Lista Actualizada de los mamíferos de México 2012

Abstract

La diversidad de mamíferos silvestres de México es una de las mayores en el mundo. Estudios sobre taxonomía, sistemática y distribución en los últimos 15 años han modificado sustancialmente el número de especies del país. Aquí se presenta la lista más reciente y actualizada de los mamíferos de México. Este grupo se encuentra representado por 13 órdenes, 46 familias, 201 géneros y 548 especies, de las cuales 174 son endémicas del país. Esta es la primera vez que el número de especies registradas en el país pasa de 540. Se incluyen datos de continentalidad e insularidad, afinidad biogeográfica y estado de conservación de acuerdo tanto al gobierno federal mexicano como con organismos internacionales. En esta actualización se han agregado los mapas de distribución de las especies. pALABRAS CLAVE: México, mamíferos, presencia, distribución, conservación. The diversity of Mexican mammals is one of the largest in the World. Over the past 15-years studies on taxonomy, systematics, and distribution have modified the former mammal checklist for the country. Here we present an updated checklist that comprise 13 orders, 46 families, 201 genera, and 548 species, of which 174 are endemic to Mexico. In the checlist we include data on the distribution, biogeographic affinities, and conservation status at the National and World level. We also have included distribution maps of all the species. KEY WORDS: Mexico, mammals, presence, distribution, conservation

List of recent land mammals of Mexico, 2014

“…Nothing has been pub¬ lished since the last list (Ramirez-Pulido et al 2005) that brings together in one place all of the taxonomic and nomenclatorial changes that have occurred at the generic, species, and subspecies levels. Several papers have chronicled recent taxonomic changes (Ceballos and Arroyo-Cabrales 2013;Gardner 2008a;Godinez et al 2011;Wilson and Reeder 2005) and, in fact those reports have generated the need for the discussions of taxonomic decisions we provide in this list.…”

Diphylla ecaudata(Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)

“…There is a single report of a female in south Texas, United States (Reddell 1968; Simmons 2005), but it is likely an instance of an accidental migrant. In Mexico, it can be found from southern Tamaulipas (Elizalde-Arellano et al 2007; Ceballos and Arroyo 2012) and San Luis Potosí (Wilson et al 1985), southward through part of Guanajuato (Magaña-Cota et al 2010), Puebla (Vargas-Miranda et al 2008), Veracruz (Martínez-Gallardo and Sánchez-Cordero 1997; Coates et al 2017), Oaxaca (Briones-Salas et al 2015), Chiapas (Horvath et al 2001; Cruz-Lara et al 2004; Escobedo et al 2005; Lorenzo et al 2017), Yucatán (Arita 1997), and Quintana Roo (Pozo de la and Escobedo 1999). It is distributed continuously throughout Central America in Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama (Dalquest and Hall 1947; Jones 1966; McCarthy 1987; Sampaio et al 2016), and into South America, with records in Venezuela (Ojasti and Linares 1971; Handley 1976), Colombia (Aellen 1970; Castro 2016; Echavarría et al 2017), Ecuador (Albuja, 1983), Bolivia (Siles et al 2003), Perú (Tuttle 1970; Graham and Barkley 1984; Hutterer et al 1995; Solari et al 2001; Quintana and Pacheco 2007), and Brazil, where there are reports of its presence in 20 states, including the Amazon State and the Federal District (Esbérard et al 2005; Faria et al 2006; Feijó and Langguth 2011; Rocha et al 2014; Santos and Lopes 2015; see ).…”

Abundance of the northernmost jaguar Panthera onca breeding population

“…Among the most damaging anthropogenic factors are livestock and agriculture activities practiced in unsustainable ways that change forest cover and land use. This translates into fragmentation and loss of habitat and species (Franklin et al 2002, Ceballos and Arroyo-Cabrales 2012, Schank et al 2017, Meyer et al 2019. One of the alternatives implemented in Mexico as an instrument for biological conservation is the creation of protected natural areas, both federal and private (Langholz and Krug 2004, Bezaury-Creel and Gutiérrez-Carbonell 2009, Kamal et al 2015.…”
