TL;DR: Aguilar-Martinez et al. as discussed by the authorsernandez-Rodriguez, J.N.Ramos-Reyes, C. I., C. Elizalde-Arellano, G. C. Lopez-Vidal, G F. N. Campos, and R. Hernandez-Arciga, collected at the Biosphere Reserve of Sierra Gorda of Guanajuato and adjacent zones.
Abstract: RESUMEN . La presente contribucion tiene como objetivo dar a conocer seis nuevos registros deanfibios y reptiles y confirmar la presencia de una especie en Guanajuato. Los ejemplares fueroncolectados entre los anos 2003 y 2006 en varias localidades de los municipios de San Luis de la Paz,Victoria y Xichu, que actualmente forman parte de la Reserva de la Biosfera “Sierra Gorda deGuanajuato” y se depositaron en la coleccion Herpetologica de la Escuela Nacional de CienciasBiologicas, del I.P.N. Los nuevos registros de anfibios son: Chaunus marinus y Ollotis nebulifer, los dereptiles son: Sceloporus variabilis, Plestiodon tetragrammus, Boa constrictor y Masticophis flagellum. El registro de Lithobates berlandieri confirma la presencia de esta especie en Guanajuato. Palabras clave: anfibios, reptiles, Guanajuato, nuevos registros. Campos-Rodriguez, J. I., C. Elizalde-Arellano, J. C. Lopez-Vidal, G. F. Aguilar-Martinez, S. N.Ramos-Reyes & R. Hernandez-Arciga. 2009. Noteworthy records of amphibians and reptiles ofGuanajuato, collected at the Biosphere Reserve of “Sierra Gorda of Guanajuato” and adjacentzones.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pareja de aguila real ( Aquila chrysaetos) cazando in the localidad de Mesita del Tigre, municipio de Victoria, Guanajuato, Mexico was documented.
Abstract: Documentamos por primera vez la presencia del aguila real ( Aquila chrysaetos ) dentro de la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra Gorda de Guanajuato ( rbsgg ) en el estado de Guanajuato, Mexico. En mayo de 2015 observamos una pareja de aguila real cazando en la localidad de Mesita del Tigre, municipio de Victoria, Guanajuato. Nuestro registro tiene implicaciones en las politicas de uso de suelo contenidas en el Plan de Manejo de la rbsgg , donde sugerimos incluir medidas explicitas de proteccion del habitat de la especie y el establecimiento de programas de monitoreo en aquellas subzonas donde se ha registrado al aguila real o existe potencial para la anidacion de la especie.

TL;DR: 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.
Abstract: 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 records are within western versant of the Sierra Gorda at Sierra Gorda de Guanajuato. Evidence is given that supports the idea that the area supports a herpetofaunal assemblage of tropical affinities.

TL;DR: A checklist of the herpetofa una for the SIERRA de SANTA ROSA, GUANAJUATO, RESULTED FROM SIX FIELD TRIPS in a two-year period.
Abstract: A CHECKLIST OF THE HERPETOFAUNA FOR THE SIERRA DE SANTA ROSA, GUANAJUATO, RESULTED FROM SIX FIELD TRIPS IN A TWO YEARS PERIOD IS PRESENTED. THE ACTUAL DIVERSITY IS COMPARED WITH THAT REPORTED BY A. DUGES (1869, 1895, 1896) DENOTING THOSE SPECIES CATALOGUED IN THE NORMA OFICIAL MEXICANA (NOM-059-ECOL-1994). THIRTY ONE SPECIES WERE REGISTERED (11 AMPHIBIANS AND 20 REPTILES), SEVEN MORE THAN THOSE REPORTED BY DUGES. BECOMING THE SIERA DE SANTA ROSA ONE OF THE MAJOR SITES OF HERPETOFAUNA DIVERSITY IN THE STATE OF GUANAJUATO. THE FROGS HYLAMIOTYMPANUM, SMILISCA BAUDINI, AND ELEUTHERODACTYLUS NITIDUS, THE LIZARD SCELOPORUS MINOR, AND THE SNAKES TOLUCA LINEATA AND CROTALUS MOLOSSUS NIGRESCENS ARE NEW RECORDS FOR THE SIERRA DE SANTA ROSA, AND THE SNAKE RAMPHOTHYLOPS BRAMINUS IS ALSO A NEW RECORD FOR THE STATE OF GUANAJUATO. ONLY A 18% OF THE AMPHIBIANS AND 48% OF THE REPTILES ARE LISTED IN THE NOM-059-ECOT.-1994, BEING HABITAT DESTRUCTION THEIR MAJOR THREAT. SCELOPORUS AENEUS AND S. SCALARIS SEEM TO BE EXTIRPATED, HOWEVER, MOST SPECIES OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES REPORTED REPORTED BY DUGES MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO, HAVE SURVIVED LOCAL EXTINCTION. THE SNAKE SENTICOLIS TRIASPIS INTERMEDIUS IS A NEW RECORD FOR THE STATE OF GUANAJUATO, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT PART OF THE HERPETOFAUNA OF THE SIERRA DE SANTA ROSA.

TL;DR: In this article, the diversity of amphibians and reptiles from the Cerro del Veinte, Irapuato, Guanajuato was analyzed and compared for rainy and dry seasons in a tropical dry forest.
Abstract: In this study the diversity of amphibians and reptiles from the Cerro del Veinte, Irapuato, Guanajuato was analyzed and compared for rainy and dry seasons in a tropical dry forest. A total of 23 species were recorded, 6 amphibians and 17 reptiles of which 22 were collected in the rainy season and 12 in the dry season. The frog Hyla eximia was the most abundant amphibian species for the rainy season, while the toad Anaxyrus compactilis showed low abundance in both, dry and rainy seasons. For reptiles, the most abundant species during the rainy season were the collared lizard Sceloporus torquatus, and the turtle Kinosternon integrum, and in dry weather, the spiny lizard S. spinosus. This work contributes to the understanding of diversity patterns in seasonal tropical environments providing current information on the herpetofauna for the municipality of Irapuato, laying basis for the development of ecological studies and conservation plans for amphibians and reptiles on the site.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used mitochondrial DNA sequences to examine the phylogeography of Bufo valliceps and discovered the existence of two distinct clades: B. valli and B. nebulifer, and tested the current distribution of these species, based on a calibrated rate of evolution and the percent sequence divergence between the two species.

17 Aug 2001TL;DR: It is proposed balancing efforts devoted to the different disciplines in mammalogy to guarantee an adequate knowledge of the mammal fauna in Mexico.
Abstract: We reviewed and analyzed the scientific literature on mammals of Mexico, including journal articles, the series Mammalian Species, book chapters and books, published between 1890 and 1995. The references were classified according to 11 general topics and included into a database. We registered 2129 publications, of which 1826 were articles in periodical journals, 206 fascicles monographs of Mammalian Species, 40 book chapters and 45 books. Journal articles showed a significant increase in the 1950's, due to a concomitant increase in number of scientist and institutions with professional interest in mammalogy. Geographically, Veracruz has been intensively studied, reaching 22% of all publications, while Tlaxcala is the least studied, with only 1% of all publications. The 79% of these publications were authored by foreign researchers, and 82% were published in foreign journals, lead prominently by the Journal of Mammalogy with 21%. Forty percent of the publications dealt with taxonomy and phylogeny, and 36% with the geographic distribution of species. Foreign authors, mostly from the U.S.A., outnumbered Mexicans in publications, except in book chapters. In recent years, however, an increase in Mexican scientists working with mammals has resulted in a significant increase in publications. These trends showed that U.S. scientists have historically played a crucial role for the development of mammalogy in Mexico, while Mexican scientist have recently contributed significantly to this field. We propose balancing efforts devoted to the different disciplines in mammalogy to guarantee an adequate knowledge of the mammal fauna in Mexico.
