4. Increasing the size and coverage of protected areas will not be enough for effective biodiversity conservation.

Author

Pacheco, Luis F., Méndez de la Cruz, Fausto R., Buchori, Damayanti, and Salazar-Bravo, Jorge

Subjects
PROTECTED areas, ECONOMIC expansion
Abstract

KEY POLICY INSIGHTS: Socio-economic issues must be addressed simultaneously to agree in theoretical issues for the management of extant and new protected areas. An increase in the area covered by protected areas does not guarantee biodiversity conservation. The global development model, based on economic growth, is the major impediment to biodiversity conservation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. The Quintessential Naturalist: Honoring the Life and Legacy of Oliver P. Pearson

Author

Kelt, Douglas A, Lessa, Enrique P., Salazar-Bravo, Jorge, and Patton, James L.

Abstract

Oliver P. Pearson's studies on mammalian biology remain standard reading for ecologists, physiologists, taxonomists, and biogeographers. Reflecting this, the papers gathered here continue to expand our understanding of the ecology and evolution of subterranean mammals, and of the ecology, taxonomy, and biogeography of Neotropical mammals, a group that was central to the latter half of Pearson's career.

The Ecology and Evolutionary History of an Emergent Disease: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome : Evidence from two El Niño episodes in the American Southwest suggests that El Niño–driven precipitation, the initial catalyst of a trophic cascade that results in a delayed density-dependent rodent response, is sufficient to predict heightened risk for human contraction of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome

Abstract

We review the taxonomic identities of museum specimens of three bat species previously reported from Bolivia. We comment on some erroneously reported taxa, or taxa either not represented by voucher materials or based on insufficient data (including acoustic detections) to verify their taxonomic affinities. As result of this review, the list of bat species known to occur in Bolivia is updated to eight families and 133 species, unlike the nine families and 146 species of previous lists. Some recommendations for future research and a brief historical revision of bat inventories in the country are included.

Abstract

Aim: Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography and conservation. Expert range maps often represent a species' only available distributional information and play an increasing role in conservation assessments and macroecology. We provide global range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal species harmonised to the taxonomy of the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) mobilised from two sources, the Handbook of the Mammals of the World (HMW) and the Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of the World (CMW). Location: Global. Taxon: All extant mammal species. Methods: Range maps were digitally interpreted, georeferenced, error-checked and subsequently taxonomically aligned between the HMW (6253 species), the CMW (6431 species) and the MDD taxonomies (6362 species). Results: Range maps can be evaluated and visualised in an online map browser at Map of Life (mol.org) and accessed for individual or batch download for non-commercial use. Main conclusion: Expert maps of species' global distributions are limited in their spatial detail and temporal specificity, but form a useful basis for broad-scale characterizations and model-based integration with other data. We provide georeferenced range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal species as shapefiles, with species-level metadata and source information packaged together in geodatabase format. Across the three taxonomic sources our maps entail, there are 1784 taxonomic name differences compared to the maps currently available on the IUCN Red List website. The expert maps provided here are harmonised to the MDD taxonomic authority and linked to a community of online tools that will enable transparent future updates and version control.

Abstract

The small vesper mouse (Calomys laucha (Fischer, 1814)) (Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) ranges widely in Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia. The species is the reservoir of the Laguna Negra hantavirus (LNV) in Paraguay but not in Argentina, where it is one of the most abundant rodents in agro-pastoral ecosystems. To answer the question if the nominal species C. laucha constitutes a single genetic unit or if it presents genetic discontinuities that may relate to hosting LNV, we sequenced the cytochrome b (cyt b) gene of specimens from throughout the range of the distribution of the species. Phylogenetic analyses revealed two well-supported clades. Twenty-two sequences from Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia grouped in clade A, but three sequences from Uruguay and Brazil clustered in a quite divergent clade B. The genetic distance between the two groups is 5.75%. No significant differences between Argentinean, Paraguayan, and Bolivian specimens assigned to C. laucha were detected. The restricted distribution of LNV associated to C. laucha in central Paraguay could be explained by a 'natural nidality' phenomenon. Key words: Calomys laucha, Laguna Negra hantavirus, cytochrome b, South American rodents, cryptic species. La petite souris vesperale (Calomys laucha (Fischer, 1814)) (Cricetides : Sigmodontines) est largement repartie au Bresil, en Uruguay et en Bolivie. L'espece est le reservoir du hantavirus de la Laguna Negra (VLN) au Paraguay, mais non en Argentine, ou elle est l'un des rongeurs les plus abondants dans les ecosystemes agropastoraux. Afin de determiner si l'espece nominale C. laucha constitue une seule unite genetique ou si elle presente des discontinuites genetiques qui seraient reliees au fait qu'elle soit ou non hote du VLN, nous avons sequence le gene du cytochrome b (cyt b) de specimens provenant de toute l'aire de repartition de l'espece. Des analyses phylogenetiques ont revele la presence bien supportee de deux clades. Vingt-deux sequences d'Argentine, du Paraguay et de la Bolivie formaient le clade A, alors que trois sequences de l'Uruguay et du Bresil constituaient un clade B tres divergent. La distance genetique entre les deux groupes est de 5,75 %. Aucune difference significative entre les specimens argentins, paraguayens et boliviens affectes a C. laucha n'a ete detectee. La repartition limitee du VLN associe a C. laucha dans le centre du Paraguay pourrait s'expliquer par un phenomene de << focalite naturelle >>.

Abstract

Within the ecosystems, the balance is important since the populations maintain their size and the food habits that are constant over time; in contrast, the disappearance of natural sources or the alteration of habitat at different levels can cause major changes in the very structure of the ecosystem. Alterations in the habitats produced by human activity result in global warming, climatic changes, which together with globalization, increased trade, the shortening of distances thanks to transport, the increase in population and the socioeconomic activities of human cause imbalances. In many cases the vectors and hosts have adapted to the changes and have risen to higher latitudes and altitudes, which could contribute to the appearance of outbreaks or new outbreaks of new arboviruses of public health importance. Different cohabiting species can be reservoirs or vectors of arboviruses such as alphaviruses and flaviviruses. Currently, some viruses transmitted by mosquito vectors, such as dengue virus, Zika virus, and chikungunya virus, have caused epidemic outbreaks with important effects on human populations. It is possible that the expansion of vectors and their diseases reaches developed countries such as the United States and the European Union with a great impact on public health. The clinical signs of the diseases produced by arboviruses can vary from nonspecific febrile syndrome, encephalitis, hemorrhagic fever, and even death. Vectors and reservoirs in some cases are insects, such as mosquitoes and ticks; wild birds are reservoirs for the West Nile virus, small wild mammals such as rodents, bats, and domestic animals involved in food production can potentially harbor arboviruses, and the ecoepidemiological role of these is unknown.
