Abstract

The study of biodiversity is a fundamental step to develop conservation strategies. Reptile populations are immersed in a global crisis, due to anthropic disturbances. Almost the entire Pampa ecoregion in Argentina was modified for agricultural and livestock activities, the only remnants of mountain native grasslands in Buenos Aires province being the Tandilia and Ventania mountain systems. Ventania reptiles have been exhaustively researched in last years, while Tandilia counts with fewer studies. We presented an actualized reptiles list of the Tandilia Mountain System. We used five data sources to collect presence records: literature, fieldwork, museum collection, citizen science, and a online database. The composition of reptiles from the Tandilia Mountain range includes 26 species in 12 families. Due to the presence of several endemic reptiles, and the representativeness of more than half of the reptiles of Pampa Ecoregion, Tandilia would be useful to determine conservation priority areas to conserve the native grassland and their reptile fauna.

阿根廷坦迪利亚山脉高原草原爬行动物注释列表

生物多样性研究是制定保护战略的基本步骤。由于人类的干扰，爬行动物种群正沉浸在全球危机中。阿根廷几乎整个潘帕生态区都被改造用于农业和畜牧业活动，布宜诺斯艾利斯省唯一残留的山地草原是坦迪利亚和文塔尼亚山脉。Ventania爬行动物在过去几年里已经被详尽地研究过，而Tandilia的研究较少。我们提出了一个坦迪利亚山脉系统的爬行动物列表。我们使用了五个数据来源来收集存在记录：文献、实地调查、博物馆收藏、公民科学和在线数据库。坦迪利亚山脉爬行动物的组成包括12科26种。由于存在几种特有的爬行动物，以及潘帕生态区一半以上爬行动物的代表性，Tandilia将有助于确定保护优先区域，以保护当地草原及其爬行动物。
