Resumen
El presente trabajo se llevó a cabo en el área que comprende el propuesto Parque Nacional Santa Fe de Veraguas, Panamá; en dos periodos que abarcaron la época seca entre enero y abril de 1997, así como la época lluviosa entre agosto y noviembre de 1997. Los objetivos fueron: determinar la diversidad actual del área, complementándola con los inventarios previos realizados, determinar la abundancia relativa y la distribución de la avifauna por tipo de hábitat y sitio de muestreo, establecer el grado de endemismo regional (Costa Rica- Panamá Occidental) de la avifauna según los criterios establecidos en el Programa Áreas Importantes para Aves en Panamá y determinar la problemática actual de las aves de la zona para generar posibles perspectivas de manejo que garanticen su conservación. Se seleccionaron seis sitios de muestreo y se caracterizaron sus diferentes tipos de hábitat. Para los diferentes tipos de hábitat determinados se llevaron a cabo muestreos de transectos en franjas sin bandas definidas con puntos fijos de muestreo, sin radio definido y de manera complementaria, para los hábitat con estados sucesionales avanzados (bosque primario, secundario, arbustal), se desarrollaron muestreos con redes de niebla. Con un esfuerzo de muestreo de 351 horas de observación y 74 hr-red de trabajo, se registraron 245 especies de aves de las cuales 221 son residentes (24 son especies migratorias norteñas, 11 son migratorias altitudinales y dos migran a Sudamérica). Adicionalmente se determinó que 54 especies se encuentran amenazadas y 17 especies son endémicas regionales con hábitat restringido a las tierras altas de Costa Rica y Panamá Occidental. La avifauna registrada posee mayor preferencia por áreas con estados sucesionales avanzados, en donde se concentran también la mayor proporción de las especies amenazadas por factores como la caza deportiva y de subsistencia, destrucción de su hábitat y la contaminación. Considerando estos factores, se establecen recomendaciones para la protección, conservación, manejo y aprovechamiento sostenido de los recursos presentes en el área. De acuerdo con estas recomendaciones y por poseer el área una gran riqueza biológica, ecosistemas representativos en estado natural, la protección de la cuenca más importante de las provincias centrales del país, potencial ecoturístico, desarrollo de investigaciones científicas y educación ambiental; se recomienda como Parque Nacional la categoría de manejo que debe poseer el área.
The present work was carried out in the area that includes the proposed Santa Fe de Veraguas National Park, Panama; in two periods that included the dry season between January and April 1997, as well as the rainy season between August and November 1997. The objectives were: to determine the current diversity of the area, complementing it with the previous inventories carried out, to determine the relative abundance and the distribution of the avifauna by type of habitat and sampling site, establish the degree of regional endemism (Costa Rica-Western Panama) of the avifauna according to the criteria established in the Program Important Areas for Birds in Panama and determine the current problem of the birds in the area to generate possible management perspectives that guarantee their conservation. Six sampling sites were selected and their different habitat types were characterized. For the different types of habitats determined, transect samplings were carried out in strips without defined bands with fixed sampling points, without a defined radius and in a complementary manner, for habitats with advanced successional states (primary, secondary, shrub forest). developed surveys with mist nets. With a sampling effort of 351 hours of observation and 74 hr-working network, 245 species of birds were recorded, of which 221 are residents (24 are northern migratory species, 11 are altitude migratory and two migrate to South America). Additionally, it was determined that 54 species are threatened and 17 species are regional endemics with habitat restricted to the highlands of Costa Rica and Western Panama. Registered birds have a greater preference for areas with advanced successional states, where the largest proportion of species threatened by factors such as sport and subsistence hunting, habitat destruction and pollution are also concentrated. Considering these factors, recommendations are established for the protection, conservation, management and sustained use of the resources present in the area. In accordance with these recommendations and because the area has a great biological wealth, representative ecosystems in a natural state, the protection of the most important basin of the central provinces of the country, ecotourism potential, development of scientific research and environmental education; The management category that the area should have is recommended as a National Park.
