Understanding the variation of morphological traits in a population is essential to comprehend their ecological interactions and their role in the ecosystem in a given geographic region. Here, we evaluated the sexual dimorphism of the Blunt-headed Tree Snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico, using data from 263 specimens sampled...
Reportamos un caso de polidactilia (presencia de dedos adicionales en una extremidad) en un ejemplar silvestre de Isthmura bellii observado en La Pingüica, Pinal de Amoles, Querétaro.
Mountain systems around the world represent very important research models because they are hot spots for biological diversity. Understanding how animals communities change across environmental variation (e.g., elevational gradients) is central. Currently, the knowledge of the Mexican avian diversity is incomplete due to the absence of detailed stu...

We present an updated checklist of amphibians and reptiles of Querétaro, Mexico. The herpetofauna of Querétaro is composed of 136 species, 35 amphibians (seven caudates and 28 anurans) grouped in nine families and 20 genera; 101 reptiles (five turtles, 33 lizards, and 63 snakes) grouped in 20 families and 59 genera. We did not include 13 previous r...
We report for the first time the genus Centruroides as part of the diet of Conopsis nasus
A pesar de que recientemente se han realizado algunas revisiones parasitológicas en algunos grupos como serpientes y lagartijas, el conocimiento actual sobre la parasitofauna y patologías asociadas en reptiles es incompleto y escaso. Por lo tanto, aquí presentamos el primer informe para el estado de Querétaro, México del pentastómido Porocephalus c...
Science must yield reliable information that strengthens the growth of knowledge. Citizen science can be a very useful tool in the study of the biodiversity of flora and fauna in different environments, especially in those where access conditions or human resources are limited, getting more impediments to carrying out adequate research for the regi...
The spatial patterns of herpetofaunal diversity through elevational gradients have been little studied and therefore many aspects of their composition, arrangement, and functioning are unknown, especially in the mountainous areas of central Mexico. The Sierra Madre Oriental of Querétaro shows high environmental diversity in a small area with a rang...
Due to its topographic and climatic diversity, the state of Querétaro presents high levels of amphibian and reptile richness, abundance, and endemism. However, this information must be updated constantly as regions with previously little to no information are further explored, using sampling methods that allow efficient recording of biological dive...
The jumping pitvipers of the genus Metlapilcoatlus are generally associated with montane environments and are widely distributed from central and southern Mexico to Panama. In this study, we analyzed the phylogenetic position and compared the morphology of a population from the Sierra Madre Oriental, within the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, to ot...
This is a brief natural history note on an encounter with a lava lizard (Microlophus delanonis) on Española Island, Galápagos, engaging in cannibalism. Photograph included.
Natural history note of predation on Chiropterortriton chondrostega.
Reportamos por primera vez nueve especies de aves para el estado de Querétaro, México, cinco de ellas nativas (Cyrtonyx montezumae, Buteo lineatus, Phalaropus fulicarius, Falco mexicanus e Icterus spurius) y cuatro introducidas (Streptopelia roseogrisea, Cyanoliseus patagonus, Amazona finschi yCalocitta colliei). El inventario avifaunístico del est...

Questions
Question (1)
Throughout its wide distribution, data regarding feeding and reproduction of this species appear to be scarce, especially towards the Nearctic part of its range. I would like to know if anyone has unpublished data or photographic evidence to learn a little more about the ecology of this species in Mexico.
Al parecer, a través de su amplia distribución, los datos relacionados con alimentación y reproducción de esta especie son escasos, especialmente hacia la parte neártica de su distribución. Me gustaría saber si alguien tiene datos no publicados o evidencia fotográfica para conocer un poco más de la ecología de esta especie en México.
