Perú

Sinopsis del Libro

In August of 2005, scientists conducted a rapid inventory in Sierra del Divisor, a mountain range that rises up dramatically from the lowlands of central Amazonian Peru. This assessment, presented here in English and Spanish, collects their research on the plants and animals of the region as well as the social and cultural assets of local villages and their use and management of natural resources. The report includes recommendations for conservation and management, including steps to safeguard the voluntarily isolated indigenous people living in the region. Corine Vriesendorp is a conservation ecologist and botanist with Environmental and Conservation Programs at The Field Museum, Chicago. Thomas S. Schulenberg is a conservation ecologist and ornithologist with Environmental and Conservation Programs at The Field Museum, Chicago. William S. Alverson is a conservation ecologist and botanist with the Environmental and Conservation Programs at The Field Museum, Chicago. Debra K. Moskovits is Senior Vice President of Environment, Culture, and Conservation at the Field Museum, Chicago. José-Ignacio Rojas Moscoso is a freelance biologist in Tambopata, Peru.

Etología

Des de tiempos remotos los humanos han observado el comportamiento animal, primero para sobrevivir, luego para cazarlos y después para domesticarlos. Hoy en día, en el mundo natural y urbano en el que vivimos ¿quién no ha visto un ave alzar sus coloridas alas y aletearlas vigorosamente hacia una hembra, o a una ardilla comiendo semillas? Por un motivo u otro, los seres humanos han estado y siguen interesados en la conducta animal. La etología, la ciencia que estudia el comportamiento animal, permite aproximarnos de una perspectiva sistemática a responder cuáles son las causas...

Pattern Recognition Methods for Crop Classification from Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Images

(Complete work in Spanish) Remote sensing aerial spectral imaging was one of the first application areas where spectral imaging was used in order to identify and monitor the natural resources and covers on earth surface. Aerial spectral imaging is being developed with the aim of monitoring natural resources like coastal areas, forestry and extensive crops. The information contained in hyperspectral images allows the reconstruction of the energy curve radiated by the terrestrial surface throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Hence, the characterization, identification and classification of...
