Resumen
La pérdida de hábitat es uno de los procesos más graves que afectan la diversidad biológica. Los pastizales del sureste de América del sur son uno de los biomas más afectados por este proceso debido a diversos factores relacionados a las actividades humanas. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la pérdida de biodiversidad en la Reserva Natural Santa Catalina como un modelo para visualizar este proceso en las Pampas húmedas del sureste de América del Sur. Para ello se compararon los listados de especies que actualmente habitan la reserva con colecciones y trabajos publicados antes de 1970 para detectar qué componentes del ecosistema se han perdido. Se contabilizaron 27 especies de plantas y 12 especies de aves que se extinguieron de la localidad. Un 100 % de las plantas y un 83% de las aves son especies que crecen o habitan en pastizales nativos. Por otra parte, de entre estas, cinco especies de plantas y dos de aves se han extinto a nivel regional. La vulnerabilidad de los pastizales de la región queda evidenciada por estos valores, y se discuten algunos factores que pueden haber causado esta pérdida.
Habitat loss is one of the most serious processes that affect biological diversity. The grasslands of southeastern South America are one of the most affected biomes by this process due to various factors related to human activities. The objective of this work is to evaluate the loss of biodiversity in the Reserva Natural Santa Catalina as a model to visualize this process in the Pampas of southeastern South America. For this, the lists of species that currently inhabit the reserve were compared with collections and works published before 1970 to detect which ecosystem components were lost. 27 species of plants and 12 species of birds that became extinct from the locality were counted. 100% of the plants and 83% of the birds are species that grow or inhabit native grasslands. On the other hand, among these, five species of plants and two of birds have become extinct at the regional level. The vulnerability of grasslands in the region is evidenced by these values, and some factors that may have caused this loss are discussed.
