Jalisco is one of the states in Mexico that has received more attention by mammalogists and these studies have covered varied topics, one of them are the inventories that have increased our knowledge about states mammal diversity and conservation. After of mammal checklist publications, there have been many taxonomic changes that modify the known inventories of Jalisco. We examined these taxonomic changes and their effect in the richness and composition of species. We recorded 56 taxonomic changes that do not modify notably the richness (1.2 to 3.5%); however, the composition is largely affected (21.7 to 31.7%). The taxonomic changes can modify the inventories in a qualitative and/or quantitative way, and affecting or changing the strategies of use, management and conservation.
Introduction:The state of Jalisco with only 4.0 % of the national area holds about 27.0 % (64 spp) of all rodent species described for Mexico. This knowledge of the richness of rodents from Jalisco is clearly known and refers only to the publications cited the presence of a taxon inside the state border. Therefore, this paper aims to propose an illustrated key to facilitate any interested person a tool that allows them to easily recognize rodent species inhabiting the state of Jalisco. It also represents an effort that seeks to contribute to a better understanding of morphological variation that is so difficult to appreciate in this group of vertebrates. Methods: The key to the identification of rodents of Jalisco was integrated based on the compilation and analysis of bibliographic information, and review of museum specimens deposited in the mammal collection of the Centro de Estudios en Zoología, Universidad de Guadalajara (CZUG). We consider first the original literature where these taxa are described, and ensure the correct identification of the members of the rodents were considered diagnostic characters allowing species easily recognize. With the purpose of facilitating the understanding and accessibility of the key to any interested and not just specialists, have been included illustrations that accompany the text in almost all expressions of character states.
El Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna La Primavera (APFFLP) se localiza en el occidente de México en el estado de Jalisco, es una de las 19 áreas protegidas decretadas en la entidad. Esta área es de gran interés al ubicarse en la 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 la entidad y del país, y su riqueza dentro de la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana. El trabajo de campo se llevó a cabo en dos periodos, diciembre 2004-diciembre 2006 y octubre 2010-diciembre 2012. En el primero se usaron diversas técnicas como capturas y registros visuales de los mamíferos, excepto murciélagos; en el segundo se usaron redes de niebla para la recolecta de la quiropterofauna. Se registraron 59 especies, las cuales quedan comprendidas en ocho órdenes, 19 familias y 48 géneros. El orden Chiroptera fue el más abundante (27), seguido de Rodentia (14) y Carnivora (11). En relación con su distribución geográfica actual, 23 especies se consideraron de amplia distribución, 17 compartidas con Norteamérica, 10 endémicas a México y Mesoamérica y nueve compartidas con América del Sur. De acuerdo con la legislación mexicana, se registran tres especies amenazadas (Cratogeomys fumosus, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae y Choeronycteris mexicana). En conclusión, resalta su importancia por albergar más especies y endemismos que otras áreas consideradas relevantes en el país, además de ser un área importante de riqueza de mamíferos en la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana.
