Abstract
Se investigó la riqueza de herpetofauna de la Reserva Natural Privada Los Tarrales (RNPLT), cuenca del Lago Atitlán, Guatemala
mediante tres métodos: 1) captura/avistamiento de especímenes,
2) investigación social y 3) investigación documental. Se realizaron
búsquedas diurnas y nocturnas. El esfuerzo de búsqueda abarcó
10 años (2003 a 2013), a razón de seis pulsos por año. El tiempo
acumulado de búsqueda fue de 600 horas-transecto. Se recorrió el
equivalente a 720 km de senderos, cubriendo elevaciones entre
los 700 y los 1900 msnm. Tres ex-cazadores de la reserva fueron
entrevistados. Se analizaron publicaciones sobre distribución de la
herpetofauna para Guatemala. Se generó un listado que incluye
119 especies. Se discute la calidad y el significado de los datos generados
ABSTRACT: The herpetofaunal richness of Los Tarrales Natural Private Reserve (LTNPR), on the south side of the Lake Atitlán basin, in Guatemala, was investigated through three methods: 1) capture/sighting of specimens, 2) social inquiry, 3) desk research. The field work was distributed over a 10 year period (2003-2013) at a rate of six search sessions each year. Accumulated search time was 600 hours-transect. We walked the equivalent of 450 miles of trails, covering elevations between 700 and 1900 meters above sea level. Three former hunters were interviewed and asked to identify species occurring at the LTNPR. Published data was reviewed to identify species distributed in the LTNPR. The generated list includes 119 species. The quality and significance of our data are discussed.
