Abiotic and biotic constraints across reptile and amphibian ranges. – Ecography doi: 10.1111/ecog.01369 Supplementary material Appendix 1 TABLE A1 The directional offsets and linear distances between the centroid of the observed and predicted range for all species. The ratio of predicted to actual range area North (Pn) or South (Ps) of the observed geometric centroids is listed for each species. If the ratio of habitat predicted to be suitable in the South and North (Ps/Pn) is greater than one, there is more overprediction in the South. Species with ranges abutting the Gulf of Mexico were excluded from the analysis. 31 Offset Offset Climate Sample Species Class Order Region Vector Distance Ps Pn Ps/Pn Variable of Size (degrees) (km)

  • Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
    Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico. Photo by Christian Berriozabal-Islas. Amphib.

  • The San Pedro River in Southeastern Arizona
    Lowland Riparian Herpetofaunas: The San Pedro River in Southeastern Arizona Philip C. Rosen School of Natural Resources, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ Abstract—Previous work has shown that southeastern Arizona has a characteristic, high diversity lowland riparian herpetofauna with 62-68 or more species along major stream corridors, and 46-54 species in shorter reaches within single biomes, based on intensive fieldwork and museum record surveys. The San Pedro River supports this characteristic herpetofauna, at least some of which still occurs in the lower basin within the Sonoran Desert. It has about 64 species (55 vouchered to date), with 48-53 species within each of three somewhat ecologically homogeneous portions of the basin. This assemblage is more similar to other lowland herpetofaunas than to an example of a canyon riparian herpetofauna. Most of the characteristic riparian species are not known to be abundant along the San Pedro, and some expected species are apparently absent, suggesting that the herpetofauna may have not yet recovered from the history of grassland, cienega, and bottomland degradation. effort has been most focused in the upper basin, and it is dif- Introduction ficult to entirely separate riparian and non-riparian records, so Remarkably, the riparian herpetofauna of southeastern I have summarized the latter for the upper basin; in the lower Arizona has not been accurately described between Ruthven’s reaches, so little collecting has been done away from the river (1907) and Van Denburgh and Slevin’s (1913) annotations that this was not possible. Museum records were excluded if and records for the Santa Cruz River riparian at Tucson and localities could not be located to an adequate precision, but I the present.

ZooKeys 593: 117–137. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.593.8484 Abstract We compiled a checklist of the amphibians and reptiles of the state of Coahuila, Mexico. The list com- prises 133 species (24 amphibians, 109 reptiles), representing 27 families (9 amphibians, 18 reptiles) and 65 genera (16 amphibians, 49 reptiles). Coahuila has a high richness of lizards in the genus Sceloporus. Coahuila has relatively few state endemics, but has several regional endemics. Overlap in the herpetofauna of Coahuila and bordering states is fairly extensive. Of the 132 species of native amphibians and reptiles, eight are listed as Vulnerable, six as Near Threatened, and six as Endangered in the IUCN Red List. In the SEMARNAT listing, 19 species are Subject to Special Protection, 26 are Threatened, and three are in Danger of Extinction.

The Project would consist of three components: (I) a new I 0-15 acre Gateway Substation on land currently owned by· Tucson Electric Power, where HVDC equipment would be located (with the HVDC tie initially sized at ISO MW, but capable of expansion, in phase two, to 300 MW); (2) a new, approximately 3-mile overhead 138 kV transmission line segment originating at Un iSource Energy Services' Valencia substation in Nogales, Arizona, and extending west and south to the new Gateway Substation; and (3) a new, approximately 2-mile overhead 230 kV transmission line segment extending south from the new Gateway Substation and across the US-Mexico border to interconnect with a transm ission line to be constructed in Mexico. Included in package are four documents: • Application of Nogales Transmission, L.L.C. for Presidential Permit • Environmental Assessment in support of a Presidential Permit • Biological Report • Cultural Report Nogales Transmission respectfully requests DOE to review the Presidential Permit Application and attached support documents.
