Conservation status of the angiosperm species of the Antioquia paramos

Conservation status of the angiosperm species of the Antioquia paramos

The current need to preserve the diversity in the ecosystems of paramo given the multiple threats that affect them, requires a fast recognition of the most vulnerable species. We applied two methodologies for the rapid evaluation of the risk condition of Angiosperm species distributed in six paramo complexes of Antioquia. Both methods use information associated with herbarium collections to obtain a rapid assessment of species at risk. With the first methodology based on the estimation of the extension of presence (EOO), we found 110 species with potential risk of extinction, distributed in 29 families and 57 genera. With the second methodology based on year of collection, geographical data, and number of collections, we found 192 species “at risk” corresponding to 42 families and 100 genera. The results present here can be useful for the identification of priority areas and the orientation of the efforts of conservation towards those areas and the most vulnerable species.

La necesidad actual de conservar la diversidad en los ecosistemas de páramo frente a las múltiples amenazas que los afectan requiere un rápido reconocimiento de las especies más vulnerables. En este estudio se aplican dos metodologías para la evaluación rápida del estado de riesgo de especies de Angiospermas distribuidas en los seis complejos de páramo de Antioquia, denominados el método de NY y el método de US. Ambos métodos usan datos asociados a colecciones de herbario para estimar de forma preliminar el estado de riesgo de las especies. Con la primera metodología basada en el cálculo de la extensión de presencia (EOO), se encontraron 110 especies potencialmente en riesgo, distribuidas en 29 familias y 57 géneros. Con la segunda metodología basada en datos de año/fecha de colección, geográficos y de número de colecciones, se encontraron 192 especies “en riesgo” correspondientes a 42 familias y 100 géneros. Los resultados obtenidos pueden ser de utilidad en la identificación de áreas prioritarias y la orientación de esfuerzos de conservación hacia las áreas y las especies más vulnerables.
