| Summary, etc. | The following pages related to my experiences and observations during the most extreme El Niño season of which there are records. The changes wrought in the climate brought about major changes in population size for some organisms and others were forced to flee the islands in search of sufficient food for survival, for the seas of the eastern Pacific became impoverished. The regular patterns of distribution of many animals were disrupted and there would appear to have been some powerful selection pressures brought to bear on several species. One wonders how much Niño years have been responsible for the remarkable assemblages of organims which now exist within the archipelago.<br/><br/>It was my fortune to be working as a National Park Naturalist Guide within the islands during this period and it has left a deep impression on me for the rapidity with which these changes took place and the differing abilities of creatures and plants to deal with them. Are these organisms finely adapted or are they victims of fate and chance? |
| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Las siguientes páginas relatan mis experiencias y observaciones durante una de las temporadas más extremas, de las que constan en record, del fenómeno El Niño. Las alteraciones en el clima dieron como resultado grandes cambios en el tamaño de las poblaciones de algunos organismos y otros fueron forzados a huir de las islas en busca de alimento suficiente para sobrevivir, ya que el Pacífico del este se tornó sumamente pobre. Las normas regulares de vida de muchos animales fueron interrumpidas y parece que ha habido fuertes presiones de selección natural para algunas especies. Uno se pregunta: ¿Hasta qué punto los años en que ha ocurrido el fenómeno del Niño son responsables de la extraordinaria presencia de organismos que existen ahora en el archipiélago?<br/><br/>Fue mi suerte el haber estado trabajando como Guía Naturalista del Parque Nacional Galápagos durante este período y ha dejado en mí una muy profunda impresión de la rapidez con la que los cambios ocurrieron y la habilidad con la que animales y plantas se enfrentaron a este fenómeno. ¿Están estos organismos finamente adaptados o son víctimas del destino y el azar? |
