Estimating the Abundance and Habitat Selection of Conservation Priority Marsh-Dwelling Passerines with a Double-Observer Approach

Abstract

[ES]: El seguimiento y evaluación de las poblaciones de aves constituye una herramienta fundamental para la adecuada gestión de espacios naturales, dado su carácter indicativo del estado de conservación de los ecosistemas. Por ello, resulta importante aplicar métodos que permitan la mayor precisión y fiabilidad para obtener tamaños de población. En este trabajo se muestreó la población de tres paseriformes palustres en el Parque Nacional de Las Tablas de Daimiel (centro de España) en época reproductora, a través de la técnica de doble observador independiente. Para el tratamiento de los datos se utilizó un modelo jerárquico bayesiano con covariables que permite determinar simultáneamente el tamaño poblacional y la detectabilidad, así como los factores que afectan significativamente a ambos parámetros. La presencia de las dos especies más amenazadas, el escribano palustre iberoriental Emberiza schoeniclus witherbyi y el carricerín real Acrocephalus melanopogon estuvo relacionada significativa y positivamente con el grado de cobertura de masiega Cladium mariscus, especie indicadora de una elevada calidad del agua y un régimen hídrico relativamente poco fluctuante. El bigotudo Panurus biarmicusresultó el más generalista y no seleccionó significativamente ninguna de las variables estudiadas. El carricerín real resultó más fácilmente detectable hasta primeros de mayo y a primera hora de la mañana.

[EN]: Monitoring bird populations is essential for the proper management of natural areas, since birds serve as indicator species to assess the conservation status of ecosystems. Therefore, it is important to estimate population sizes using methods of the highest possible accuracy and reliability. In this study, the populations of three marsh-dwelling passerines were sampled in the Tablas de Daimiel National Park (central Spain) during the breeding season, using a double independent observer technique. Data analysis was performed using a hierarchical Bayesian model with covariates that can simultaneously determine the population size and detectability, as well as factors that significantly affect both parameters. The presence of the two most threatened species, the reed bunting Emberiza schoeniclus witherbyi and the moustached warbler Acrocephalus melanopogon, was significantly and positively related to the coverage of fen sedge Cladium mariscus, an indicator species for waters of high quality and low fluctuation in depth. The bearded parrotbill Panurus biarmicus was the most generalist species with no positive association with any of the studied variables. The moustached warbler was more readily detectable until the beginning of May and early in the morning.
