Resumen
Las sierras de Ambato pertenecen a la provincia de Catamarca, Argentina. Su biota se organiza en pisos altitudinales. Los relevamientos de aves en su vertiente oriental son escasos. Para actualizar el listado de aves, analizar su distribución altitudinal y contribuir a la comprensión de su biogeografía, se relevó la región en toda su extensión latitudinal y altitudinal. Se registraron 211 especies, pertenecientes a 42 familias. El bosque montano cuenta con la mayor riqueza de especies (194), seguido por el bosque serrano (153), los pastizales de neblina (57) y los ambientes de alta montaña (38). Estos resultados incrementan el número de especies registradas en publicaciones previas para la región. La composición de especies de los diferentes pisos altitudinales sugiere conexiones entre los bosques montanos y los bosques paranaenses, y entre los pastizales de altura y los ambientes andinos. La diversidad del área justifica la creación de un área protegida de jurisdicción nacional.
The Ambato Mountains are located in the province of Catamarca, Argentina. Their biota is organized into altitudinal belts. Bird surveys on its eastern slope are scarce. To update the region’s list of birds, analyze its altitudinal distribution, and contribute to the understanding of its biogeography, the region was surveyed along its entire latitudinal and altitudinal extent. A total of 211 species belonging to 42 families were recorded. The montane forest had the greatest species richness (194), followed by the serrano forest (153), the cloud grasslands (57), and the high-mountain environments (38). These results indicate a greater number of species than were recorded in previous publications for the region. The species composition of the different altitudinal zones suggests connections between the montane forests and the Paraná forests, and between the high-altitude grasslands and the Andean environments. The diversity of the area justifies the creation of a protected area under national jurisdiction.
