Conservación de serpientes de cascabel de la península e islas del Golfo de California y del Pacífico

Citation

Description

Se abordarán 11 especies de serpientes de cascabel de la península e islas del golfo de California y del Pacífico, con el fin de identificar su estado de conservación a través del análisis del Método de Riesgo (MER), que forma parte de la Norma Oficial Mexicana 059-SEMARNAT-2001. Para identificar el estado de conservación se recopilará información de las serpientes a tres niveles: 1) bibliográfico, 2) consultas a colecciones herpetológicas, y 3) toma de datos de campo de 13 poblaciones. La información de campo se obtendrá mediante a) el análisis del ambiente en el que se encuentran las serpientes, esto es, un análisis descriptivo del habitat, donde será considerado tanto la vegetación presente como el suelo y rocosidad; b) historia natural de la especie, donde se recabará información demográfica, reproductiva y de alimentación y c) Análisis de riesgo, el cual se evaluarán los factores que afecten negativamente a las poblaciones, ya sea directa o indirectamente. La información será recopilada en una base de datos en una hoja de datos de Excel y se formará un catálogo fotográfico de las especies y de sus hábitats. Palabras clave: serpientes de cascabel, Crotalus, península de Baja California, islas del golfo de California.
