Outdoor recreational activities are widely regarded as significant threats to both migratory and resident waterbirds, many of which experiencing population declines. Emerging water sports like kitesurfing have the potential disturb yet limited information is currently available on their impacts. In order help address this knowledge gap, we evaluated whether a relationship exists between activity changes in waterbird abundance over time Laguna Garzon, Uruguay. Generalized linear models were...
Abstract Areas used for livestock production and dominated by native grasses represent a unique opportunity to reconcile biodiversity conservation production. However, limited knowledge of individual species’ responses rangeland management restricts our capacity design grazing practices that favor endangered species other priority birds. In this work, we applied Hierarchical Modelling Species Communities (HMSC) study responses, as well the influence traits on such variables related using...
Abstract Occupancy models represent a useful tool to estimate species distribution throughout the landscape. Among them, MacKenzie et al.’s model (2002, MC), is frequently used infer environmental responses. However, assumption that detection probability homogeneous or fully explained by covariates may limit its performance. Species should be more easily observed at sites with higher number of individuals. We simulated data following occupancy (RN) accounts for abundance‐driven heterogeneous...
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, like the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence-based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. Over 50% monitored shorebird populations have lost over their abundance since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership scientists practitioners called Shorebird Science Conservation Collective (hereinafter “the Collective”). Here, present this successful case study as an example for others...
ABSTRACT Population abundance and trend estimates are crucial to science, management, conservation. Shorebirds, which abundant in many coastal habitats play important roles ecosystems, facing some of the most dramatic population declines any group birds globally. However, accurate up-to-date lacking for shorebird species. We thus conducted comprehensive, simultaneous, community scientist-led surveys entire Atlantic Coast southern South America — stretching from central Brazil Tierra del...
In the natural grasslands of Río de la Plata, where livestock production can coexist with biodiversity, effective pasture management practices play a critical role. This study combines two approaches to shed light on relationship between and bird species. The first analyzes birds' responses various variables influenced by management. Field data were collected 69 species analyzed across 454 paddocks 46 properties in eastern region Uruguay. We found that artificial had negative impact many...
Presentamos una evaluación del impacto cambio de hábitat causado por el humano sobre la abundancia aves playeras neárticas en Bahía Asunción, Paraguay. Censos regulares desde año 2000 mostraron que área estudio es un importante sitio parada para las migratorias utilizan Ruta Migratoria "Mid-Continental" y llevó a su designación como Importancia Regional Red Hemisférica Reservas Aves Playeras protegida nacional debido alberga más 1% población mundial playerito canela (Calidris subruficollis)....
Olive production has increased in recent years Uruguay. In the south-eastern region, where oceanic influence leads to humid climatic conditions, some pests associated with foliar and fruit damage are not well known. Blacklight traps, a portable vacuum aspirator observation of olive shoots were employed for survey adults larvae Lepidoptera mites an orchard from November 2016 April 2017, Rocha, Lepidopterous December March, while reached maximum February. Larvae abundance was higher on cv...

In recent decades, greenhouse crops relevance increased due to the high demand for products outside their growing season, with tomato standing out as one of most cultivated crops. these production systems, insects and mites find optimal conditions development, achieving populations that affect Farmers usually control using chemical insecticides, which health workers consumers have negative effects on environment. Tomato suffer damage by lepidopterans hemipterans, among those known whiteflies...
