate temporal and spatial dimensions of seasonal cycles, by combining two conceptual frameworks: ecological calendars and the "3Hs" model of the biocultural ethic (sensu Rozzi, 2012, https://doi.org/10.5840/enviroethics20123414). The latter values the vital links between human and other‐than‐human co‐inhabitants, their life habits (e.g., cultural practices of humans or life cycles of other‐than‐human species), and the structure and processes of their shared habitats. This integration enhances an understanding of links between cultural practices and the life cycles of biocultural keystone species. As a synthesis, we use the term biocultural calendars to emphasize their co‐constitutive nature that result from interactions between dynamic biophysical and cultural processes embedded in specific ecosystems and cultures. These calendars link astronomical, biological, and cultural seasonal cycles that sustain life and enhance the integration of Indigenous and scientific knowledge to confront challenges of climate change faced from local to global scales. To illustrate this integration, we examine cultural practices and socio‐environmental changes across four contrasting ethnolinguistic communities in southwestern South America, from southern to northern Chile along a marked climatic gradient to show the broad application of the concept of biocultural calendars. Plain Language Summary: We combine ecological calendars and the biocultural ethic. The first refers to natural or seasonal calendars and focuses on the temporal scale of life cycles and other ecological phenomena observed at a given place. The second emphasizes the vital links among human and non‐human co‐inhabitants, their habits (e.g., cultural practices of humans or life cycles of other‐than‐human species) in shared habitats (the "3Hs" of the biocultural ethic). Close observation of biological and cultural diversity, and their interrelationships (in short, biocultural diversity), synchronizes cultural practices with natural processes at specific places. This synchrony is particularly relevant in the context of climate change because by being locally attuned, communities enhance their capacity to adapt their activities to the variability of temperature, rainfall, and other climatic events. In this article we use the term biocultural calendars to more closely understand the links between different life habits in contrasting habitats and annual seasons. In this way, biocultural calendars provide an understanding of biological and cultural heterogeneity in different seasons and regions of the world that can help us adapt to a rapidly changing world. Key Points: Biocultural calendars are co‐constitutively generated through interactions between dynamic biophysical and cultural processesThe biocultural ethic's 3Hs model values the vital links among human and other‐than‐human co‐inhabitants, their habits, and shared habitatsBiocultural calendars are based on seasonal cycles of keystone species that are part of communities of co‐inhabitants [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile, has been identified as a hotspot of bryophyte diversity and it has been suggested to be the same for lichens. However, in contrast to the extensive bryophyte studies, only preliminary lichen inventories had been conducted in this reserve. We conducted the first intensive study on the diversity of lichens on Navarino Island during the southern summers of 2005 and 2008. We explored the main habitat types of the island, including coastal areas, evergreen and deciduous forests, Magellanic tundra, and high Andean ('alpine') habitats on the mountain summits. The following substrates on which lichens grow were considered: bark, wood (incl. logs, stumps), soil, mosses, and rocks. We recorded a total of 416 taxa, although some of them not identified to species level. A main result is the finding of two species that are proposed as new: The lichen Candelariella magellanica, and the saprobic fungus Sclerococcum nothofagi that grows on the bark of trees of the genus Nothofagus. In addition, one species of lichenicolous fungus is recorded for the first time on Navarino Island: Tremella haematommatis. These results provide additional evidence about the great diversity of lichens that are conserved in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve.

Resumen: La Reserva de la Biosfera Cabo de Hornos (RBCH) es la más grande de Chile e integra ecosistemas marinos y terrestres, e incluye tres parques nacionales (PN): PN Cabo de Hornos, PN Alberto de Agostini y PN Yendegaia. Se encuentra inmersa dentro de la ecorregión subantártica de Magallanes, que ha sido identificada como una de últimas áreas prístinas del planeta. Sin embargo, no se encuentra libre de amenazas locales y globales, tales como las especies exóticas invasoras, el cambio climático, el turismo masivo y otras actividades económicas que no valoran su diversidad biológica y cultural. Para contribuir a la valoración de la diversidad biocultural, el Parque Omora (isla Navarino, 55°S), ha desarrollado la Filosofía Ambiental de Campo (FILAC), una aproximación metodológica que integra las ciencias ecológicas, las artes y la ética ambiental a través de cuatro pasos interrelacionados: 1) investigación interdisciplinaria, 2) comunicación poética a través de la composición de metáforas y relatos simples, 3) diseño de actividades de campo guiadas con un sentido ético y ecológico y 4) conservación in situ; para contribuir a la conservación biocultural. Presentamos los métodos y resultados de un trabajo multidisciplinario enfocado en los invertebrados y ecosistemas dulceacuícolas de la RBCH, con el fin de: a) contribuir a entender mejor las posibles respuestas al cambio climático por parte de insectos acuáticos en el largo plazo, y b) generar herramientas de investigación y educación que contribuyan a valorar ecológica y éticamente a los invertebrados acuáticos. Las bases conceptuales se fundan en la ética de la tierra de Aldo Leopold y en la ética biocultural de Ricardo Rozzi. A través de la práctica de la FILAC proponemos actividades concretas para la conservación del patrimonio natural y cultural. La valoración ética de los insectos puede contribuir a generar percepciones positivas e incentivar acciones de conservación por parte de la comunidad local, regional, nacional e internacional. Finalmente, exploramos nuevas metodologías de investigación y observación que contemplan el respeto y valoración de la vida de los invertebrados. La FILAC aporta así una metodología que contribuye a transformar la forma prevaleciente en que la sociedad global comprende, valora y se relaciona con los ecosistemas dulceacuícolas y sus co-habitantes y fomenta hábitos de vida más respetuosos y sustentables en el corto y largo plazo.

Abstract: The Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (CHBR), is the largest one in Chile, and the only one that integrates marine and terrestrial ecosystems. It includes three national parks (NP): Cape Horn NP, Alberto de Agostini NP, and Yendegaia NP. The CHBR, is immersed within the Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion, which has been identified as one of the last pristine areas left in the world. Nonetheless, it is not free from local and global threats, such as invasive exotic species, climate change, massive tourism and other economic activities that do not value biological and cultural diversity. To contribute towards an appreciation of the values of biocultural diversity, the scientific team at Omora Park (Navarino Island, 55°S), has developed the Field Environmental Philosophy (FEP) methodological approach, which integrates ecological sciences, arts, and environmental ethics through four interrelated steps: 1) interdisciplinary research, 2) poetic communication through the composition of metaphors, 3) design of field activities with an ethical and ecological orientation, and 4) in situ conservation, to contribute to biocultural conservation. We present the methods and results of a multidisciplinary work focused on invertebrates and freshwater ecosystems of the CHBR, with the aim to contribute: a) to a better understanding of the possible responses of aquatic insects to climate change in the long-term, and b) generate tools for research and education to ecologically and ethically value freshwater invertebrates and ecosystems. The conceptual foundations are based on the Land Ethics of Aldo Leopold, and the biocultural ethics of Ricardo Rozzi. Through the praxis of the FEP we generate concrete actions for the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage. Finally, we propose new research methodologies that include valuing of the invertebrates’ lives. FEP provides a methodology that contributes towards the transformation of the prevalent way in which global society understands, values and relates to freshwater ecosystems and their co-inhabitants, fostering more respectful and sustainable life habits in the short and long term.

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:09:42Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-06-01 Few details are available on the migration (rates, routes, dates) of Neotropical austral migrant birds, which breed and migrate wholly within South America. Only one long-distance austral migrant breeds in the South American temperate forest biome: the Whitecrested Elaenia (Elaenia albiceps chilensis). However, the migratory dates, routes, and wintering locations are poorly known. During the austral summers of 2011-2013, we attached light level geolocators to breeding White-crested Elaenias at the world's southernmost forests, on Navarino Island, Chile. The duration of fall migration of three Elaenias to the Amazonian wintering grounds was 64-96 days, while spring migration was 45-60 days. The average distance between breeding and wintering grounds was 5,932 km, which constitutes the longest migration of a Neotropical austral migrant studied to date. A better understanding of the annual cycle of Elaenias could offer new opportunities to examine the evolution of migration and population regulation of one of Patagonia's most common birds.

El cambio climático global no tiene consecuencias ni causas homogéneas en las diversas regiones del planeta, y sus consecuencias no son sólo ecológicas, sino también económicas, políticas y éticas. En este contexto global, la ecorregión subantártica de Magallanes y la dimensión ética representan dos aspectos que requieren mayor consideración por la comunidad científica. La primera posee singularidades biológicas y culturales que contrastan con zonas subpolares del Hemisferio Norte y deben ser examinadas con mayor atención respecto a su valor para confrontar los desafíos del cambio global ambiental. La segunda requiere un examen detallado por al menos dos razones: a) las causas últimas del cambio climático global radican en un modo de relación establecido por la sociedad industrial con el mundo natural, que se ha globalizado y radicalizado a partir de mediados del siglo XX; b) la pregunta de cómo debemos actuar frente al cambio medioambiental global involucra decisiones éticas. En este marco de singularidades el "Coloquio Internacional de Cambio Climático en la Región de Magallanes y Antártica: Evidencia y Desafíos para el Futuro" organizado por la Universidad de Magallanes (UMAG) y el Instituto Antártico Chileno, en octubre 2009, abre nuevas oportunidades para la investigación socio-ecológica a largo plazo y el monitoreo del cambio ambiental global a escala planetaria. Con el fin de contribuir a la consolidación de estas iniciativas presentamos concisamente los atributos de la ecorregión subantártica de Magallanes y del programa de Conservación Biocultural Subantártica, coordinado por UMAG, el Instituto de Ecología y Biodiversidad y la Universidad de North Texas, que integra dimensiones ecológicas y éticas en los análisis de procesos socio-ecológicos a escalas locales, regionales, nacionales e internacionales. The consequences and causes of global climate change are not homogeneous in the diverse regions of the planet, and its impacts are not only ecological, but also economic, political, and ethical. In this context, the sub-Antarctic Magellanic ecoregion and the ethical dimensions represent two aspects that require more attention from the scientific community. The frst has biological and cultural singularities that contrast with subpolar regions of the Northern Hemisphere, and need to be given greater consideration to effectively confront the challenges of global environmental change. The second requires more in depth studies for at least two reasons: a) the ultimate causes of global climate change derive from the type of relationship established by industrial society with the natural world, a type of relationship that has become increasingly prevailing since the mid-20th century; b) the question about we should act in the face of global change involves ethical questions. In this context, the International Colloquium on Global Climate Change in the Region of Magallanes and Antarctica: Evidences and Future Challenges, organized by the University of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Institute in October 2009, opens new opportunities for long-term socio-ecological research and monitoring of global environmental change at a planetary scale. To contribute to the consolidation n of these initiatives we concisely present the main attributes of Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion, and of the Sub-Antarctic Biocultural Conservation Pro-gram coordinated by UMAG, the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity and the University of North Texas, which integrates ecological and ethical dimensions in the analyses of socio-ecological processes at local, regional, national, and international scales.

- Abstract
To contribute to achieving local and global sustainability, we propose a novel educational methodology, called field environmental philosophy (FEP), which orients ecotourism practices to reconnect citizens and nature. FEP is based on the systemic approach of the biocultural ethic that values the vital links among the life habits of co-inhabitants (humans and other-than-humans) who share a common habitat. Based on this "3Hs" model (habitats, co-inhabitants, habits), FEP combines tourism with experiential education to reorient biocultural homogenization toward biocultural conservation. FEP's methodological approach seeks to integrate social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability by generating new links between biological and cultural diversity at different spatial and social scales. Ecotourism has an underutilized potential to link sciences with education and conservation practices at different scales. By incorporating a philosophical foundation, FEP broadens both understanding and practices of environmental education and sustainable tourism. FEP has been developed at the Omora Ethnobotanical Park in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile, at the southern end of the Americas since 2000, where it has oriented transdisciplinary work for the creation of new protected areas and ecotourism practices. FEP enables an integration of biophysical, cultural, and institutional dimensions into the design of ecotourism activities that transform and broaden the perceptions of tourists, local guides, students, and other participants to better appreciate local biological and cultural diversity. FEP's methodology is starting to be adapted in other world regions, such as Germany, Japan, and Mexico, to integrate education and ecotourism for sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
