Objectives:
1- To create a database with biological and ecological information
of the reptile and amphibian species from the islands of the
Loreto Bay National Park.
2- To determine the distribution of the species within the study
area.
3- To generate distribution maps for the islands of the Loreto
Bay National Park.
4- To detect behavioral patterns of the species being studied
in relation to environmental parameters to be used in future
ecological proposals.
5- To evaluate population density, age structure, born rate,
mortality, sex proportion and reproductive patterns of endangered
reptiles.
6- To evaluate habitat quality of reptile species.
7- To evaluate Habitat and Population Viability (HPVA) by using
the Montecarlo Vortex simulation program of IUCN. |
A database with biological and ecological information of
the reptile and amphibian species from the islands of the
Loreto Bay National Park will be created.
The information will include the distribution of all reptile
and amphibian species of the study area, its behavioral patterns
in relation to environmental parameters, its population densities,
and age structure, born rate, mortality, sex proportions and
reproductive aspects of endangered reptiles.
Also, the quality of habitat will be evaluated, plus their
Population and Habitat Viability (PHVA) by means of the Montecarlo
Vortex simulation program of the IUCN.
