Resumen
Esta tesis entrega antecedentes ecológicos generales sobre alimentación, reproducción y
conducta de aves acuáticas y ribereñas de ecosistemas dulceacuícolas, específicamente
de la Reserva Forestal Lago Peñuelas, ubicada en la comuna de Valparaíso, Región de
Valparaíso.
En el embalse, se realizaron muestreos los meses de noviembre y diciembre del 2007 y
en enero y febrero del 2008 para determinar la abundancia, diversidad y distribución de
las aves presentes.
Los resultados indican que en el embalse Peñuelas se registran total de 61 especies de
aves, de las cuales 27 de éstas son únicamente acuáticas y un total de 45 son de ribera,
de éstas 11 son acuáticas y 34 son terrestres. El grupo más representado e importante
numéricamente fue el de los Charadriiformes.
Considerando que los embalses son ecosistemas que pueden sustentar flora y fauna
silvestre, se enfatiza la importancia y necesidad de rescatar los embalses que se
encuentran en etapa de obsolescencia en los que, aplicando ciertas prácticas de manejo,
se pueden convertir en lugares de conservación y protección de flora y fauna silvestre.
De acuerdo al estudio realizado se entregan además recomendaciones orientadas a
aumentar la riqueza y abundancia de la avifauna en este tipo de ecosistemas, así
también se hacen propuestas para fomentar el ecoturismo como herramienta de
desarrollo sustentable en la Reserva.
This thesis provides general ecological information about the feeding, reproduction and behavioral habits of aquatic and riparian birds from fresh water ecosystems. Under study was the Peñuelas Lake Forest Reserve located in Valparaiso Region, Chile. A study of the dam was performed by the means of a survey conducted during the months of November, December 2007 and January, February 2008 with a special focus on abundance, diversity and distribution patterns of bird populations occurring in the dam. Results demonstrate a total of 61 bird species in which 27 were aquatic and 45 were riparian, of the riparian, 11 species corresponded to water ecosystems, while 34 were from terrestrial areas. The most abundant group at the Peñuelas dam was Charadriiformes. This study also advocates the need of preserving dam ecosystems through the implementation of sustainable management practices orientated towards the conservation of flora and fauna. According to the results obtained from the investigation, recommendations are presented in order to increase the value and abundance of bird populations in the dam ecosystem. Finally, future considerations are posited on how ecotourism can be the medium towards the achievement of sustainable development of the dam and its surrounding ecosystem.
