Biodiversidad de las Cordilleras del Cóndor y Kutukú: Una revisión bibliográfica de su estado de conocimiento

Abstract

Abstract: The mountain ranges of El Condor and Kutuku are considered high important areas because of their biodiversity levels, pristineness and location. These areas have been increasingly interesting for national and international researchers. It was known about an important group of studies conducted in these zones; however, there was not an accurate sistematization of these research processes; so that, in order to strengthen the work in this place, a methodology process was structured for gathering, sistematization and analysis of the current information about the biodiversity of these two mountain ranges. It was developed a data base of these researches, registering a total of 101 works, 34 about plants, 28 about amphibians, 11 of mammals, 10 of birds, 9 of insects, 4 of herpetofauna, 2 of reptiles, of education and one of fish. The period when there were more researches is the decade of 2010. The Condor Mountain Range is the area with most of the publications about (n:86) While the Kutuku Mountain Range has a shorter number of publications (n:14). Additionally, it was registered only one work that covers both areas. This information constitutes the first approach in order to stablish what the level of achieved investigation is, about the biodiversity in these singular and fragile zones. This will help to be more efficient at planning in future investigations as well as at management process and conservation of the site.
