Human activity and climate change as determinants of spatial prioritization for the conservation of globally threatened birds in the southern Neotropic (Santa Fe, Argentina)

摘要: Conservation area networks (CAN) must overlap spatial patterns of conservation priorities in order to ensure their persistence. Threatened species are among the least controversial biodiversity features taken into account guide policies. Due growing human pressure and climate change worldwide, chances planning an effective CAN may be reduced. Santa Fe province is located center-east Argentina encompasses four bioregions highly threatened subtropical temperate South America. Intensive agriculture, livestock hunting have led loss degradation its natural habitats current fails on coverage bioregions. Our aim was find out areas that enhance persistence bird province. We defined environmentally suitable over time overcome likely impacts activity. (top 20%) belonged mainly Dry Chaco Atlantic will remain same The mismatches environmental suitability species. Sporophila hypochroma, Asthenes hudsoni Spartonoica maluroides lose more than half future. Human activity lead a which require great number patches large perimeter. Searching for most while minimizing conflicts with activities useful strategy regardless biogeographical context considered.
