  • The Mexican Caribbean Continues to Welcome Visitors and Remains Vigilant with Rigorous Covid-19 Prevention Actions
    Official Information from the Government of the State of Quintana Roo COVID-19 Statement Number 3 – March 17, 2020 THE MEXICAN CARIBBEAN CONTINUES TO WELCOME VISITORS AND REMAINS VIGILANT WITH RIGOROUS COVID-19 PREVENTION ACTIONS QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO – March 17, 2020. The state of Quintana Roo in Mexico – home to the Mexican Caribbean’s most popular tourist destinations including Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Cozumel Island, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Isla Holbox and Grand Costa Maya – continues to welcome visitors while maintaining rigorous protocols to ensure the detection, prevention and minimization of risks associated with COVID-19. After nearly two months of coordinated measures across the government and private sector, only four confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the State of Quintana Roo. It is important to mention that all these cases have to do with individuals that live in Mexico. A Mexican-Italian and three Mexican nationals traveled abroad and had contact with someone that was positive for COVID-19. All health protocols were immediately implemented, including isolation of the patients and starting the appropriate treatment, as well as tracing the individuals they came into contact with. The global COVID-19 situation is receiving the highest levels of attention and action by the Quintana Roo State government – with supervision by the State’s Ministry of Health – as well as the private sector and the wider travel industry. Due to these efforts, the risk to visitors remains among the lowest in the world. There is currently no impact to the visitor experience, and as such all destinations in the Mexican Caribbean are open for business.

  • Ctenosaura Defensor (Cope, 1866)
    Ctenosaura defensor (Cope, 1866). The Yucatecan Spiny-tailed Iguana, a regional endemic in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, is distributed in the Tabascan Plains and Marshes, Karstic Hills and Plains of Campeche, and Yucatecan Karstic Plains regions in the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán (Lee, 1996; Calderón-Mandujano and Mora-Tembre, 2004), at elevations from near “sea level to 100 m” (Köhler, 2008). In the original description by Cope (1866), the type locality was given as “Yucatán,” but Smith and Taylor (1950: 352) restricted it to “Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, Mexico.” This lizard has been reported to live on trees with hollow limbs, into which they retreat when approached (Lee, 1996), and individuals also can be found in holes in limestone rocks (Köhler, 2002). Lee (1996: 204) indicated that this species lives “mainly in the xeric thorn forests of the northwestern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula, although they are also found in the tropical evergreen forests of northern Campeche.” This colorful individual was found in low thorn forest 5 km N of Sinanché, in the municipality of Sinanché, in northern coastal Yucatán. Wilson et al. (2013a) determined its EVS as 15, placing it in the lower portion of the high vulnerability category. Its conservation status has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, and as endangered (P) by SEMARNAT. ' © Javier A.

The state of Quintana Roo in Mexico – home to the Mexican Caribbean’s most popular tourist destinations including Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Cozumel Island, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Isla Holbox and Grand Costa Maya – continues to welcome visitors while maintaining rigorous protocols to ensure the detection, prevention and minimization of risks associated with COVID-19. After nearly two months of coordinated measures across the government and private sector, only one confirmed case of COVID-19 has been reported in the State of Quintana Roo. On the afternoon of March 12, a 71 year-old female, an Italian citizen who was recently in Italy, reported symptoms and on March 13 test results confirmed positive for COVID-19. All health protocols were implemented, including isolation of the patient and beginning appropriate treatment, as well as tracing the individuals they came into contact with, none of whom have symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19. The patient and all individuals they came into contact with are now undergoing a period of isolation and treatment. The global COVID-19 situation is receiving the highest levels of attention and action by the Quintana Roo State government – with supervision by the State’s Ministry of Health – as well as the private sector and the wider travel industry.

    Other Contributions NATURE NOTES Amphibia: Anura Incilius luetkenii, Smilisca sordida, and Lithobates forreri. Predation by birds. Predation on adult anurans by tropical birds has been recorded on numerous occasions, where birds of various families (e.g., Accipitridae, Striigidae, Momotidae, Turdidae) have preyed on anurans of different families (e.g., Centrolenidae, Dendrobatidae, Hylidae, Leptodactylidae, Rhinophrynidae; Hayes, 1983; Master 1999; Toledo et al., 2007; Acosta and Morún, 2014; Ramírez-Fernández and Solís-DelValle, 2014). The majority of these events are opportunistic and associated with diet-generalist or invertebrate- and vertebrate-predator bird species (Toledo et al., 2007; Amézquita et al., 2013; Paluh et al., 2015). Here, we present information on the predation of Incilius luetkenii (Bufonidae), Smilisca sordida (Hylidae), and Lithobates forreri (Ranidae) by birds in Costa Rica. On 26 May 2013, at Área de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Santa Rosa, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica (10°50'N, 85°37'W; WGS 84; elev. 298 m), we observed a Roadside Hawk (Buteo [Rupornis] magnirostris) feeding on an individual of Incilius luetkenii. The hawk was standing on the ground pecking and eating a dead I. luetkenii along the edge of gravel road in Tropical Dry Forest, but once it was startled flew across the road without the toad and perched on a tree approximately 5 m from the ground. We cannot determine if the hawk captured the toad or found it dead (the toad remains appeared fresh), but either of these behaviors was likely because the previous evening breeding aggregations involving I. luetkenii had occurred in the area. Although frogs and toads are import- ant dietary items for this hawk (Haverschmidt, 1972; Beltzer, 1990), this observation is the first to report I.
