We analyzed the spatial distribution of the narrow-range and threatened reptiles from the Pampas grassland, a region with high human influence in east-central Argentina. We used field-collected and museum specimens combined with high-resolution environmental variables to recognize common distributional patterns and the variables that best explain them, estimate the suitable habitat for each species, identify conservation priority areas, and finally propose management and conservation priorities related to the current protected areas. Distribution models diverged into two distributional patterns for the narrow-range species: suitable habitat for most species in highland grasslands of the montane environment, and suitable habitat for Liolaemus multimaculatus in the grassland of the coastal dunes. Growing degree-days was the most informative environmental variable for constructing the distribution models, followed by annual potential evapotranspiration, and temperature seasonality. We proposed priority areas on the basis of two different conservation algorithms: the additive benefit function, which favors the montane and sandy environments, prioritizing areas with high richness of narrow-range species, and the core-area zonation, which prioritizes the occurrence of all biodiversity features, further indicating fragmented areas in the surroundings with low human influence index, but lacking the studied species. Regardless of the algorithm used, our results showed that the existing protected areas in the region are inadequate to protect the narrow-range reptiles. Protecting at least 5% of the priority areas with higher conservation values and considering the cost of the human influence index, the protected areas represented only 12.75% of these priority areas. Therefore, we identified the main management strategies to increase the representativeness of priority areas. Our findings are largely consistent with previous reports in the Neotropical region, highlighting the need to assign a larger area for conservation purposes. Resumen. Analizamos la distribución espacial de los reptiles amenazados y de distribución reducida del pastizal Pampeano, una región con elevada influencia humana en el centro-este de la Argentina. Usamos ejemplares colectados en campo y de museos combinados con variables ambientales de alta resolución para reconocer patrones de distribución comunes y las variables que mejor los explican, estimar el hábitat adecuado para cada especie, identificar las áreas prioritarias de conservación y finalmente proporcionar una prioridad de conservación y manejo relacionada con las áreas protegidas actuales. Los modelos de distribución divergieron en dos patrones de distribución según las especies de distribución reducida: hábitat adecuado para la mayoría de las especies en los pastizales de altura del ambiente serrano, y hábitat adecuado para Liolaemus multimaculatus en los pastizales de las dunas costeras.

Capital breeders are animals that breed with the stored energy they have gathered prior to the reproductive event. The amount of energy stored by a given individual can be quantified using morphological measurements and estimating a condition index that can help study the reproductive biology of wild-caught animals. Several condition indices have been used to study the biology and natural history of snakes, with the residual of the log-transformed data being one of the most popular. Here, I develop a simple condition index that assumes that the animals do not change shape throughout life except for changes in condition. This condition with isometry assumption (CIA) is unbiased for all size classes and simple to calculate. With data of animals whose breeding condition was known, I determine a cutoff of 0.875. Animals with a higher condition had a high chance of breeding, while those with lower condition did not. This method correctly predicts the breeding status of 94% of the observations. Using the same data set, I tested the residuals of the log-transformed regression and found far worse results. The CIA was also able to predict breeding status in other snakes opportunistically found in the study. The fact that it is possible to reliably predict the breeding status of anacondas based on their condition confirms that anacondas are capital breeders.","PeriodicalId":48691,"journal":{"name":"South American Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49109506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
