| Sumario: |
This study reports a new record for Tylomys panamensis, increasing its range by 121 km, 66º NW from the original endemic distribution. It has been considered as Data
Deficient by IUCN as no information has been published for almost 64 years. Based on our long term surveillance at the Darien’s canopy, using Orion Camera System
(OCS), we have been able to obtain information about their circadian and monthly activity over the course of one year. The presence of T. panamensis remarks the
importance of the largest National Park of the Mesoamerican region and claim urgency to be protected from its actual devastation, particularly the montane forest in the rest of the provinces of Darien and Panama.
El estudio informa un nuevo avistamiento para Tylomys panamensis, incrementando su rango a 121 km, 66º NW de su distribución original. Esta especie ha sido considerada como Data Deficiente por UICN dado que no habría información publicada por casi 64 años. Basados en nuestra vigilancia de dosel en Darién a largo plazo utilizando el Sistema de Cámaras Orión (SCO), hemos podido obtener información de su actividad circadiana y actividad mensual por espacio de un año. La presencia de T. panamensis confirma la importancia del mayor Parque Nacional de la región Mesoamericana clamando con urgencia a ser protegido de su actual devastación, y en particular los bosques montañosos del resto de las provincias de
Darién y Panamá. |
