Diet and sexual segregation of desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis mexicana Merriam) in Sonora, Mexico

Abstract: Objective: To determine the diet of the desert bighorn sheep and to identify differencesin its composition between sexes during the reproductive and sexual segregation periods.Design/methodology/approach: The study was carried in the UMA Rancho NocheBuena, Hermosillo, Sonora. The microhistological technique and a cell catalog of plantsfrom the study area were used to identify plant species present in fecal samples ofbighorn sheep. The relative frequency, the Shannon-Weaver diversity index and theKulczynski sim… Show more

“…Las poblaciones de borregos en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos de América y noroeste de México tienen una preferencia por el consumo de arbustos (Tarango et al 2002, Guerrero-Cárdenas et al 2016, O'Farrill et al 2018, Gastelum-Mendoza et al 2021. Los resultados de este estudio y diversas investigaciones respaldan este planteamiento.…”

“…Por ejemplo, en Sierra San Pedro Mártir, Baja California se identificaron 12% (Martínez y Galindo 2001); y en la Sierra El Mechudo, Baja California Sur 0.2% (Guerrero-Cárdenas et al 2016). En Sonora, en la Sierra El Viejo y Sierra Noche Buena, se encontraron 18 y 1% de suculentas, respectivamente (Tarango et al 2002, Gastelum-Mendoza et al 2021. En el presente estudio, se observó un consumo mayor de suculentas en verano y menor en invierno.…”

“…In Mexico, studies on bighorn sheep have focused on diet composition (Tarango et al, 2002;Guerrero-Cárdenas et al, 2016;O'Farrill, et al, 2019;Peralta, 2020;Gastelum-Mendoza et al, 2021), habitat use (Tarango et al, 2002a;O'Farrill et al, 2019), use of natural waterholes (Escobar-Flores et al, 2016) and only one study on nutritional composition of bighorn sheep diet (Guerrero-Cárdenas et al, 2018). In this regard, crude protein and phosphorus, as established by McKinney et al (2006) for the southern United States of America, could be limiting the development of wildlife populations in northern Mexico.…”
