Abstract

I2D-BIO_2022_143. The aim of this study was to provide preliminary information about the movement patterns of mammals and bird species present in urban areas of Valle de Aburrá, Antioquia, Colombia using GPS/GSM  and GPS/iridium telemetry. This data set currently includes 288.854 geographic coordinates obtained from 82 individuals belonging to 19 species (Bird: Milvago chimachima, Phimosus infuscatus, Bubulcus ibis, Ortalis columbiana, Ardea alba, Asio clamator,  Chamaepetes goudotii, Ciccaba albitarsis, Coragyps atratus, Nycticorax nycticorax, Phalacrocorax brasilianus; Mammals: Cerdocyon thous, Syntheosciurus granatensis, Didelphis marsupialis, Puma concolor,  Choloepus hoffmanni, Dasyprocta punctata, Leopardus tigrinus, Saguinus leucopus). The first coordinate was taken on October 11, 2022 and the last on April 12, 2024.

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation, Telemetry, GPS/GSM, GPS/Iridium, urban biodiversity, birds, mammals

General description

Purpose: Carry out tracking and monitoring of wildlife in the metropolitan territory of Valle de Aburrá, to learn about aspects of its movement ecology .

Project details

Project title: Rastreo, seguimiento y monitoreo de la fauna silvestre en el territorio metropolitano del Valle de Aburrá
Personnel: Adriana Restrepo, Victor Manuel Vélez-Bedoya
Funding: Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá
Study area descriptions/descriptor: The Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá It is made up of ten municipalities of Antioquia department: Girardota, Barbosa, Copacabana, Bello, Medellín, Envigado, Itaguí, Sabaneta, La Estrella y Caldas. It is the second largest urban conglomerate in Colombia and is located in the Andean region at an average altitude of 1538 meters above sea level.
Design description: In the study, 82 individuals belonging to some species of birds and mammals with different movement capacities and habitat requirements will be captured. Each individual will be fitted with a GPS/GSM or GPS/Iridium device, depending on the species, and will be monitored for the life of the device.
