ResumenDebido a que los mamíferos silvestres fueron el grupo de vertebrados más utilizados de la etnofauna local en 11 comunidades indígenas del norte de Sinaloa se realizó el presente estudio, cuyo propósito fue caracterizar y describir el uso de la mastofauna por Yoremes y Yoris (mestizos). El 54 % de los cazadores entrevistados pertenecen a la etnia Mayo-Yoreme y 46 % son Yoris. Se mencionaron 15 especies locales de mamí-feros, de las cuales 47 % se encuentra en alguna categoría de riesgo. Cada entrevistado aprovechó entre una y 11 especies y las utilizó hasta de ocho formas distintas, siendo las más frecuentes el alimentario, el artesanal, el medicinal y el ritual. El número de usos no varió entre Yoremes y Yoris, pero sí entre órdenes taxonómicas. Las especies más importantes fueron el venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus sinaloae) y el gato montés (Lynx rufus) para ambos grupos étnicos; el jabalí de collar (Pecari tajacu) para los Yoreme; y la rata de monte (Neotoma phenax) para los Yoris. El conocimiento de las especies cazadas y sus usos contribuirá a la gestión de su aprovechamiento cultural y de subsistencia de las comunidades indígenas del norte de Sinaloa. AbstRActBecause wild mammals were the group of vertebrates most frequently used from the local ethnofauna in 11 indigenous communities from the north of Sinaloa, this study was carried out, with the purpose of characterizing and describing the use of mammals by Yoremes and Yoris (mestizos). Of the hunters interviewed, 54 % belong to the Mayo-Yoreme ethnic group, and 46 % are Yoris. Fifteen local mammal species were mentioned, of which 47 % were found in some category of risk. Each person interviewed exploited between one and 11 species, and used them in up to eight different ways, with the most frequent being for food, artisanal, medicinal and ritual. The number of uses between Yoremes and Yoris did not vary, but it did between taxonomic orders. The most important species were the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus sinaloae) and the wildcat (Lynx rufus) for both ethnic groups; the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) for the Yoreme; and the Sonoran woodrat (Neotoma phenax) for the Yoris. The knowledge of species hunted and their uses will contribute to the management of their cultural exploitation and for subsistence in the indigenous communities of the north of Sinaloa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
