El proceso de facilitación de este Plan de Manejo Integrado, fue llevado a cabo mediante un acuerdo de donación por Eco Consultorías Ambyeco S.A. y fue posible gracias al apoyo técnico y financiero del Proyecto BIOMARCC-SINAC-GIZ, la Asociación Costa Rica por Siempre, del personal del Área de Conservación Osa y los refugios de vida silvestre: Estatal: Rio Oro, Mixtos: Pejeperro, Carate, Saimiri y Privados Laguna Azul y Humedal Lacustrino Pejeperrito. La elaboración de este Plan de Manejo Integrado, se enmarca dentro de la iniciativa de Gobierno “Costa Rica por Siempre”. El Programa Costa Rica Por Siempre es una iniciativa público-privada de conservación, desarrollada con el objetivo de consolidar un sistema de áreas protegidas marinas y terrestres que sea ecológicamente representativo, efectivamente manejado y con una fuente estable de financiamiento, permitiéndole a Costa Rica ser el primer país en desarrollo en cumplir las metas del Programa de Trabajo en Áreas Protegidas (“PTAP”) de la Convención sobre Diversidad Biológica (“CDB”) de las Naciones Unidas. Este programa es administrado por la Asociación Costa Rica Por Siempre (“ACRXS”). El proyecto BIOMARCC-SINAC-GIZ “Biodiversidad Marino Costera en Costa Rica, Desarrollo de Capacidades y Adaptación al Cambio Climático” es un proyecto de apoyo al Sistema Nacional de Áreas de Conservación (SINAC-MINAE) ejecutado por la Deutsche Gesellschaft fὕr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, por encargo del Ministerio Alemán de Medio Ambiente, Conservación de la Naturaleza y Seguridad Nuclear (BMU) en el marco de su Iniciativa Protección del Clima (IKI). 2 Contenido Presentación ........................................................................................................................................................... 6 Abreviaturas y Acrónimos................................................................................................................................. 7 Resumen Ejecutivo ............................................................................................................................................... 8 1.

  • 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.

  • Stephen D. Busack
    BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF STEPHEN D. BUSACK Stephen D. Busack Rochester, New York SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE NO. 154 2018 . SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE The first number of the SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE series appeared in 1968. SHIS number 1 was a list of herpetological publications arising from within or through the Smithsonian Institution and its collections entity, the United States National Museum (USNM). The latter exists now as little more than the occasional title for the registration activities of the National Museum of Natural History. No. 1 was prepared and printed by J. A. Peters, then Curator-in-Charge of the Division of Amphibians & Reptiles. The availability of a NASA translation service and assorted indices encouraged him to continue the series and distribute these items on an irregular schedule. The series continues under that tradition. Specifically, the SHIS series distributes translations, bibliographies, indices, and similar items judged useful to individuals interested in the biology of amphibians and reptiles, and unlikely to be published in the normal technical journals. We wish to encourage individuals to share their bibliographies, translations, etc. with other herpetologists through the SHIS series. If you have such an item, please contact George Zug [zugg @ si.edu] for its consideration for distribution through the SHIS series. Our increasingly digital world is changing the manner of our access to research literature and that is now true for SHIS publications. They are distributed now as pdf documents through two Smithsonian outlets: BIODIVERSITY HERITAGE LIBRARY. www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/15728 All numbers from 1 to 131 [1968-2001] available in BHL.

[email protected] Abstract. The dipsadid snake Amastridium sapperi is reported for the first time from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. The single male specimen was found in a shaded coffee grove, which agrees well with the habitat preference shown by other male specimens reported from Mexico. This snake is broadly distributed, but rarely encountered and was not evaluated by either the Semarnat or IUCN systems of conservation assessment, although it has been evaluated using the EVS measure. Also included are details of body length, scutellation, dentition, coloration, testicular development, diet, habitat, and conservation status. Key words: Amastridium sapperi, geographic distribution, Hidalgo, Mexico. Resumen. Se registra por primera vez la culebra Dipsadidae Amastridium sapperi para el estado de Hidalgo, México. El ejemplar es un individuo macho encontrado en un cafetal de sombra, el cual coincide con las características mostradas en otros ejemplares machos documentados previamente para México. Esta serpiente se distribuye ampliamente, pero rara vez se la encuentra y no está considerada por sistemas para la evaluación de la conservación como Semarnat o IUCN; sin embargo, se ha evaluado empleando el método de EVS.

Recibido: 27 Febrero 2015 ABSTRACT Revisado: 14 Mayo 2015 Conservation measures currently lack adequate information to assign some species of amphib- Aceptado: 09 Junio 2015 ians and reptiles in the categories of protection. In this study we analyzed and compared the Editor Asociado: M. Vaira herpetofauna of mountain cloud forest (MCF) and tropical evergreen forest (TEF) in an area north of Hidalgo. For this study, we conducted fieldwork (24 sites) and a literature review. In addition, the conservation status of species was analyzed. The herpetofauna of the municipal- ity of Tepehuacan de Guerrero, Hidalgo, Mexico consists of 70 species (20 amphibians and 50 reptiles), nine of which are historical records that were not found in the present study. Cloud forest was more diverse (39 species) than TEF (37 species). There are discrepancies between national and international agencies of conservation regarding the threatened status of these spe- cies. The high biodiversity recorded in MCF and TEF in the study area indicates the importance of this area for conservation. In this study, we propose to reassess the conservation category of Hidalgo state herpetofauna.
