We present the characterization of the aquatic environment, riparian ecosystem and macroinvertebrate communities in 7 basins of the west slope of the Yanachaga Chemillén National Park (PNYCh). The CERA protocol, including the Andean Biotic Index (ABI), the Fluvial Habitat Index (IHF), the Andean Creek Index (Qbr-And) were estimated and the combination of these 3 indexes allowed to calculate the Ecological Status Index of Andean Rivers (ECOSTRIAND) at each sampling point. Additionally the FBI and BMWP-Col indexes were calculated. Sampling was carried out in the 7 basins, between 1800 and 2500 meters of altitude, including the upper basins inside the PNYCh, in the middle and lower basins, both in the buffer zone of the park. We found 179 taxa, 66 families and 14 orders in all basins evaluated. Within the PNYCh, the values of IHF and Qbr-And were optimal, but to go down basins, the indexes...

La vicuña (Vicugna vicugna) es una especie silvestre de Camélido Sudamericano (CSA). Está clasificada en Bajo Riesgo según la IUCN, no obstante, como continúa estando amenazada, se requiere estudios enfocados en su conservación. Una herramienta de conservación es la reproducción asistida, sin embargo, para hacer uso de ella, primero se requiere conocer la fisiología básica de la especie. En ese sentido, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo desarrollar un protocolo de contención química y colección de semen en vicuñas mediante la técnica de electroeyaculación, así como caracterizar el eyaculado obtenido. Fueron utilizados 9 individuos machos adultos de V. vicugna, clínicamente sanos, pertenecientes al Parque Zoológico Huachipa (n igual 3), Lima; CIP Quimsachata-INIEA (n igual 4), Puno; y Zoológico Municipal Cerrito de La Libertad (n igual 2), Huancayo. La electroeyac...

The Víctor Larco Herrera district, located in the province of Trujillo, department of La Libertad, presents a growing population every year, according to the INEI for the year 2020, it had a total of 78,304 inhabitants, this district has avenues and main streets with characteristics dynamically commercial. In addition to this, the problems influenced by the expansion of the vehicle fleet and the circulation of vehicles in poor condition are mentioned, being possible sources of noise pollution, since it causes serious problems that affect the environment, health, comfort and quality of life. of the population that carries out their work activities in said district. The purpose of this research work is to evaluate the level of noise from vehicular traffic and the influence it has on the quality of life of the citizens of the Víctor Larco district, through noise monitoring according to th...
