Item Open Access Evaluación de la distribución espacial del orden anuros en la parroquia La Esperanza frente a diferentes escenarios climáticos(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador Sede Ibarra, 2018-04) Almendáriz Pérez, Bryan RicardoThe objective of this research work was to know the behavior of anurans against climate change. The species of anurans investigated were selected according to their potential location in the study area. The species documented were: Pristimantis curtipes (Cutin of Intac), Gastrotheca orophylax (Rana marsupial of Papallacta) and Gastrotheca riobambae (Rana marsupial of Quito), this study was carried out with these species since they are bioindicators of the quality of the environment. In the present work is related both precipitation and temperature in the places where the anurans live in order to know their life parameters. The selected study area is located in the parish of La Esperanza, located southwest of the Ibarra canton. A comparison was made with the results from the database of the EdGCM program to establish an adjustment curve that indicates the goodness of the results of the program with the actual results of the meteorological stations used. The data from the Meteorological Yearbooks published by the INAMHI for a period of 23 years from 1990 to 2012 were used for the precipitation, the data from six stations were used, while for temperature, the data from four. The IDW Interpolation Method was applied for each sampling point in order to obtain objective and representative information of the meteorological parameters in question. With the data obtained, a future projection was made, both for the year 2040 and for 2070 to reflect the behavior of the anurans with respect to climatic variability, within the results obtained, the specimens under study will adapt to the existing conditions As much of precipitation as temperature for the future years, theoretically the species will pass from condition 1 to condition 2 within the climatic envelope model proposed in this study.
