Abstract
Abstract In the late 1990s, a 63% decline of the mountain plover (Charadrius montanus) population warranted that effective monitoring be considered; since this decline, the Bureau of Land Management distinguished the mountain plover as a sensitive species. We conducted triennial single-observer transect surveys of mountain plovers in an effort to monitor their local population and further base land management decisions accordingly. Our results after four survey years indicate a stable occupancy of mountain plovers in South Park, Colorado, with an occupancy probability of 0.152. We recommend continued monitoring of mountain plover to constructively determine its status over time in its inevitably changing habitat. Resumen A finales de la década de 1990, una disminución del 63% del chorlito de la montaña (Charadrius montanus) justificó que se considerara un monitoreo eficaz. Desde esta disminución, el Bureau of Land Management clasificó al chorlito de la montaña como una especie susceptible. Hicimos muestreos de una sola persona trienalmente a través de transectos para el chorlito de la montaña en un esfuerzo para monitorear su población local y proveer una mejor base para el manejo de la tierra. Nuestros resultados después de cuatro años de muestreos indican una ocupación estable de chorlitos de la montaña en South Park, Colorado, con una probabilidad de ocupación de 0.152. Recomendamos continuar el monitoreo del chorlito de la montaña para determinar constructivamente su estatus en un hábitat inevitablemente cambiante en el futuro.
期刊介绍:
The Southwestern Naturalist (a publication of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists since 1953) is an international journal (published quarterly) that reports original and significant research in any field of natural history. This journal promotes the study of plants and animals (living and fossil) in the multinational region that includes the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Appropriate submission of manuscripts may come from studies conducted in the countries of focus or in regions outside this area that report significant findings relating to biota occurring in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Publication is in English, and manuscripts may be feature articles or notes. Feature articles communicate results of completed scientific investigations, while notes are reserved for short communications (e.g., behavioral observations, range extensions, and other important findings that do not in themselves constitute a comprehensive study). All manuscripts (feature articles and notes) require an abstract in both English and Spanish.
