A Reexamination of the Herpetofauna of Oaxaca, Mexico: Composition Update, Physiographic Distribution, and Conservation Commentary

Abstract: A substantial number of changes to the composition of the herpetofauna of the Mexican state of Oaxaca, including taxonomic additions and deletions, have occurred in the five years since our original assessment of this region. These changes now establish a herpetofauna of 480 species for the state. A number of taxonomic and nomenclatural changes involving the Oaxacan herpetofauna also are discussed. Updated patterns of physiographic distribution, endemism, and conservation status of the members of the state her… Show more

“…More recently, we know, for example, that the diversity of birds in Oaxaca now totals 776 species (Blázquez-Olaciregui, 2016). That of amphibians and reptiles is a total of 480 species (Mata-Silva et al, 2021) and that of mammals is 216 species (Briones-Salas et al, 2015). As exploratory and formal research work continues, new species will be added to the total figures of the entity.…”

“…ya que contempla la historia natural y la distribución geográfica para emitir una categoría más precisa, sin demeritar a las especies nuevas o poco conocidas, mostrando una ventaja respecto a otros sistemas de evaluación (Wilson et al, 2013;Cadena-Rico et al, 2020) (Johnson et al, 2015b). Cabe mencionar que el 64 % de las especies registradas en el presente trabajo no están clasificadas en alguna categoría de la NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, patrón que es consistente en diferentes estudios realizados en el país (Alvarado-Díaz et al, 2013;Johnson et al, 2015a;Mata-Silva et al, 2015;Neváres-de los Reyes et al, 2016;Terán-Juárez et al, 2016;Woolrich-Piña et al, 2016;González-Sánchez et al, 2017). De acuerdo a estos estudios, el número de especies evaluadas por la NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 es bajo, ya que en algunos casos son limitados los criterios que se emplean para la inclusión y categorización, por lo que se considera que este sistema de evaluación, de momento es deficiente para algunas especies (García-Aguilar et al, 2017;González-Sánchez et al, 2017).…”

“…However, Zweifel (1960) collected the first record from the María Cleofas Island, and it was identified as Oxybelis aeneus auratus (AMNH 78731). Mata-Silva et al (2021) gave this species a medium environmental vulnerability score (EVS = 11). It has not been assessed by either the IUCN or SEMARNAT.…”
