Home range size, daily travel distances, and diel activity patterns are important characteristics of how an animal uses its home area. In species, such as the bobcat (Lynx rufus), with large geographical ranges, it is necessary to gather data on diverse populations across better understand what might be factors influencing these parameters. Although there many studies bobcats in more northern areas United States, few exist from extensive southern Mexico. To fill this gap information, we...
Abstract Bat acoustic libraries are important tools that assemble echolocation calls to allow the comparison and discrimination confirm species identifications. The Sonozotz project represents first nation‐wide library of bat for a megadiverse country. It was assembled following standardized recording protocol aimed cover different habitats, techniques, call variation inherent individuals. included 69 echolocating bats, high richness 50% found in We include recommendations on how database...
We studied the diet and foraging behavior of bobcats (Lynx rufus) in Chihuahuan Desert, Mexico, from 2005–2007 to test if will select energetically profitable prey, regardless their relative abundance. estimated frequency occurrence percentage for species prey through analysis scats (n = 117) evaluated selection by comparing availability against consumption, based on biomass number consumed as represented scats. Bobcats a wide variety but rodents lagomorphs dominated diet. Species were not...

La presente contribución tiene como objetivo dar a conocer seis nuevos registros de anfibios y reptiles confirmar la presencia una especie en Guanajuato. Los ejemplares fueron colectados entre los años 2003 2006 varias localidades municipios San Luis Paz, Victoria Xichú, que actualmente forman parte Reserva Biosfera Sierra Gorda Guanajuato se depositaron colección Herpetológica Escuela Nacional Ciencias Biológicas, del I.P.N. son: Chaunus marinus Ollotis nebulifer, Sceloporus variabilis,...
La presente publicación tiene dos objetivos principales: 1. dar a conocer varias especies de mamíferos que son nuevos registros para Guanajuato y 2. mencionar localidades adicionales algunas han sido colectadas previamente en el estado, incrementando su distribución la entidad. Los ejemplares se colectaron durante los años 2003 2006 Reserva Biosfera “Sierra Gorda Guanajuato” depositaron Colección Mastozoología Escuela Nacional Ciencias Biológicas del Instituto Politécnico Nacional. Además...
Updated information on the geographic and taxonomic representativeness of mammal specimens deposited in 28 Mexican collections, Mammal Networked Information System (MaNIS), Unidad de Informatica para la Biodiversidad (UNIBIO) data bases were compiled order to analyze compare overall current status mammals collections North America. A total 421,466 120 documented, which 233,116 United States America Canada, 188,350 Mexico. The with greatest number from Mexico are Coleccion Nacional Mamiferos...
Se analizó la anatomía e histología de lengua Noctilio leporinus cuyo hábito alimentario es principalmente piscívoro. El objetivo fue verificar presencia alguna estructura particular que pudiera estar asociada a este tipo alimentación. La superficie lingual presenta tres tipos papilas linguales: filiformes, fungiformes y circunvaladas. Histológicamente los dos últimos poseen botones gustativos. Las circunvaladas están asociadas las glándulas serosas Von Ebner. En parte central hay un septo...
Introduction: Photographic records are useful tools that had strengthen wildlife mammal studies as a noninvasive methodology providing wide variety of information. The objective this study is to document with images (automatic - trail cameras and manually – personal cameras) the species mammals inhabiting Mapimi Biospere Reserve (MBR), highlight morphologic characteristics distinguish them, record area vegetation type where each was found determine some their daily activities. Methods:...
Abstract Peromyscus melanophrys is a Mexican endemic distributed in seasonal tropical forests and semiarid lands. Molecular work based on mitochondrial nuclear markers proposed the existence of four haplogroups within P. melanophrys. mekisturus (Puebla deer mouse) was included one these haplogroups. We tested consistency between this hypothesis external morphology, quantitative qualitative cranial attributes, ecological data for sample 1,155 specimens spanning species distribution. found...
Jaguars and pumas are top-predator species in the Neotropics that threatened by habitat destruction, illegal poaching of their body parts favored prey, human-wildlife conflicts arise when predators attack livestock. Much remaining felid Americas is protected nature reserves too small isolated to support local populations. Surrounding forests therefore play a vital role conservation. Successful long-term conservation these two felids requires evidence-based knowledge biological ecological...
Bats are important reservoirs of viral entities that cause diverse economical and health problems in several sectors. The purpose this study was to determine the prevalence rabies virus vampire bats. We also tested for 3 other zoonotic viruses collected tissue. captured 45 bats (Desmodus rotundus), which were measured sexed under standard parameters. followed an RT-PCR reaction amplify products four types: chikungunya (CHIKV), dengue (DENV), (RABV) Zika (ZIKV) from cerebral obtained amplicon...
Five new reptile records for the Mexican state of Guanajuato are reported: Lampropeltis triangulum dixoni, Leptodeira annulata cusiliris, Oxybelis aeneus, Tropidodipsas sartorii, and Scincella silvicola caudaequinae. These within western versant Sierra Gorda at de Guanajuato. Evidence is given that supports idea area a herpetofaunal assemblage tropical affinities.
Se analizó la estructura anatómica e histológica de lengua del murciélago frugívoro Centurio senex; y se comparó con descrita para otras especies quirópteros; conocer si existen estructuras particulares que pudieran estar asociadas a su tipo alimentación; La este es corta; redondeada posee numerosas papilas filiformes unicúspides; las cortas ubican en parte anterior largas media; cercano punta encuentran pequeñas ápice bicúspide; carece fungiformes circunvaladas; A nivel histológico; hay un...
Establishing the limits on distribution of Gerrhonotus infernalis in Guanajuato state has been relatively complicated, and presence this species was uncertain until recently. This paper confirms for state, expanding range known northeast based three records from Sierra Gorda.
We present a new record of Geophis latifrontalis for the Mexican state Guanajuato. This specimen was collected in municipality Xichú, Previews records this species were reported from Moctezuma, San Luis Potosí and Pinal de Amoles, Querétaro, so extends know distribution into western slope Sierra Madre Oriental.
Biological collections have become a key tool for biodiversity research. They are repositories of germplasm and data on modified or extinct natural populations, providing valuable information understanding anthropogenic impacts the world. We appraised scientific value three mammal maintained by Instituto Politécnico Nacional Mexico (IPN): Escuela de Ciencias Biológicas (ENCB), CIIDIR Durango (CRD), Oaxaca (OAXMA). evaluated their specimen inventory, geographic coverage, importance mammalogy....
Introducción: La Rata de Magdalena, Xenomys nelsoni, es un roedor endémico México, distribución restringida a las selvas bajas caducifolias densas, en una pequeña región la costa del Pacífico mexicano. Es especie poco conocida, catalogada como "En Peligro" acuerdo con Unión Internacional para Conservación Naturaleza (IUCN). Este desconocimiento unido alta tasa deforestación su hábitat hace que conservación sea prioritaria. Objetivo: Realizar recuento histórico los registros depositados...
