Aspectos ecológicos de la anidación de Crocodylus acutus (Reptilia: Crocodylidae) en dos localidades de la costa de Oaxaca, México

Abstract: E. 2013. Aspectos ecológicos de la anidación de Crocodylus acutus (Reptilia: Crocodylidae) en dos localidades de la costa de Oaxaca, México. Acta Zoológica Mexicana (n. s.), 29(1): 164-177. RESUMEN. La anidación es uno de los periodos del ciclo reproductivo de los cocodrilos que tiene mayor impacto sobre la sobrevivencia de la especie, por lo que el objetivo del presente estudio fue describir los aspectos ecológicos de la anidación del cocodrilo americano (Crocodylus acutus) en la costa de Oaxaca, México.

“…The total and average hatching success of C. acutus nests obtained by artificial incubation in this work is within the interval reported in studies carried out in natural environments. Our results are similar to the values reported in Quintana Roo, Jalisco and Oaxaca in Mexico, where the hatching percentages were 72.3, 74.1 and 75.1 respectively (Casas-Andreu, 2003;Charruau et al, 2010;Cedillo-Leal et al, 2013) and higher than the percentages registered in Florida (Ogden, 1978;Mazzotti, 1989) and in the Monte Cabaniguán Fauna Refuge in Cuba (Rodríguez, 2009;Tabet, 2009) in which values lower than 60% were recorded. On the other hand, hatching suc-cess averages greater than 80% have been registered in some studies carried out in environments (Cupul-Magaña et al, 2004;Cupul-Magaña & Aranda-Mena, 2005;Balaguera-Reina et al, 2015;Barragán et al, 2021); however, due to the fact that the viability of the eggs was not estimated in this work, the hatching success could be underestimated, for example, Casas-Andreu (2003) refers that the viability can vary between 36 and 100%.…”

“…This makes more sense when considering the total loss of nests left in the middle as a natural control, caused by flooding and poaching of clutches. Flood associated with heavy rains is one of the main factors that cause the loss of nests, since excess humidity directly affects the viability of the eggs, due to the reduction in the oxygen diffusion capacity, causing the death of the embryo (Lutz & Dunbar-Cooper, 1984;Mazzotti et al, 1988 Andreu Charruau et al, 2010;Cedillo-Leal et al, 2013). In addition, the looting of nests is one of the main anthropic factors that can have a great impact on the populations of C. acutus in the evaluated sites.…”

“…Monthly records of negative interactions with C. acutus in Mexico, with geographical coordinates, were compiled from CrocBITE (2018) for 15 August 1993–8 June 2018. From the coordinates we calculated the Euclidean distances to the nearest nesting site (Casas-Andreu, 2003; Cedillo-Leal et al, 2013; Cupul-Magaña et al, 2004; Valtierra-Azotla, 2007; Charruau et al, 2010; Sigler, 2010; Charruau et al, 2011; Hernández-Hurtado et al, 2011; González-Desales et al, 2016a; Charruau et al, 2017) and to the nearest site for which relative abundance data were available (Table 1), using ArcGis 10.2 (Esri, Redlands, USA). The distance of interactions to nesting sites and the distance of interactions to sites where abundance of C. acutus had been evaluated were classified in intervals, based on the Rule of Sturges (Sturges, 1926).…”
