The hairy fruit-eating bat Artibeus hirsutus is endemic to Mexico and is considered a rare species. The little biological and ecological data on this species does not provide much information on its conservation status. The objective of this work was to evaluate the population structure and reproductive activity of a colony of A. hirsutus in west-c...
Domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and cats (Felis catus) in natural reserves can affect wild mammal populations through predation, diseases, and disturbance, particularly when habitat patches are small. In Estero El Salado, a remnant mangrove in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, we used camera trapping to obtain independent observations (n = 1224) to d...
ABSTRACT.—The Crested Guan (Penelope purpurascens) is globally decreasing and endangered in Mexico. Here we report new records (8 adults and 2 juveniles) from a protected relict maple forest (critically endangered Acer binzayedii) in Parque Estatal Bosque de Arce (PEBA), Talpa de Allende, Jalisco, Mexico. Our results confirm the continuous pres- en...

El guajolote norteño (Meleagris gallopavo) se distribuye en México en la región noreste y la vertiente oriental (Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, San Luis Potosí), así como en el centro-occidente hacia el norte a lo largo de la Sierra Madre Occidental (Jalisco, Zacatecas, Nayarit, Durango, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Sonora). Reportamos dos regi...
Ocular diseases are common in pets and other domestic mammals, as well as in wild mammals, but there are few reports for bats. A review of multiple mortality events in bats and examination of bat carcasses from several species revealed that principal causes of death were traumas, bacterial infections, and attacks by domestic cats. Relatively little...
Trabajo de divulgación de información biológica y ecológica de los murciélagos
The diet of the neotropical otter Lontra longicaudis is reported in the Santiago River, Nayarit - Jalisco, Mexico. A diet based on fish was found (percentage of occurrence 43.86%), with lower frequencies of insects (22.81%), reptiles (9.36%) and amphibians (8.77%), with the introduced fish Oreochromis aureus and Cyprinus carpio, the most consumed....
We report the first records of five species of birds for the state of Zacatecas, Mexico: Ortalis poliocephala (West Mexican Chacha- laca), Progne sinaloae (Sinaloa Martin), Peucaea carpalis (Rufous-winged Sparrow), Melospiza melodia (Song Sparrow) and Cya nocompsa parellina (Blue Bunting). Ortalis poliocephala is also a new record for the Western...
El registro de murciélagos con coloración atípica se ha incrementado en los últimos años, y la terminología que se emplea para reconocer los fenotipos es confusa. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron: recopilar, clasificar y catalogar los casos de fenotipos atípicos para Norte y Centroamérica e islas del Caribe entre 1930 y 2014, y documentar...
Los ensambles de murciélagos cobran interés por la complejidad que presentan principalmente en ambientes tropicales, debido a su alta riqueza y variedad de gremios tróficos, así como por los importantes roles ecológicos que estos organismos desempeñan. A pesar de que los murciélagos son el orden de mamíferos con mayor número de especies en el estad...
We documented the richness of mammalian
species of natural área protected (ANP) Estero El
Salado and some áreas around it. The field work
was developed from 2005 to 2012. The species
of mammals were recorder using direct methods
(direct observation of the individuals, capturing the
individual using traps or nets), and indirect methods
(using some t...
The urban growth near natural areas and the
presence of domestic animals who at certain
moment they can become feral, affect the balance
and generate negative impacts on native species.
The area of ecological conservation Estero El
Salado and its neighboring sites, presents a situation
of urbanization in its surroundings, leaving as an
island in th...
Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de Guadalajara y en la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana. Sin embargo, ha recibido poca atención y a la fecha no existe un inventario completo de su mastofauna. El objetivo de este trabajo es listar las especies de mamíferos presentes en el APFFLP, y evaluar su relevancia con relación a otras áreas naturales protegidas en...
We studied the assembly of small mammals in three sites of tropical subdeciduous forest with different regeneration time (BTS, VS32 and VS7), from July 1999 to June 2001. In BTS and VS32 we recorded four species of small mammals (Liomys pictus, Oryzomys couesi, Peromyscus perfulvus and Tlacuatzin canescens), while in VS7 we recorded six species (Li...
We studied some population parameters of Liomys pictus in three areas in a Tropical Subdeciduous Forest: 1) Tropical Subdeciduous Forest (BTS); 2) second growth Tropical Subdeciduous Forest with 32 years of regeneration (VS32) and 3) second growth Tropical Subdeciduous Forest with 7 years of regeneration (VS7). The annual cycle was divided into thr...
The present work analized the changes at local level in the food habits of coyote. This work was developed in a Tropical Subdeciduos Forest in the North Coast of Jalisco State. We collected scats from March 1999 to April 2001, in four sites with different conditions. The scats were analized annually, seasonally (dry-wet), for the whole area and bet...
Se analizó la dieta, amplitud y sobreposición de nicho de alimentación para el coyote (Canis latrans), zorra gris (Urocyon cinereaoargenteus), mapache (Procyon lotor) y jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi) en una zona de bosque tropical caducifolio de la costa sur de Jalisco, México. Para ello se recolectaron 430 excrementos de las cuatro especies...
En este trabajo se dan a conocer algunos aspectos de la dieta del mapache (Procyon lotor hernandezii) en la zona de Tenacatita, en el Estado de Jalisco. Se realizaron colectas de excrementos mensualmente, de marzo de 1994 a diciembre de 1995, a partir de los cuales se determinó que el material vegetal representó el 41.0%, los insectos el 18.4% y lo...
